Don\u2019s in San Antonio as we start on the phones today. Nice to have you with us, sir. Welcome to Open Line Friday.<\/p>\n<p>CALLER: Rush, second-time in a long time, my man.<\/p>\n<p>RUSH: I appreciate that.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/live-rush-limbaugh.pantheonsite.io\/wp-content\/uploads\/01125111.Par.89380.ImageFile.jpg\" width=\"200\" height=\"399\" class=\"alignright\"\/>CALLER: Lookie here, I as a Huckabee supporter would like to apologize for you for all the other Huckabee supporters who happened to call you and call you a liar and everything. I thought one of the most brilliant dialogues that you had done in a while, was when you explained the very different types of conservatives that are found in America, and I think it opened the eyes of a lot of people. It helped me to see that, guess what? I\u2019m a social conservative. That\u2019s just how I am.<\/p>\n<p>RUSH: Yeah.<\/p>\n<p>CALLER: And with that being said, I would like to know &#8212; and we\u2019ll put a little caveat on this since you love golf like I do &#8212; do you think Huckabee can make a run like Tiger did in his match play from last week?<\/p>\n<p>RUSH: And win the nomination?<\/p>\n<p>CALLER: Yes.<\/p>\n<p>RUSH: No.<\/p>\n<p>CALLER: Somehow, some way.<\/p>\n<p>RUSH: I think it\u2019s too late. The delegate math just works totally against Governor Huckabee.<\/p>\n<p>CALLER: I got you. I got you.<\/p>\n<p>RUSH: Plus the money. You know, Huckabee has to be at the point now that he\u2019s asking for scandal stories on himself. After the McCain scandal story, Huckabee said, &#8216;Why not me? Would the New York Times do a scandal story on me?\u2019 <\/p>\n<p>CALLER: (laughing)<\/p>\n<p>RUSH: (laughing) Huckabee has his supporters still, and he\u2019s staying in this for his own reasons that I think have to do with having some say-so at the convention on things and maybe forging a path for future electoral office. Some people are starting to urge him to run for the Senate from Arkansas. I\u2019m glad you saw the light out there. I\u2019m glad I was helpful in illuminating the light for you &#8212; and thank God you could still use an incandescent because if you had to use a compact fluorescent, the light from those things is pretty harsh, and it might have looked ugly what I had said to you had you had compact fluorescents. So God bless you, sir. God bless you. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>RUSH: Here\u2019s Don. Don\u2019s in San Antonio as we start on the phones today.
