A Rush of Support?

If "Democrats are engaging in a concerted campaign to link the national Republican Party to conservative talk-radio show host Rush Limbaugh," how will this affect the party? "The conventional strategy in such cases is for the administration in power to avoid talking about a mere radio critic. That would elevate him to the level of the president. Which, it turns out, is exactly what the Obama team wants."

Already the fissures can be felt between the fiscal conservatives and the Rush Republicans, but some argue that the Republican party would lose all power/support without the Rush Followers - thus explaining why anyone who denounces Rush is quick to schedule a public apology on his show (see Gingrey). Michael Steele might be the next Rush victim.

So are Republicans right to fear the wrath of Rush? Or should Republicans fear this new Democrat initiative (especially if Rush is connected with the Dark Side to which these politicians have pledged their loyalty)? Is Rush strong enough to survive this kind of attack? Probably so - his followers already equate Dems with the Devil...any news from CPAC?

Should Rush ever lose his job, this video might help...
