I think it highly unlikely that Rush has has had any material influence on the Democrat campaigns. He has, however, capitalized on the contradictions there magnificently and has probably brought more Republicans to accept and vote for McCain in November than otherwise would have even as he is not “supporting” McCain. He is helping to make both Democrats look like incompetents and scoundrels. He is also poisoning a Clinton “win” of the nomination by labeling her for the MoveOnists as a Republican plant.
“She also lies to our face (along with her husband) whenever she can get away with it. These are not the values that we fought so hard for over the past 7+ years.”
So before 2000 it was OK to lie...?
