Friday wasn't the first time Rush made his assessment of the Huckster. And Huck's reach out to Rush is laughable as Rush will not be back on the air until the day of the Hawkeye Cauci. OK, not laughable, but shrewd.
And Rush has often spoken well of Fred, even going stronger on Friday than his earlier comments. IMHO, Rush has gotten very close to endorsing Fred without overtly doing so.

Saying that Fred is the only conservative one in the top tier was pretty much an endorsement, IMO.

Methinks someone else’s campaign had their hand in this.

I no longer think a Thompson win in Iowa is out of the questionI'm no eggspurt but Jan 4th will bear out this prediction either way.

I'm starting to see signs that the attacks on Huckabee by Romney are actually driving some voters to Fred Thompson and not to Romney has he had intended.I suspect that the primary goal of the Romney camp at this stage is to shoot out a couple of tires on the Huckmobile.

Methinks someone elses campaign had their hand in this. <>/i> Rush stated on Friday that his essay on Huck was the result of comments made by Ed Rollins, national chair of the Huck campaign.

Saying that Fred is the only conservative one in the top tier was pretty much an endorsement, IMO. I did not hear this but if true, Rush is right--again, as usual. Fred is the only conservative in the top tier. The only other one is Duncan Hunter.

Every candidate lives with the possibility that at some point, someone on their staff will screw up and do or say something so stupid that it can derail the campaign. Sometimes it can be just a low level staffer, but it doesn't matter because the damage can be permanent.
If this was actually the fault of Ed Rollins it counts as a world class screw-up for someone so politically savvy. So depending on where one's passions are, Rollins should resign, or to others, GO ED GO! Keep tripping up Hucklebee. (A caller on Rush's show recently kept pronouncing it Hucklebee.)

Hi, NVA........I heard Rush say he'd be back on Jan. 2, the day before the Hawkeye Cauci.
Now whether that means he'll be back on the air on the 2nd.....I don't know. I personally think he WILL be back on the 2nd. I don't believe he'd miss that day for the world.
At any rate, his show on this date would be VERY interesting to listen to.
He can be a BIG influence on the caucus the next day.

The stupidity of this statement is jaw dropping:
Unidentified: "Honestly...Rush doesn't think for himself. That's not necessarily a slap because he's not paid to be a thinker -- he's an entertainer. I can't remember the last time that he has veered from the talking points from the DC-Manhattan chattering class." And I thought, as I told you yesterday, "What in the world here? Anybody that's running a Republican candidate or is on the staff of a Republican presidential candidate can't possibly believe this. Maybe it wasn't Huckabee or anybody in his staff leaking this. Maybe it was somebody else."

I have heard Rush come very close to endorsing Fred, very VERY close. I wish he would go on and do it!
Go Fred Go!

Yep, when he first said it I thought he was only characterizing Fred’s remarks but this Friday Rush confirmed tht he meant Fred as a candidate. My condolences to the Hunter supporters as Duncan is the exception to the rule and is worthy of an honorable mention. Thompson / Hunter would make a great team.
