If you read McCain’s Opposition Research file on Romney ... there’s a really ood reason why he can’t articulate conservatism. I doubt Rush thinks Romney can move right, but he’s trying not to bash any particular candidate, just as he won’t endorse.
Hope you are correct.
I'd respect that in Rush if I believed it of him, but if I'm correctly remembering his words in in 2007 2008, including "If McCain wins the nomination, it's the end of the GOP," he BASHED McCain back then.
I think Romney amd Romney's supporters intimidate Rush's self-confidence in a way that neither McCain nor his supporters ever could.
