"Bottom line is, his audience are his 'voters'. And he needs those "voters" in order to keep his job.

Perhaps, but he can (and does) quite well with only 20-30% of the "voters".

Other people can't be very successful unless they actually get 50% + 1%.

Think about the difference in the "audiences" or "voters".

Which audience is easier to reach and inform (or misinform) and keep?

To get his 20-30% of the audience and then to keep them loyal and coming back for more speaks louder for Rush than an audience which is mostly ignorant, ill-informed, and easily duped.

When compared, which audience, or "voters", are best informed and better educated? Is it Rush's or Obama's or any other politician with the 50% + 1 plurality?

I would say that it's a lot harder to attain and keep Rush's audience than to get a simple majority of voters.
