On his syndicated radio show Thursday afternoon, conservative host Rush Limbaugh insisted that despite reports of GOP candidate Mitt Romney being down in key swing states, no single person on the anti-Obama “side” will not show up at the polls because of the perceived incompetence of the GOP campaign.

“This election is about stopping Barack Obama,” Limbaugh made clear. “And there’s not one person on our side who will not vote because of the Romney campaign,” he insisted.

“People are going to be showing up to stop Barack Obama,” he said, noting that while many Republican voters may prefer a better nominee, “Romney’s not a bad guy” and is “infinitely preferable” to the current president.

Limbaugh denied the relevance of recent polls showing Romney may be suffering in key swing states, declaring that he is “convinced that more people will are going to be voting to stop this candidate than any poll would ever show.”

He scorned the media for playing up the narrative that Romney’s campaign is incompetent and struggling in the polls. “People are going to show up for two reasons: to beat Obama and to show up the media with these polls.”

“Just don’t get depressed,” he said to his conservative listeners. “You’re not the only one who sees the truth.”
