The GOP's Real Go-To Guy

Zev Chafets of the LA Times pens a good editorial about the most influential conservative voice in America - Rush Limbaugh. While critics often depict Rush as a radical full of hot air (mainly because they don't listen), Chafets sees him as a brilliant communicator, a sharp mind and a great wit.

Despite what McCain or other "moderate" Republicans might say about Rush Limbaugh, they know they are extremely lucky to have someone like him on their side. Very simply, he is successful because he is the voice of 15-20 million Americans.
