This is pretty dumb. Rush is usually too smart to say or believe this sort of thing.
Yes, he has a good deal of power to influence the nomination process.
No, there’s no way in hell he could give the nomination to Ron Paul or to any of the minor candidates, even if he tried. And if he tried to give it to a loser like McCain, he would lose a lot of his credibility.
IMHO, Duncan Hunter is the best of the minor candidates, yet I doubt whether Rush could push him over the top unless the situation changes in ways I do not expect. I like Duncan Hunter very much, but he’s just not on enough radar screens yet. He’d be a good VP, which would give him future visibility.
Rush is probably the one guy in the country that could save America from congress and the illegal aliens, by coalescing the diverse outrage into formidable and focused opposition so intense that congress cannot ignore it.......I don’t think anyone else can do it!
(I’m talking about this monstrous legislation, not the election)
