But he concedes that McCain is going to run as "the Conservative" and McCain is a moderate.... so yes, even Limbaugh sees that the penduluum is swinging.
He is all about "Bush saving his approval ratings getting them up and going back to Crawford with a 65 approval rating".
This will definately be a very interesting 2 years. My true hope is that there is less confrontation, more compromise and that the parties listen to the people and give the people what they want without positioning for power.

Fair enough, as the one actually listen to Limbaugh here I have to defer to you on this one.
I think Limbaugh is mincing words the same way we are in our discussion of left and center. I am hoping this won't become the Repub party-line though. I mean, as a Democrat if that's how they want to play it then fine, we'll be happy campers in '08. But there's a reason Limbaugh is a conservative radio icon and not a politician; because he lives in his own little world and it makes some people happy to hear it. He's just reassuring his listeners and that's all fine and well, but if they take it to heart then they'll pay in 2 years.
