I keep hearing that Limbaugh and his ilk are harmful to the GOP because they alienate voters in the center. I'd love to see that thesis tested -- after Lowden wins her primary, I suppose Harry Reid should use this photo the way Barack Obama used the McCain-Bush hug photo. But I suspect it wouldn't have any effect, because far too many voters in the center just shrug off the extremism of Limbaugh and his soul mates on the right, or assume what they say and do is just harmless, or are persuaded by their wingnut neighbors at backyard barbecues that a lot of what these guys say really makes sense. And so true pariah status outside the base is a long, long way off for Limbaugh et al., and Lowden is free to run this ad without having to worry that it will come back to haunt her.
