Rush waited until it didn't matter to endorse and as a result he left the field open to the McCain/Huckabee show. McCain won the nomination by plurality, nor majority, votes in almost all states, many times with less than 40% of the vote.

Most certainly NOT a ringing victory or indicative of Party appeal.

Good point. I'm not going to disagree that McCain is, in many ways, a flawed candidate. However, Rush has no right whatsoever to sit here now and bitch about McCain being the nominee. Back when we had some very qualified conservatives in the running (ex: Fred Thompson), Rush was sitting on his hands and even flirting with supporting Guiliani.

Finally, when it was all but too late, he grudgingly threw some support behind Romney... who's also a moderate.

If Rush doesn't want to support McCain, that's his right. But he ought to man up and stop trying to get Hillary elected by subterfuge.
