Well, I truly hope that Limbaugh has been humbled by his listening audience and gets off his high-horse and joins the fray.
After saying that he's tired of "carrying the water" for Republicans after 2006, it's time for him to "back a horse" in this race, definitively, even if this is ground-breaking for him, risky for him, whatever.
It's time for Rush Limbaugh to "put his money where his mouth is" and become a Player. There is too much at stake, he's established himself comfortabley on the loyalty of his listenere, there will be no Mea Culpa's if he waits too long to matter.
Tomorrow is D-Day for Rush Limbaugh.

If Rush endorsed Romney, he’d seriously piss off a good portion of his audience, who would call him a sellout, insist he was a liberal, wonder how much he was paid, and start making stuff up about him to discredit him.
If he endorsed Thompson, the reaction wouldn’t be nearly so bad for him, but he’d still piss off a good part of his audience.
I’m not saying he won’t endorse someone — I’m just defending him if he decides not to. It’s not his job to tell people what to do, and I don’t think there’s any question to his loyal audience how he feels about Fred Thompson.
I could be wrong but I don't think that Rush has ever endorsed a candidate during the primaries. He may this time but I doubt it.
