Rush thinks that is 'good' - fair - but misses point that Newt needed/s more support; given he has far less per starting point. (Just as Rush offers; he IS the balance per Media). And so it is; the 'missing pieces' are on Newt's side.
Think Rush; has made a huge mistake in not taking more initiative; given that our country is hanging by a thread with oblivion threatening.
Desperate times, call for greater leadership. Rush has not gone there - at least - not 'far enough' per what we wanted to hear. Of course; he does read his tea leaves and so; can justify his positioning. And bottom line; it IS his show; his career; his judgment call.
Rush isn’t being “fair”, “neutral”, he is against Newt.
The thing that is undeniable, is that Rush could be as clear with Mitt and Gingrich, as he was with McCain and Romney last time.
RUSH: “I think now, based on the way the campaign has shaken out, that there probably is a candidate on our side who does embody all three legs of the conservative stool, and that’s Romney.”
