Limbaugh's Worried About NH Posted by Mike Tennant at January 7, 2008 12:08 PM
He spent much of the first hour of his show today discounting the importance of the New Hampshire primaries as well as (truthfully) describing McCain and Huckabee as liberals. You see, since independents can vote in NH, and since NH has become very liberal as a result of the flight of liberals from Massachusetts, the results of the NH primary will be skewed so much that a genuine conservative couldn't possibly win. Therefore, we should ignore the results of the NH primary.
In fact, says Limbaugh, a real conservative wouldn't be banking on NH, as McCain is, but on South Carolina. This ought to tell us whom Limbaugh is backing, despite his protestations that he doesn't endorse candidates in primaries, because the one candidate who is doing precisely that is Fred Thompson.
One thing is for sure: Rush won't be happy if Ron Paul wins the nomination. He has specifically stated that any candidate who suggests applying the Golden Rule to foreign countries is not conservative and thus is unworthy of his support.
