It's just smart politics to paint Rush as the head of the Republican party. He has an 11% positive rating among those under 40, has more baggage than Zha Zha Gabor, and incites fear among Republican politicians who disagree with him... hell, they even grovel for forgiveness in public!
The black garb, the sweating profusely (is he back on Oxycontin?), the anger... this guy is beautiful to the Dems.
Even Reagan would not have been elected with today's demographics... by all means, let the Great Rushbo keep speaking! I'd bet Dem strategists would gladly see Limbaugh's radio audience swell by 50% if he could be permanently imprinted as the Republican god.
