Rush's ? influence

It's a big distraction, talking about Rush Limbaugh, while the Republican party continues to plunge downward in voter's approval ratings. RNC Chair Steele continues to make rather inane remarks, such as his latest plan to put the party on a "12-step program of recovery."

But just how much influence does Limbaugh have outside the red-meat conservatives that he entertained at last week's C-PAC meeting? Some cite his 20 million listeners as evidence of his influence.

I have news for them. Not all those listeners, by a long shot, agree with or support Rush. I personally know people who listen for the entertainment but who vehemently disagree with Rush.

And the polls show it: only 11% approval in the under 40 age group.
