It seems radio host and political powerhouse Rush Limbaugh wasn’t too happy about John McCain’s win in Florida. Limbaugh gave a “non-concession” speech in which he refuted the media idea that conservatives like him are on “the demise”.

“All the candidates on our side, for various reasons, are uninspiring or worse and so just as I predicted the base has fractured. Some going here. Some going there.”

Is this a sign of overall and potentially growing conservative hostility toward McCain.

“Senator McCain has been able to cobble together enough votes to win in a few states. Fine. He deserves credit for that. But to pretend that Senator McCain is the choice of conservatives when exit poll data from every primary state show just the opposite–he is not the choice of conservatives as opposed to the Republican establishment, and that distinction is key,” the conservative talker said. “The Republican establishment, which has long sought 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.”
