No media will cover him because he is firmly against big-ticket items on both sides of the political divide. Therefore both parties are wary of his dedicated followers and figure it's safer to just try and ignore him than give him press and risk increasing his small base of supporters.
Roger that, Rogerthat!

(ok, I couldn't resist!!)
Joking aside, I think that it's believed, that he couldn't garner enough followers, to make a difference, regardless. I feel he has some interesting ideas, but as was mentioned, doesn't have the answers at what will develop if those ideas are followed. I still like to listen to him, but I wonder how he could have spawned Rand?
I also believe that it's decided "someplace else" who and what are going to win the nomination. I remember before 2000, I was VERY interested in John McCain, and what he had to say, and what I felt he had to contribute, even though I'm normally voting Democrat. Even Rush was touting John, for a long time, even enough for me to spend time listening to what I consider a verbose windbag. Then, suddenly, overnight, the tide changed direction, and John McCain had leprosy, and everything tied to him was viral. Rush jumped both feet onto the Dubya train, and that was that. Dub was carried into office. I think this world would have been a whole lot different, and better, had it been McCain that won the 2000 election. Regardless, my point is that the direction the party was going, swapped over night.
I'm worried it might happen again, in 2012.
I think we'll know a bit more, tomorrow night, after NY 26th results are in.
