Limbaugh: GOP Establishment Is 'Insulated'

Rush Limbaugh was not surprised by Rick Santorum's three-way win Tuesday night, but thinks it's funny—and a bit ridiculous—that the Republican establishment was. "They're literally shocked. The Republican establishment had no idea this was percolating out there. I can't believe how insulated they are," Limbaugh said on his radio show Wednesday. "To look at the reaction they're having today, to see how shocked they are that Rick Santorum has come out of what they thought was an impossible position to nowhere, is an incredible thing." He also mocked the media's suggestion that Limbaugh is influencing they way people vote. "First it was Newt, now it's Santorum. It can't be the candidates. It can't be that Santorum's connecting with voters," he said. "It can't be that, no, no, it can't be that Santorum's resonating with Republican voters, the conservative base. It can't be that the conservative base just isn't happy with Romney."
