Can McCain win without Limbaugh?
Neither candidate nor host appears ready to make up

Limbaugh said of McCain, "Here we're going to have a guy, if he's elected, who has made a practice of getting things done, not by reaching across the aisle, but walking across the aisle and sitting down with the Democrats. He is who he is. And so it looks like we're going to get a Democrat agenda regardless of who wins the presidency."
Tucker Carlson also noticed McCain's reticence to come on Limbaugh's show and offered McCain this advice: "Wouldn't it just be easier to fly down to Palm Beach and take Rush Limbaugh out to dinner and slobber all over him? Why not suck up to Rush Limbaugh?"
Does this sound familiar?
McCain also has faced criticism from Letterman, who blasted him for canceling an appearance and said of his choice to temporarily suspend his campaign, "This doesn't smell right, because this is not the way a tested hero behaves."
McCain has also spurned overtures from radio talk host and Fox News star Bill O'Reilly, who was able to get Barack Obama to sit down with him for a multi-part interview on his TV show. No. 3 political talk host Michael Savage, who had supported McCain when he won the nomination, has also been rebuffed by the Republican presidential candidate's campaign. Savage has since turned harshly critical of McCain's campaign.
Mark McKinnon, a top McCain adviser, told the Post he finds the criticism from Limbaugh and the other hosts "frustrating," saying: "Our question is, 'Isn't it better to get behind a Republican you may disagree with from time to time than work for an outcome that puts a Democrat in the White House with whom you will disagree all of the time?'"
Addressing Limbaugh specifically he added, "We don't expect Rush to fall in line. We know he's an independent guy, just like McCain. And we know he and McCain will continue to have differences, and we respect those differences."
