RE: So, why hasnt he wholly dispatched Romney, and urged the candidacies of Rick and/or Newt from Day One?
He’s between a rock and a hard place ( just like many conservatives are ).
I am NOT going to vote for Romney in the primaries, but if he were the official candidate, HECK, between him and Obama, I’d go for Romney. Easy choice.
Rush doesn’t want to give the Obama campaign any CAMPAIGN AMMO IN CASE Romney is the candidate.

That’s Rush’s cover. If he merely said that Mitt’s a Rino moderate, and he prefers the genuine conservatives- that would give absolutely no ammunition to the Dems. In fact, it would help Romney in the general in having been declared a moderate by Rush.
Rush is for Romney, period.
Rush didn't play that game in 2008, the whole world knew that he supported Romney and despised his challengers.
