I think this is true to some extent - Rush seemed to think it was better not to support anybody and to simply let it play out. What you had was power on one side (McCain, supported by the RINO establishment), money on another (Romney, a RINO but not the one chosen by the establishment), and then all the rest of them (Huckabee, Hunter, etc), who were obviously of no interest to the RNC. I think he should have picked somebody from that group or possibly even spotlighted somebody different. But he didn't, and instead went into this ridiculous "Operation Chaos" stuff.
Maybe he's trying to make up for this now. In any case, I think his message was right on target. We have to know our positions, be confident in them, be positive, and not let ourselves be intimidated. We have lots and lots of good people emerging - Jindal, Palin, DeMint, Sanford, etc. - and we will have leaders if the base coalesces
Yeah, but how will the base coalesce if half of it sits and home and picks its nose because of the 5% of the things it doesn't like about the GOP?
