Because he had announced that he was not going to make a formal endorsement during the primaries, IIRC.
You reply: Because he had announced that he was not going to make a formal endorsement during the primaries, IIRC.
If he had already announced it, why did he feel compelled to say, "I stress again here: I am not endorsing anybody." Why did he say it? You're the lawyer. Are you presenting as an argument that Rush was only reiterating his "no formal endorsement" policy?" For what reason? To imply that he really didn't mean it, that indeed he was informally endorsing Romney by saying, "I stress again here: I am not endorsing anybody"?
Huh?????
WHY did Rush stress that his words about Romney were not to be taken as an endorsement?
As some kind of signal that indeed he meant the opposite???
