Rush Limbaugh casts his lot with the "outside-the-box, not formulaic" move Sarah Palin made.
Note how many times he repeats Palin's theme of choice: that quitting is a blow against politics as usual.
That's certainly right. Quitting in your first term is definitely not politics as usual.
Rush (ea):
"I don't think this precludes her running for office down the road, the Presidency, in 2012, at all. I think these people saying she's an instant target because she quit is just inside the beltway formulaic. And she's not that.
If anything, this woman's M.O. is outside-the-box, not formulaic, so until we know what this is all about, I think it's just everybody being the smartest person in the room.... all I know she is going to continue to fire up people.
.... it boils down to this. When you have so many establishment types, inside the beltway, establishment, elitist types.... just so eager to destroy this woman, it means they're still scared to death of her, and that to me, is the bottom line, and I'm living proof that if you do things outside of the box.... you don't have to be part of a formula."
