Mike Gallagher is probably the most pro-Newt national radio host out there now. It was disappointing that Levin endorsed Santorum without apparently vetting him. Or that Malkin bashed Newt for endorsing a moderate Republican and then endorsed Santorum who endorsed both Specter and Romney, which were far more high-profile endorsements that anyone should have known would get mentioned in debates and ads, unlike Newt’s no-name Dede endorsement that no one in the world cares about.
Anyway, it’s ridiculous to think any current news story will have an impact on the election. Things move so fast in politics. Dial back the calendar 8 months and look what was in the news then. Is any of it affecting the current election, unless it’s a genuine ongoing problem like Iran? Rush would have to call her a different name every week to keep it an issue. Not to mention, the public already hates Rush for the same reason they hate Palin and hated Newt in the ‘90s. The media told them to and they obeyed without questioning.
Is it a ‘fluke’ how Rush is pronouncing her name?
What I keep going back to is George Bush Sr. For the ‘92 election he seemed, at one time, unstoppable with approval ratings above 90%. I suspect that is why no “real” Democrats ran against him. So they threw in this Clinton guy, complete with Genifer Flowers scandal.
But Bush’s ratings plummeted during the election cycle. And the rest is history. I’ve learned to let time pass and issues age before predicting an election. And I think some very “interesting” things will be happening the next few months.
