I and many others have been watching the candidates to see who can unify a fractured coalition, energize the party and resuscitate Reagan’s stool. In light of this quest it is interesting to see where the leading conservative opinion makers are lining up and what this portends for each candidate:
Rudy: Sean Hannity, JPod, (potentially Rush Limbaugh) Roger Ailes, Bill O’Reilly, John Gibson, Ollie North
Mitt: Hue Hewitt, Katherine Lopez, Peggy Noonan, Glen Beck, (potentially Dobson), Malkin, Coulter
Fred: Erik Erickson and Redstate, Jonah Goldberg, Free Republic, Gamecock, Neil Bortz, G. Gordon Liddy
McCain: Bill Kristol, Charles Krauthammer, Tucker Carlson
Huckabee: Chuck Colson, Chuck Norris, Garry Bauer, Michael Medved

1st of all, is Chuck Norris really a leading conservative opinion maker?
Last I read Glenn Beck actually said Rudy is his guy
A bunch of people you listed have had good things to say about a bunch of candidates.
Rush is the one guy who could have the most impact if he endorsed someone. Perhaps Nancy. But I don’t know if he will. From a ratings standpoint, Rush probably does better if Hillary wins.
I don’t think too many of them have flat out endorsed someone.
And even if they have, the vast majority will suppport whoever ends up winning.
Also, you might have a more artful way of phrasing than Reagan’s stool. I had images of an old man and things I don’t even want to imagine.

Last I heard from Glenn Beck ( which was a couple weeks ago) he was backing was talking about a ” gun to the head poll” where he says who he would pick if gun was to his head, apparently the previous week or so he had picked Rudy, but at that time he was thinking he might go for Romney. So basically he’s going back and forth.

Thanks for the feed back jim. This is by no means a omprehensive list and if anything was simply meant to indicate where a particular conservative personality leans at the moment. I didn’t know that about Glenn Beck — I had heard that he was swinging towards Mitt but I will make the change. Yes, Chuck Norris was just a fun addition, and most of these “endorsments” official or unofficial probably won’t sway too many voters. And that should have read ‘Reagan’s three-legged stool.’
I did also leave out George Will who seems to be getting behind Rudy. I don’t know where Fred Barnes and Michael Savage are leaning but maybe someone will know.
