LOL, I think part of it is that that Rush was praising Walker so much last week after that Iowa speech that it made Reagan look lackluster in comparison. I heard a bit of it and Rush was really going on.
As you know I don't follow crowds so it just made me laugh;
Personally I have liked Walker for a while, he inspired my first youtube extranormal video in early 2011 when WI Dems shutdown the legislature to stop him from cutting public teachers benefits.

Heh. Its possible that Rush is part of the cause. I recall that Rush was talking up Rick Perry in 2012 and saying how "exciting" it would be if he entered the already crowded GOP presidential field. Overnight, a bunch of Perrybots sprung up on this site and started hailing La Raza Rick as THE anti-Romney candidate and second coming of Ronald Reagan.
It was amusing because as Impy noted at the time, Perry and Romney had more in common with each other than either had with the Tea Party. Perry was just a mediocre career politician who knows how to pander to his base. Then he was reinvented as a heroic anti-establishment conservative crusader overnight.

I agree. I'd glad Rush is on the same side as me this time around, but as others noted, Walker has been in my top tier long before Rush mentioned him. I just found it doubtful that he'd do well nationally until the Iowa poll showed promise.

Well the other thing is Mark Levin has "concerns" about Walker (as I noted earlier on this thread, he amusingly had no problem cheerleading for other candidates whose record on immigration was far more "questionable" than Walker's). Rush is far better known, has been in the public spotlight far longer, and IMO is a much better face for the conservative movement in the USA, but Rush doesn't have the creepy "Talk show host=GOD" type of worship that Levin enjoys with his fanbase. So unless Levin warms to Walker, we can expect considerable "Walker is dirty filthy RINO scum cuz Levin says so" opposition from Levinites.
