The ultraconservative radio talk show hosts, bloggers and newspaper columnists simply didn't resonate with the party's majority members - the soccer moms and NASCAR dads who never attend precinct meetings, but showed up on election day.

A woman called Rush yesterday to complain about McCain. She introduced herself as someone who had been a die-hard Republican her whole life, and whose mother had been a GOP precinct boss. Rush never bothered to ask her what her involvement in the Republican party is, but did ask her who the Chairman of the RNC was. She didn't know that it was Mike Duncan. Instead of giving her an earful about not being more involved in the GOP, he gave her the red carpet treatment and made her his Conservative Poster Girl for the day. According to Rush, not knowing who Mike Duncan was, Mike Duncan's fault, not hers. For the last 16 years, Rush has been the Clinton's biggest critic, and for the last 8 years he has been preparing us for this fight to keep Hillary from getting back into the White House. In the last 3 weeks, he has morphed into one of her greatest weapons against us. Listening to his show is like watching a train wreck with people you care about on board. It's painful, but you can't avert your attention from it.

I’m an old lady, and for the first time in my life, I am totally confused about who truly believes what about politics. The sad thing is everyone that I talk to, Republicans and Dems alike is going through the same process.

"In the last 3 weeks, he has morphed into one of her greatest weapons against us."

Precisely, how so? In what ways? By saying, or doing what?

I applaud Rush.

If only he had spoken up before Schwarzenegger was foisted upon the people of California.

Anyone-with-an-R-by-their-name is not necessarily good for the Party, or the country.
