from my experience obama is the one pulling republicans back to the right thus their elected officials are responding. i hang out with repubicans and democrats alike and the democrats are the only ones that have brought up rush's name. he never get's discussed EVER in my republican circles. who would discuss him? how many people can listen to the radio at 1pm even if they wanted to?
Honestly, that's what I think it's about. Call him out and see how the core of the party reacts. Do they come to his aid, or (as I predict) rightfully distance themselves from him. At which point, they prove he is irrelevant.
probably has the largest daily audience of any Republican out there. So while I recognize he has no vote on anything, he really is the conscience of a powerful and motivated paet of the party. The people who listen to him vote.

And in the meantime when our country and economy need the president to be out in front leading and helping to quell the uncertainty in the stock market and economical issues he and his party are spending their time and valuable resources on Rush and trying to create a further rift in the Republican party. That is irresponsible and childish.
