If you have quotes of Rush endorsing Mittens, then post them now. Otherwise you are just making stuff up. The same goes for Beck and Levin who are promoting Santorum.
**********************

I’m not making anything up. If Rush were consistent, he would be denigrating the Romney candidacy, and promoting Newt and Rick. Romney=McCain! But, he’s not. What is he telling us— Romney’s a conservative?????

As for Levin and Beck, they are promoting an alternative conservative (based on your statements)— Rush is harboring everything he purports to be against in not actively disavowing Romney. Wonder why???

Thankfully, Jeb Bush isn’t running because I know exactly what I would hear from Limbaugh in that regard.

Yup. I will NOT vote for Romney. And I will do everything that I can to educate people about him.

I have heard NOTHING from RUSH that indicates what YOU said....he’s been trying to stay OUT of endorsement...it’s been VERY obvious.

So, you want Rush to DENIGRATE a GOP candidate before the primaries are over?...kinda stupid if you ask me...

Fact check ... primaries are not over. Indiana’s will be in May.

Also, 35 or 50 delegates is a long way from the 1,100 or so needed to win the nomination.

Finally, Rush has been wrong before. You could look it up.

Opinion: Romney doesn’t stand a chance against Obama.

"He has been."

It's been really hard to miss that. Romney is clearly his third choice among the GOP candidates (before Paul).

I wonder why it's so hard for some to recognize that. They can't possibly be listening.

Can anybody who is actually from Florida tell me who and how the Florida primary date is established?

Precisely! You got my intent with exactitude! Rush has always trumpeted his devotion to Ronald Reagan-—Now, what would Reagan think of Mitt Romney???? I know exactly what he would think.

You have 2 conservatives in this race-(Newt and Rick)-— and we have an avowed liberal.. And Rush, can’t seem to decide between the 3.

My, my my.

I always respected Limbaugh as a devotee of conservatism and the grassroots— but like Ann Coulter and others, he’s now showing his true colors.

If Rush is Rush, Romney shouldn’t be a choice at all- now should he?

According to Republican National Committee guidelines, all contests held prior to April 1 must allocate delegates proportionally.

I did not know this. Curious that no one chose to challenge how FL planned to distribute their delegates prior to the primary. I can understand why neither Newt nor Mitt would want to, as they would not have wanted to share if they won. But I have to wonder why Paul or Santorum didn't bring it up.

I disagree. As a Floridian who voted for Newt and who resides in one of the Counties that Newt won, I don’t appreciate my vote being quashed!

Greta had Reince Priebus on her show Wednesday night and asked him about this. Priebus said that the RNC has in place a specific committee for contested election results. He said that Gingrich would have to file a complaint with that committee, and that it would have to be heard and decided by them. Preibus said that in his opinion the matter had been dealt with by stripping FL of half their delegates, but, that if the Gingrich campaign thought otherwise, they needed to file that complaint. I had the impression from what he said that a complaint hadn’t been filed, at least as of Wednesday night. I hope we haven’t heard the last of this!

He's been as crystal clear about that as a man can possibly be. I'm convinced that those who continue opining that Rush is in the tank for Mythens actually never listen to Rush's show.

The Governor, the Senate President and the House speaker appoint members to a committee, the Presidential Preference Primary Committee. It went down like this:

Senate President Mike Haridopolos, R-Merritt Island, named Sen. John Thrasher of St. Augustine and Sen. Rene Garcia of Hialeah, both Republicans, and Democratic Sen. Gary Siplin of Orlando.

House Speaker Dean Cannon, R-Winter Park, chose two Republicans, Reps. Carlos Lopez-Cantera of Miami, and Seth McKeel of Lakeland and Democrat Cynthia Stafford of Miami.

Gov. Rick Scott named former Gov. Bob Martinez and his deputy chief of staff Jenn Ungru, both Republicans, and former Democratic state Sen. Al Lawson.

In other words the RNC did not break its own rules and the State GOP did not break the RNC rules, it was a state bi-partisan Committee that set the date. One last question is it state law as it is here in NM that Florida is a winner take all state.

I for one do not want a political party infringing on state’s rights we get enough of that from the Feds.

Lots of dicussion about this subject on TV, but no one is discussing that Santorum in an interview yesterday morning (day before ?) said that everyone understood before the primary that the delegates would be awarded proportionally.

The interview was on after the Fox & Friends program. Sorry, can’t think of the blondes name.
