I guess we’ll see if he’s receiving ‘bad advice’ after tomorrow’s Caucus and the next few primaries.
Fred's out of money, and if he doesn't do well in Iowa then he may not make it through the next few primaries.
Too bad Rush never came right out and endorsed Thompson.
That's what he really needed, though even that might not have been enough. But when you consider just how weak the entire GOP field is with the exception of Fred and the bizarre situation right now where Republicans seem to be going for any and every candidate except for the true conservative, then really the future of the party, the conservative movement, and the country are at stake right now.
I think Rush probably didn't want to put his reputation and influence on the line for Thompson. I doubt he thinks Fred can close the deal either, and if he endorsed Fred and then Fred didn't win, then the media would declare his influence over.
I think that's the real reason Rush hasn't endorsed.
