As it stands right now he beats all comers in head-to-head matchups. He'll eat Obama for lunch. FOX is debating whether Fred's dropping out this morning. Who will folks turn to next? We need to unite and defeat the real domestic enemies - the Democrats. At some point I hope conservatives get excited about McCain.

He falls right in line with their views. " McCain is not a Liberal. And the Media is not at all "Liberal" any more (unless your definition of "Middle-of-the-road" is NewsMax). What McCain is very goot at is charming and manipulating the Media, of almost all stripes. He has, and continues to have them eating out of his hand. And the laziness of reporters, and their succeptibility to even the slightest charm, causes them to turn off all critical thinking that may have been left and just parrot talking points supplied to them. I stopped paying any attention to any kind of political reporting from the "Media" years ago, when so-called "Liberal" Chris Mathews gushed his man-crush on George W. Bush as "the guy America would like to have a beer with". When something like that passes for political reporting, then ther is no use wasting any time listening or watching. I'll stick to The Economist, the (pre-Murdoch) Wall Street Journal and (are you sitting down?) blogs such as this where I can demand links to sources and facts that I can verify as accuratly reported, or distorted (a concept that I believe the general Media, of all stripes, would not even comprehend). Item 2: No, Rush will not sit out this election. That would be emotionally impossible for him to do (not a criticism or compliment: That is just his personality,as I observe it). I do believe, however, that Rush Limbaugh will wait to see who the likely winner is and then declare that is the candidate he preferred all along: Rush doesn't like to be seen as backing losers.

Just some musing on his part. Is the field thin? Yes. But, I won't toss in the towel because of that. Rush won’t sit out this election. Just some musing on his part.

McCain is a complete puppet of the liberal media when there's been sufficient 'outrage' generated. He falls right in line with their views. I really don't need the Right successfully redefined by McCain. Especially when he's going to act like a Democrat, fail like a Democrat, but have the blame put on Conservatism.
