RUSH: Now, on the Republican side, folks, it is not as clear. Senator McCain is not piling up massive majorities over Governor Huckabee, even though the voters know that Huckabee is no longer a serious candidate. In fact, grab audio sound bite number one.

Folks like Rush Limbaugh, they continue to rail against John...
