Rush Should Run

A couple of days ago, Rush Limbaugh and Ann Coulter appeared on a comedy promotion for a new Fox news program with Limbaugh as President and Coulter as Vice-President. The promo appears here on YouTube.

RSI thinks they should go for it and run.

The Republicans don't have a viable conservative candidate for 2008 and don't have much chance of winning anyway. Why not nominate Limbaugh and Coulter? They're popular conservatives who can deliver eloquent expressions of right-wing values. Even if they wouldn't have much chance of winning an election, their appearance on the ticket would bolster the morale of discouraged Republican voters. They could also fulfill the Goldwater function of keeping the flame of conservatism burning while the right waits for the next Ronald Reagan to come along.

Why not have some fun when you lose. Limbaugh/Coulter in 2008.

Rush and coulter both have enough sense to know that pundits are not electable. Which is something Al Franken hasn't figured out. Besides Rush has said for years why he won't run for public office: a paycut. But since liberal radio had no understanding of how to run a business, Al Franken wasn't getting paid anyway. So running for Senate is an understandable career move for him

Rush should be thinking of duty rather than money. If he believes in anything he says or has any loyalty to the conservative movement, he should be willing to sacrifice himself at this time of severe crisis for the right-wing.
