Open Letter to Rush Limbaugh
Dear Rush:

For the first time ever I think I’m going to go into the ballot box this November to vote for a third-party candidate for President. I try to convince myself otherwise but I can’t do it. We need an alternative that can ensure that McCain is not elected, and can embarrass the queasy moderates who begat this nomination.

You could and would embarrass McCain by beating him in the popular vote. You would also take substantial fundraising away from McCain and severely limit his ability to get out his message. It would only further enhance your legend status when you returned to the air in November.

What do you have to lose? You’ve got everything in place already and you would only sacrifice three months of air time at the most. In the best case scenario conservatives would flock to you and the supporters of your independent candidacy would use your popular vote victory over McCain as a springboard for redefining and reuniting the Reagan coalition going into 2010 and 2012.

It would be a blast for you. The media would be forced to include you in the debates and you could toy with the MSN moderators, McCain, and Clinton with a recklessness that they would never dare.

Finally and most importantly, a rumble between you and McCain would animate the GOP base and help blunt the damage that a McCain candidacy will surely cause to the Republicans in the Congressional Elections.

Think about it. You could announce two or three weeks before the Republican Convention and take all of the spotlight away from McCain.

The Country is counting on you. You are the only Republican who could make this work to the advantage of the party and the party...And it would be a lot of fun.
