Tom: “Don’t pick a fight with someone who talks to 12 million people for 3 hours every day, and has 20 years of practice in fielding calls and answering them on the fly.”

No, do pick a fight with a racist hatemonger who is beloved by 12 million hare core right-wingers but despised by the other hundreds of millions of Americans. Let Limbaugh trumpet that he is the party leader, the intellectual center of the conservative movement, and watch the moderate Republicans continue to jump your sinking ship in droves. 12 million Limbaugh listeners is not enough to win elections.
