So, after the open I go to the e-mail, my private e-mail box, people that know me: &#8220;You\u2019re wrong. A long campaign hurts. This is what you ought to be saying.&#8221;  So I promptly set up a mail rule to delete that stuff.  It\u2019s a New Yorker, so it\u2019s typical New York Times panic and fear.  I\u2019m telling you, folks, don\u2019t prejudge this electability question, and I am not telling you I am supporting Newt Gingrich.  I\u2019m not supporting anybody.  I am supporting conservatism.  I\u2019m supporting the truth about Barack Obama coming out.  I would much rather hear about Barack Obama, &#8220;He\u2019s a Saul Alinsky radical,&#8221; than I would hear, &#8220;He\u2019s in over his head.&#8221;  <\/line><img id=\"eZObject_58405\" class=\"aligncenter\" align=\"middle\" src=\"https:\/\/live-rush-limbaugh.pantheonsite.io\/wp-content\/uploads\/ROmney9_16.jpg\"\/><BR\/>He\u2019s not in over his head.  He\u2019s not incompetent.  That\u2019s how Romney and the base want Obama discussed. <\/line><\/p>\n<p>Our people don\u2019t think he\u2019s a hapless, unlucky, in-over-his-head incompetent stumbling through life making the wrong decisions.  They think he\u2019s on a mission to transform this country in a way that it won\u2019t be like anything we\u2019ve ever seen since it was founded.  They want somebody who sees that about Obama and is as oriented to saving the country as they are.  The Republican establishment doesn\u2019t have that candidate.  They just do not have that candidate.  If they\u2019ve got that candidate, that candidate\u2019s not willing to say so.  When these party elites start talking about electability, they\u2019re talking about their own electability.  How did it ever get written &#8212; and this is not a slam on Romney, I don\u2019t want anybody misunderstanding this.  I\u2019m talking about the Republican establishment. <\/p>\n<p>From the get-go, the reason to support Romney is that he\u2019s the guy that can beat Obama.  Mitt Romney is 9-16 in his electoral career.  He\u2019s nine out of 25.  That\u2019s Mr. Electability?  I don\u2019t understand.  I just think the process is gonna take care of itself.  It\u2019s designed to be long and drawn out so that all the flaws and the positive elements of people finally end up being fully on display with as few questions as possible.  Romney could still end up being the conservative nominee to himself if he gets it.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>RUSH: You want to know what my job\u2019s like, in part?
