I think Rush should have spent a little more time analyzing and focusing on the GOP candidates, rather than being mesmerized by Hillary Clinton, and we might actually have gotten a better candidate. I actually quit listening to him for awhile, because it was all Dems all the time. Since GOP candidates never get any decent press coverage, if Rush had given them a little more attention, we might have been able to get momentum behind a better one than McCain.

Oh, I typed something similar then decided not to post. I’m glad I found your response! I so agree, and that goes for Sean, too: No more Stop XXXX Express. Let’s get the best candidates prepped, offered and SOLD based on their core principles and values.

The GOP did a terrible job fighting back in Ohio. Obama pounded us hard in the last few days and we just sat there and took it. How is that Rush’s fault?

I realize Rush is not the mouthpiece of the GOP and in a sense, the party affiliation isn’t that important. But the problem is that the few conservatives we have are in the GOP, and it would be great if somebody with Rush’s clout could help promote those conservatives.

Operation Chaos didn't begin until after McCain had sewn up the GOP nomination. It's not Rush's job to focus on other GOP candidates, it's their job to make their own cases. Romney threw $40 million at it and sunk like a rock. Thompson never got off the Ambien. The Huckster decided to be a McCain stalking horse. For Guiliani, it was over before it got started. He needed to make his case in Iowa and New Hampshire. Ron Paul never had a chance.

So, who was Rush supposed to focus on?
