Rush can't trash Romney because he has concluded (probably correctly) that Romney will win the nomination and Rush will have to back Romney in the fall against Obama - and he can't afford to have a lot of audio tape of him bashing Romney for Obama to use in his campaign.
As well, Rush likes the role of being kingmaker and getting invites to the WH.

Pfffft! Why should Rush worry if he's going to ruin whatever Conservative “creds” he might have by endorsing Romney in the Fall??? All he has to do is bash Obama; no need to shill for Romney if he is a true Conservative.

You may very well be correct, but Rush is now seen by me as an untrustworthy piece of slime and will be from here on out.

Rush could have shined, but he failed. check out Mark L. today-—he is on fire.

COme on people, Rush doesn’t have to suck up to the potential nonimnee. Do you guys actually listen to his show. Don’t you remember his McCain commercials that were being played throughout the 2008 campaign (Playing until the first week in November).

I caught part of the show today. Rush basically broke down both sides of the aisle. He absolutely said that if Gingrich was really against Reagan, there is no way Nancy would have been with him on stage last year. If any of you read the Reagan Diaries you know that Nancy was Mama bear in protecting Ronald and would absolutely not had anything to do with Newt.

Rush did play the clips where Newt, in his own words, said that the Republicans and Senior Bush could not win with that playbook in 1988. Those were Newt’s words, so nobody here can try to say those were made up. At the end of what I heard I think Rush gave a pretty balanced analysis comparing Newt’s known leadership of Reagan but also showed where the soundbites were real and that it was strange and he didn’t know that side of GIngrich.

Or he’s on a lot of Bonneville Broadcasting radio stations and he doesn’t want to have a lot of audio tape trashing their candidate.
