re: #425 Charles

Limbaugh has publicly said he’s not a Republican. He’s a self-identified conservative. His listeners are primarily conservatives. They have enough clout in the GOP to force Steele to back down after attacking Limbaugh.

I’d ask you the converse question: since he’s not a Republican, why should anyone attack, or care about, Limbaugh? Answer: he has 20 million listeners, and can swing regional and national races by influencing them. If Limbaugh praises me to his listeners, I’m an instant conservative celebrity.
