"As scary as this may sound… Glenn Beck might actually have more power than anybody else representing the republican party. Glenn Beck has a following that is a cross between Rush Limbaugh supporters and Ron Paul supporters, something that has much more power than what the left has seen before. These people are upset, and they know how to successfully handle things in a grassroots fashion."

Has Glenn Beck replaced Rush Limbaugh as titular head of the Republican party?
"It would seem that Beck has stolen the crown from Limbaugh. Just a few short months ago, Limbaugh was widely known as the man behind the strings of elected officials in the Republican party but it seems that he has now been replaced by another entertainer...The Republican party is desperate and now they seem to have chosen a leader even more unconscionable than Rush Limbaugh. If Rush Limbaugh was like the Tony Soprano of the the GOP, Glenn Beck is more like the Michael Scott of the GOP. Beck weeps and laughs and cajoles and makes analogies that are incomprehensible"
