The GOP establishment - including conservative stalwart Limbaugh - picked Romney last year. How did that work out? As difficult as it is for some to admit, the establishment doesn't select the party nominee. The voters do that. Anyone who wants the nomination, has to convince more people to vote for them than vote for the other guys. It's as simple as that.

No, they don’t. I would have voted for Romney last time, but he wasn’t on the ticket by the time it got to Mississippi. A few states make the choice. The system is flawed. Big time.
Caught up in that short window of madness involving McCain and 2008, Rush showed a preference for Romney over McCain, who he hates, but he never endorsed Romney, and he no longer mentions him.
As a "conservative stalwart" Rush is already on the Governor Palin band wagon, although we are years away and there is no pressure or desperation, Rush has been glowing in his enthusiasm and praise for Governor Palin.
..I don't really remember Rush "picking" Romney. I do remember Laura Ingraham's temporary infatuation.
The latest conservative\tea party counter-revolution is not a top down movement anyway, thankfully. Media personalities are only a good thing if they support what we (the grassroots) believe in...
