Romney puts ad on Limbaugh show

Posted by Foon Rhee, deputy national political editor February 4, 2008 12:38 PM

It might be preaching to the choir, but the members of this choir are precisely the people Mitt Romney needs to stop John McCain from getting a stranglehold on the Republican nomination on Super Tuesday.

Romney aired an ad today on Rush Limbaugh's radio show that excoriates McCain's record on taxes and immigration.

"John McCain, he's been in Washington a long time," the announcer says, before the ad cites conservative commentators and the National Review.

Limbaugh, while not explicitly endorsing Romney, has been warning his listeners for weeks that McCain's nomination would destroy the Republican Party. He repeated those warnings again today. Romney and McCain have been sparring over who is the true conservative.

  1. I just heard the radio ad and thought it was great!! I think he needs to put this out to the mainstream also because it is very affective with the comments coming from a variety of sources and not just out of Mitts mouth. Great ad! Get it out there more!!
    Vote for Mitt Romney!

  1. I wish Rush had told the truth about McCain even earlier. Also Ingram and Colter. We have to cry "wolf" early if we want to keep the "wolves in sheep's clothing" from getting into the fold. I intend to vote for Mitt Romney, and I know I will never "come around" and vote for McCain if he and Huck manage to team up and kill the chances of the only Conservative candidate.

  1. I wish the conservative talk-show hosts had come out earlier for Romney. Many of us were searching for a candidate and they hesitated, probably waiting for Fred Thompson. Meanwhile, the masses didn't know the difference and voted for the media favorite. By the time my primary came, I was informed enough to go for Romney and even talk him up as much as I could. But if I lived in one of the earlier states, I might not have known. Let's hope he can rally the remaining states!
