I think he gives himself too much credit, smacks of self-indulgent ego-stroking to me.
P.S. I thought McCain wasn't conservative enough for him, or did he flip-flop?
The number of republicans that showed up to vote in the democrat primary are the largest in history. Rush is no stranger to self-indulgent ego stroking, but the numbers back him up in this case.
McCain is not conservative enough for him. He still has to pick from the list of 2 just like everyone else. McCain is a lot closer to Rush's views than Barry is.
