It’s been all over the news this week how strongly Rush has gushed about Walker. That’s what he’s been doing through the week. And, as I said, “virtual endorsement”, which implies something different than a formal endorsement.

And no, he doesn’t gush about any and every Republican candidate in the news.

And those who aren’t gushing about Walker are ****ing Rubio from the Koch ‘interview’.

Ted got 2X the applause Walker did. Pretty much everybody at Iowa last weekend knows Walker.

I get the impression Ted would take Scott as VP, but not the other way around, which tells me Walker is more serious about himself than turning around the wreck zero has morphed the USA into. And he behaves with the confidence of someone who’s got the Chamber of Commerce in his back pocket.

And we, and a lot of other people, are talking about it. A lot.

Would LOVE to see how this is impacting Rush's ratings. Could there be a "completely coincidental" uptick as a result of the controversy buzz he's now generated?

Now, I like Rush a lot. And he's done really good work over the last 25+ years, reaching and speaking to what was an incredibly under-served audience. Building a strong industry that gives voice to Conservatives in the process.

But I also understand that he's a Conservative entertainer (most people tend to forget that last part) who lives and dies (and is enriched) by his ratings.

So he's been able to fill a whole week's worth of airtime talking about Scott Walker. I'm willing to bet that he gets a couple/few more days out of it next week as well.
