I am not a Rush Limbaugh listener (but I have friends who don’t believe it until Rush says it). Still, this Newsmax.com article caught my interest. Check this out:
“Conservative radio talk show host Rush Limbaugh stunned his listeners by announcing that he might not support the Republican presidential nominee in this year’s election. Limbaugh said on Monday’s show: "I can see possibly not supporting the Republican nominee this election, and I never thought that I would say that in my life."
The reason: “You don’t have a genuine down-the-list conservative” among the GOP candidates.
…
But Limbaugh’s remarks are not quite so surprising in light of statements he made about GOP candidates Mike Huckabee and John McCain last week:
“I'm here to tell you, if either of these two guys get the nomination, it's going to destroy the Republican Party. It's going to change it forever, be the end of it. A lot of people aren't going to vote. You watch.”

Rush’s sentiment is of interest to me because (1) just yesterday I said to a friend, “if McCain is the nominee this could be the first election in my life that I don’t vote,” (2) a Rush-a-holic friend of mine disqualified Ron Paul because Paul would not give a blanket pledge to support the GOP nominee – now Rush himself says the same, and (3) I agree with his assessment of a Huckster or McCain nomination.

Wow. This is an interesting post. I am not a Rush fan but this is a very interesting development. Many of my friends and I have been talking and our realization was almost the same sentiment. Mitt is ahead in FL now and still ahead in overall delegate count.
Will be interesting. Are you going to watch the debates tonight?
