Too Polarizing?

Reader Terri Wagner thinks Rush Limbaugh is too polarizing to run successfully for the presidency. Yes, that may be true, but...

Rush has lost over eighty pounds, and is still happily on his diet. I just wonder if a run for the presidency might be in the back of his mind or somewhere else on his "glorious body." He would have huge, enthusiastic support from a large segment of America's middle class. For over twenty-five years Rush has been pounding away at the same message Ronald Reagan pounded away at when he was spokesperson for General Electric: individual liberty, personal responsibility, limited government, strong national defense, loving and respecting this country and its founding principles. Reagan was also a polarizing figure, having no sympathy and givng not an inch to the protesting students during the 1960s, when he was governor of California. No opponent would stand a chance in a debate with Rush. He is "onto them." He "knows them like he knows every inch of his glorious body." He is at least as media savvy as Obama, but Obama could not go head-to-head with Rush. Rush would eat him alive (and then have to go back on his diet).

Unlike this last campaign, the middle class of America would be galvanized, enthusiastic, involved, and highly motivated to work for Rush's election! Can you imagine the television ratings of a debate between Obama and Limbaugh? I can hear the shouts of "You tell 'em Rush" coming out of the windows of middle class houses all over America. Americans are personally attached to Rush, because his enemies are their enemies.
