The speech given by Rush Limbaugh looks to be a precursor that GOP hopeful and front runner John McCain will witness backlash from some of the conservative voting blocs as he vies for the nomination of the Republican Party.
Limbaugh said that McCain’s rise is due to candidates that are not inspiring along with a party base that is “fractured.”
“There was no figure in our roster of candidates who rose up to challenge him or galvanize conservative support,” Rush Limbaugh said on his daily radio show. He added: “All the candidates on our side, for various reasons, are uninspiring or worse – and so, just as I predicted, the base has fractured.”
So far, John McCain has long had difficulty when appealing to the most conservative members of the GOP. The exit polls conducted in the early primary states reveal that McCain lost consistently among those voters who identified themselves as conservatives.
While McCain has won Florida, the exit polls out of state show that conservative voters went for Mitt Romney.
“He is not the choice of conservatives, as opposed to the choice of the Republican establishment – and that distinction is key,” he continued. Limbaugh added: “The Republican establishment, which has long sough to rid the party of conservative influence since Reagan, is feeling a victory today as well as our friends in the media. But both are just far-fetched and wrong.”
