Last time out Rush/Levin/FR were pushing Fred (then Mitt), Medved was pushing McCain, Hannity was pushing Rudy, Hewitt was pushing Mitt, the evangelicals were pushing Huck, etc etc.
I'm not at all convinced that most talk radio hosts are as far to the right, or are as conservative as the base is. Even El Rushbo is mild, compared to a lot of posters on this forum.
I've heard enough of them indicate support for Republicans that I can just barely tolerate, for me to be wary of their endorsements.
I think I speak for most conservatives when I say that I'm not interested in having the Republican nominee 'chosen' by major media, be they right, or left.
All that said, I can understand their support of Gov. Palin. She's doing a better job of bruising the left and getting conservative candidates elected, than any other nationally known Republican. They can 'push' her candidacy for the 2012 nomination if they like, but the people will be the reason she captures the nomination - not them.
I rattled off that list to demonstrate that Palin has far more coverage and right leaning media support than anyone last time. She is in a good position to run, generally speaking. As you know, I fully intend to support the most conservative one running. It is highly doubtful that that will be Palin. If it is, so be it, I’ll just have to take up macrame or something.
And you are right, Rush and Levin and Hannity, at the end of the day, were shilling for Mitt last time. A shameful moment in conservative media history.
