VR’s lament: If Rush had talked up Duncan Hunter as much as he has Hillary during Operation Chaos, then we would have had a far superior GOP candidate than McCain.

The time for talking Hunter up was six months ago, at least. Operation Chaos is about weakening the Rats, now and for the forseeable future.

In fact, Duncan Hunter should have been talking himself up for the quarter century he's been in Congress. I don't ever recall seeing him on any of the Sunday talking-head shows, or the three 24/7 news channels at any time before this election. It isn't Rush Limbaugh's fault that Duncan Hunter chose a Presidential election to introduce himself to the American public.

No, I fully well know that the time for talking up Hunnter was six months ago, and if you go back and re-read those old threads, you'll find that all of us Hunter supporters were tearing our hair out that Rush and Sean said largely nothing about Hunter's campaign.

At the time, we were all told by the wise old posters on this forum that Rush did not have that kind of influence over Republican voters and that anything he could possibly say in support of Hunter would be largely wasted.

Now, all I'm seeing on these threads is how ingenious Rush has been in launching Operation Chaos and influencing Republican voters to briefly change their party affiliations to participate in the Rat primaries to stretch out the catfight between Hillary and Obama.

So which is it? Does Rush have enormous influence over how Republicans choose candidates or not? And if so, why did he not help Hunter when he had the chance back in September and October 2007?
