Time Text
Views expressed by the host on this program make more sense than anything anybody else out there happens to be saying because the views expressed by the host on this program are rooted in a daily relentless, unstoppable pursuit of the truth.
Nice to have you with us.
Here's the phone number, 800 282-2882, and the uh the email address is rush at or L Rushbow, rather, L Rushbow at EIBNet.com.
I mentioned at the uh the beginning of the program uh a number of things to explain what happened on the Democrat side in the uh uh polling, the pre-election polling versus the outcome last night.
And I want to repeat a couple things.
I've got this piece by uh the uh poo bah of polling at ABC.
His name is Gary Langer, and one thing that I need to emphasize this was so off the charts wrong.
All of these polls, I think there were a couple of exceptions, but all the big time polls, as you know, had it Obama up by five to ten, some cases twelve points.
Now they got the Republican race fairly close.
They really blew the Democrat side, and these pollsters, you know, their reputations uh are crucial to them.
Uh polling is such a fundamental element of the drive-by media these days, because polling is used to make news.
Polling is used to shape public opinion.
Polling is not a reflection of news.
This is the thing that a lot of people don't understand, but it is not meant to tell you, hey, this is what people are thinking.
The purpose of polls, be it pre-election polls or the Iraq war polls, those polls are being used by the drive-bys as a substitute for news, and the purpose is to shape your thinking and your opinion.
And if they continue to botch these things, nobody's going to pay attention to them.
Now, frankly, I have a fantasy.
Wouldn't it be just fun?
Wouldn't it be fascinating if there were no polls?
No pre-election polls, whatsoever.
Stop and think for a moment.
I know.
But stop and think if every election, primary or general, had no polling in it, and you had no idea what your neighbors were thinking unless you ask them.
But you couldn't talk to everybody in the state.
Like if you lived in New Hampshire, you couldn't talk to everybody to find out what was going to happen.
Uh you you um you couldn't all you could do is talk to your friends and some of your neighbors.
You wouldn't have the slightest idea be totally up to you and what you think.
Not joining the crowd, not opposing the crowd.
Uh it would be totally up to you, and I think it would be fascinating.
It's a fantasy of mine.
It will never happen.
But these pollsters are going to have to get to the bottom of this.
They're going to have to find out what went wrong and cause their polls to be so skewed.
And then they're, and they're going to have to go about this in a purely objective way.
And then if they have guts, they're going to have to tell us what they found.
And I suspect that's where it's going to break down.
I suspect that they'll do their investigation.
They will find out what happened, but they will avoid announcing the details because to do so would skew people's thinking about polls in the future, wondering if it were happening again.
So they will tell us with confidence and assuredness that they have found out what went wrong, but we will not be told what it was.
And we will just have to take their word for it.
Now, what put me on to this was reading this piece by the ABC polling poo bah last night that ABC posted on its own blog, his name is Gary Langer.
And he's covered the beat of public opinion for more than 15 years.
And here's how he began his piece last night.
It was posted just after midnight.
There will be a serious critical look at the final pre-election polls in the Democrat presidential primary in New Hampshire.
That is essential.
It is simply unprecedented for so many polls to have been so wrong.
We need to know why.
But we need to Know it through careful empirically based analysis.
There will be a lot of claims about what happened, about respondents who reputedly lied, about alleged difficulties polling in biracial contests, then that's the only reference to that that he makes about alleged difficulties polling in biracial contests.
Can I explain what he means to you, ladies and gentlemen?
It's called the Wilder effect.
In other places it's called the Bradley effect.
In still other places, it's called the Bradley effect.
In some places it's called a Dinkins effect.
But here's how it works.
You have on a ballot a black candidate and a white candidate.
A pollster calls, asks you who you're going to vote for.
You, in the privacy of your phone call with a polster, not wanting the pollster to think that you're a racist pig, likely would say, I'm voting for the black guy, so as to get the pollster's approval, whether the pollster actually grants it or not.
You know, the tenants of political correctness.
But then, when you go into your polling place, and you go into the uh place behind the curtain, where it's just you and there's no pollster, you vote for the white guy, thereby skewing the results of the pre-election poll.
Now, I would I would also like to uh add to this hypothesis what I would call the reverse Wilder effect.
Wilder, by the way, being Doug Wilder of uh the governor of Virginia, who was black, and about whom it was first postulated Tom Bradley, the mayor of Los Angeles, running for governor out there, and uh and uh General Dinkins.
Now, keep in mind all these guys are Democrats, and you're dealing with Democrats being called by the pollsters.
Uh so if you call up your Democrat and say, hi, I'm from the ABC polling unit, who are you gonna agree to vote for?
I'm voting a black guy, I'm a good American.
I'm not racist, I'm voting a black guy.
I am an open-minded.
It's time for a change in this.
Oh, good, I'll put it down.
You go to the ballot box, you vote the white guy, when nobody can see what you're doing, and nobody will know what you're doing.
But Iowa, the Hawkeye cockeye.
You go into somebody's house, you go into some gymnasium, some school cafeteria, and you get all your friends knowing what you're doing.
You have all your friends watching what you're doing.
And so when it comes time to vote in the Hawkeye Cockye, in order on the Democrat side, in order that your friends don't think you a racist.
You vote Obama.
Because you can't vote in private in the Hawkeye Cockeye.
This would be the reverse Wilder effect.
And so, who knows if we got an accurate result out of Iowa?
You know, this is I I mention all this because again, we're talking Democrats, we're talking Democrats who are immersed in political correctness, and who live and die based on what people think of them.
And the voting place, the voting booth is the only place nobody will know what you've done unless you tell them.
So there's no worry what people will think of you.
But in a Hawkeye cauckeye, when everybody can hear what you say or can read what you vote or can hear you advocating or whatever, well, you might have skewed Obama's big victory in Iowa.
Who, I mean, who knows?
Then you get on to New Hampshire, and of course, the Obama effect here, or the Wilder effect in full force, in the sense that time to go vote, you do so in private, you've told the pollsters, Obama, Obama, I'm caught up in the Obama wave coming out of Iowa and so forth.
But then you get into the voting booth, screw it, I'm voting Hillary.
You couple that with who knows what other kinds of shenanigans went on with people first time voting in New Hampshire yesterday.
There's I don't know if there's a way of finding that out, but it's probably uh not difficult to do if they if they were to release those kinds of statistics.
Yeah, but that did it happen.
A Secretary of State said yesterday, and of course, this is uh the day before, said before the uh ballots supposedly ran out.
But the New Hampshire Secretary of State said they're expecting record numbers of first-time voters.
Which means out of state people.
And it's not illegal in New Hampshire as we have uh documented.
Regardless what happened.
Polsters are going to have to find out for their own good, for their own understanding.
Uh I heard some pollsters last night saying, well, you know what?
We've got a problem with our models.
Uh we haven't found a way to calculate this massive turnout that's surprising everybody.
Meaning we haven't figured out a way to go into Massachusetts and Vermont and ask people there how they're going to vote in the New Hampshire primary.
The Spencer Davis group.
Give me, give me, give me some good loving.
And don't charge me.
Okay.
Took them a while on the other side of the glass.
You want to hear the you want to hear.
I mean, this is this is the epitome.
This is this is all you need to hear.
It's a montage once again of the drive-bys, all using the same word to describe Obama.
This was during Monday and Tuesday.
It's a montage of Anderson Cooper of uh Anderson Cooper's 180, Andrea Mitchell on MSNBC Scarborough, uh, Rachel Sklar of the um of the uh Huffing and Puffington Post.
Uh just a bunch of these people.
Bob Beckle, Russert, Brian Williams, Steve McMahon talking about Obama.
This is this is before the results came in last night.
This is on Monday and Tuesday.
He's no longer a candidate, he's a movement.
A movement that seems to be Barack Obama.
The generational movement.
You know, Obama as a movement.
This is a movement out there.
The center of his movement.
This is a serious movement in American politics.
It's more of a movement right now.
The start of a movement.
Turn a moment into a movement.
The sense that this is a movement.
Barack Obama is not just a candidate anymore, he's a movement.
It's amazing how this happens.
They all end up with the same word, be it gravitas or now movement.
I thought the writers were on strike.
I really do I thought I thought, but maybe the writers have gone back to work for the news writers, or for the newscasters.
Drag by people.
Let me.
Let me repeat.
Yeah, maybe just one writer is back.
That's what happened.
That's gotta be it.
There's just one writer working.
There is no movement.
Obama got creamed.
Well, I think it creamed, but I mean it uh it wasn't an upset.
Hillary was forecast to win this thing way back when.
The only thing making it an upset is because the pre-election polls that were wrong.
There was no upset.
McCain was not an upset.
McCain was going to win New Hampshire all along, as was Hillary.
Not only is is Obama not a movement, neither of these two elections are about momentum, folks.
These are not momentum elections.
These are this is the there's one objective in these primaries, and that's to amass the most delegates at the end of the primary process so that you win the nomination.
Uh you've got very close contests, you got battles in state after state, where the goal is what?
To win delegates to the convention.
And now they're still out there, they're compounding their horrible mistakes in the past two days.
Now, if Romney doesn't win Michigan, he's done.
They said Romney be done if he lost New Hampshire.
Maybe, maybe not.
But how can anybody say so at the beginning of the process, which is this is Romney has most of the delegates.
You ought to see that you want to hear the delegate count right now in the Democrat side, Obama 25, Clinton 24, Edwards 18.
On the Republican side, Romney 24, Huckabee 18, McCain 10.
Now that's what it is about.
You know, and some of these states are not winner take all.
And so, you know, Romney's being written off simply because he's won Wyoming and come in second in these uh in these other two states.
Uh he's got a bunch of superdelegates, too.
This is not by no means over, and it's by no means over on the Democrat side.
But this is not about momentum on either parties.
If it was about momentum, Obama would have continued his role.
But there was no momentum coming out of Iowa.
Duh, and there and there is no movement, is there?
You got two totally different states with two totally different procedures, and that's all there's been.
And yet these irresponsible people in the media, these pundits on both sides, folks.
I mean, our guys, other side, continuing to compound their errors today.
Yeah, if Romney doesn't do well in Michigan, well, he's done.
Wait a minute, you guys got through telling us that about New Hampshire.
It really, in one sense, it's frustrating.
On the other hand, I urge him to keep up because it makes it easier and easier for me to be unique and right by simply practicing a little restraint.
Uh, let's see.
Oh.
You may have read about this, you may have even heard about this.
On Monday, on the campaign trail in New Hampshire, Brian Williams of NBC and NBC's Lee Cowan have this exchange.
This only aired on the internet.
Brian Williams says, What have you noticed since Iowa about Obama?
About the campaign and about the Clintons.
From the reporter's point of view, it's almost hard to remain objective because the it's infectious.
I think that's it's goes against your core to say that as a reporter, but you the crowds have gotten so much bigger.
Crowds have gotten bigger.
Uh Lee Cowell admits he's in love with Obama.
Uh, that they all feel like that when covering uh Democrats, but he's not dumb enough to admit it.
Uh they marveled this way over Bill Clinton, and marveled this way for a while over Hillary Clinton.
Uh and then Joe Klein, this is MSNBC Live yesterday on uh Scarborough show.
He spoke with Joe Klein of Time Magazine about Obama.
Scarborough said, uh, you know, you wrote a fascinating blog.
Tell the world about it so they can go to your blog.
In his spare time during the last week, Barack Obama has been trying to negotiate a peace settlement in Kenya.
Are you serious?
It is unbelievable.
He's been in touch with both sides in the uh in the confrontation.
He's been in touch with Bishop Desmond Tutu, who has gone to Nairobi uh to try and broker a deal, and he's been doing this in between rallies.
It's kind of amazing, but also it's an insight into the kind of president he's gonna be.
This is before the vote came in.
Yes, this is Joe Klein president, he's gonna be.
Yep, that kind of president is gonna be.
He's out there, he's out there in the midst of the New Hampshire primary.
He's trying to negotiate a peace deal in Kenya.
He should have spent more time focusing on a peace deal in New Hampshire, involving him.
Um Barack, you gotta be, you better hope the media sours on you.
In fact, what is going to happen here?
This is an interesting thing to the drive-by's have been humiliated now.
They've been humiliated by the this outcome.
You I you just hurt now, they may not know it.
They may not admit it, but I'm telling you, this is the elephant in a room.
They may not be addressed.
They're talking about it among themselves.
I mean, I'll be talking about it on the radio and TV so much.
But they were embarrassed.
They had this at five to ten to twelve points for Obama, and look what happened.
None of them were right, folks.
Zilch, uh, zero nada.
Now, somebody's gonna pay for this, and it won't be them.
I mean, the big loser last night was a drive-by media, but they have yet to concede.
And they won't concede.
Who is going to pay for this?
Will there now be a backlash against Obama?
Will the drive-bys think in order to get their credibility back, they gotta start getting tough on this guy and stop all this sophistry of peace deals in Kenya.
And I can't help it.
I get caught up in the emotion.
This is a wonderful happy JFK all over RFK too.
Or are they gonna get mad at Hillary?
Because Hillary made them look better.
Who knows?
But they don't sit around and practice objectivity.
Somebody's gonna pay for this, and it ain't gonna be me this time.
A man, a living legend, a national treasure, and all around good guy, combined as one harmless, lovable little fuzzball here on the EIB network.
You see, no, everybody moaning and whining that the golden globes have been canceled.
Oh, yeah, but uh the was they're whining that it won't be any big award show, that there won't be any big parties out there, the limo drivers a thousand bucks a day, not gonna have any jobs, uh all a caterers, nothing going on, nothing to do, just horrible.
Um it's it's actually there's a there's a there's a bonus here that nobody's thinking about.
And that is no social preening on the uh part of the award winners as they go up to make their acceptance speeches.
We're not gonna have to listen to Golden Globe winners pontificate on uh on politics as they accept uh as they accept their awards.
And I think it's probably good news for the environment.
Um, at least award shows have an incredible carbon footprint uh that probably is not offset.
You know, not a few limos driving around.
Caterers not having to fire up the kitchens, uh hotels with not full occupancy.
It's a good thing for the environment, particularly out in California.
Jim and Atlanta, I'm glad you waited, sir.
Welcome to the uh EIB network.
Thank you, Rush.
Well, listen, I think you may be on to something about this Hillary and her tears.
Last year, Peggy Noonan wrote an article and said that Hillary people know Hillary can be a man.
What they don't know is that she can be a woman.
And I kind of scratched my head on that.
And then she had her little Oprah moment with the tears, and I thought, ah, there you go.
I I bet that's it.
She's having her she's showing people she can be a woman.
You know, I remember that.
Um did Peggy say did Peggy say we know she can be a man.
Yes.
But we don't know if she can be a woman, or was it Versa Visa?
No, I I think that you had it right the first time.
She we know she can be a woman.
Okay, well, yeah, okay, then so that's what Snerdley was getting mad at me about today.
So how how come, you know, because I was making a big deal that this there were two things actually three.
It wasn't just the tears or the the crocodile tears.
It was in the debate when he was uh she was asked by this uh local reporter up there, what do you feel like when you hear that so many people dislike you?
She said it hurts my feelings.
And and but but she did it in a likable way.
She didn't she didn't, you know, she didn't do it uh typical Hillary way, and then those guys running around saying iron my shirt.
See, the th the the thing that the the thing I think that people don't understand about it when you're talking about for the most part liberal women, I'm not trying to generalize all women, because women who are engaged and and and thoughtful are not gonna get caught up in this in this kind of stuff.
Like Peggy.
Yeah, exactly.
But but the the the women that have grown up, you know, loving Oprah, uh uh the oprification and uh, you know, crying about things and getting emotional and it's more important that women who have grown up feeling victimized uh can relate to this.
It's just not fair that Hillary had to cry.
That somebody's being too mean.
The biggest see the biggest thing for women here is not that Hillary is a woman.
It's the comeback thing.
Victimized women, women who think that they're victims or still suffer from this notion that the world's stacked against them in business and politics, love validation, they love vindication, they love revenge, and they and sadly, they love screw you, mister.
They they just I'm telling you, they do.
Well, I tell you, there's something else picking up on that note in I believe the same article where that Noonan said that when a woman gets angry or uh eating to the point of getting strident, there are women on either side of the aisle who can to some degree understand or even empathize with her because they can look back on the slights they have suffered from men.
Now, this is coming from Peggy Noonan, fairly conservative individual.
Yep.
And I thought I kind of thought it a little more on that.
I thought, ouch.
Now that means we better at very least uh look at we I spent a lot of time on this in the first hour and I know that's what you're you're calling to to reference.
But I think people who ignore this say what I'm trying to do here is give you some analysis, folks, that you're not going to find in a drive by all packed up on the conventional wisdom bandwagon and heading down the track.
They're all saying the same thing.
Now some of them are focused on the tears or the crying.
But it it the why is what's important and the fact that it goes beyond that.
Um, another thing.
She says she said last night her acceptance speech, I found my voice.
And other Democrats and and women with all of her television.
She f she she she was human.
It was it was a human moment.
Uh and that's what you, by quoting Peggy mean when you say we know she can act like a man, uh, but can't she be a woman and so forth.
Uh and Snerdley got really mad at me early in the program.
What do you mean?
Falling for this human moment.
Why?
She's 60 years old.
I said, Snerdley, you're missing the point.
Nobody's talking about what's right or wrong here.
We're talking about perceptions, and we're talking about attitudes that people have, particularly left-wing women.
And I'm telling you, if you have for all of your public life been perceived as nurse ratchet, and in ten seconds become the opposite, that is a huge achievement.
They get the monkey of the nurse ratchet off your back inside of ten seconds.
Uh, with a question from a woman.
How do you do it?
How do you get up every day?
How do you do your hair?
How do you keep on how do you do this?
And and Hillary chokes up and says she's doing it for all of us.
Not for her.
Uh and by the way, what do most women do in their lives?
They do everything for their kids.
Uh it I'm telling you this stuff resonates.
This is it has nothing to do with chick loyalty.
Has nothing to do with women supporting her because she's a woman.
It it has to do with the identification of the trials and the tribulations that she has gone through.
And the fact that she finally broke or appeared to, and then recovered, and came back and kicked the pants off Obama and all these people and had her buried and gone.
Women love that.
The glorious dynam, the Jane Fonda, the left wing, but they love that vindication.
Screw you, mister.
Trust me on this, folks.
Been there, lived it, not loved it, but lived it.
Uh Gary in Charlotte, North Carolina, welcome to the EIB network.
Hello.
Hey, Scrush, how are you doing?
Fine, sir.
Thank you.
It's taken me 18 years to get through.
Well, congratulations to you, sir.
Thank you.
I just want to say a lot of my brother Vinny and Whitestone Queens and my cousin, Valerie and Frank and San Diego.
They listen in all the time.
I hope they're listening right now.
I hope so, too.
All right.
Thank you.
Okay.
Uh this whole thing with the polls.
I think they were fixed.
They wanted to like you say, they want to make big news.
They want to make her look like the big comeback kid of the century.
I think it's all a bunch of barber stri sand, okay?
And that's my opinion.
And uh on that the thing when she did her crying jab.
I think if you notice quickly, all in her uh cheekbones, you could see how much makeup she was wearing that it was actually cracking when she was talking.
Now now now, see, this is exactly what I'm talking about.
This you are creating sympathy among people, among women who don't even like her.
I know.
Well, you gotta stop this.
You know, you're out there, she knows weren't tears or makeup cracked.
Well, you can't say you can say it, but I'm saying there's gonna be a price.
You're you're gonna have women who don't even like her going, my God, this poor woman doesn't even have a chance.
These guys, these Neanderthals making fun of her makeup cracking.
Yeah, I know.
Also, uh, even if she doesn't, if God forbid, save the country, she should happen to win.
The only thing is she's gonna have a problem getting an inaugural gown.
Who's gonna make a lumberjack plaid jumpsuit?
You know, pants suit.
Uh uh inaugural gown, who's gonna make a uh lumberjack plaid pantsuit with uh with Timberland boots.
Why what what uh missing here?
Why do you think she'd wear a lumberjack plow suit for the inauguration?
Well, that's what most non uh real women wear, don't they?
In a certain I I I'm lost here.
Uh I've don't get this lumberjack business.
It could be my hearing, maybe I'm not here.
I'm hearing this right.
Most non real women, you're talking about pants suits.
You're throwing in a lumberjack thing here just to be funny.
But this is what I mean, folks.
Don't try this on the phone.
Don't you know leave leave this to the professionals.
The highly trained broadcast specialists.
Don't try it unless you have a writer.
And even then, run it by somebody first.
As to the pollsters being in on the fix, uh, too many of them got it wrong, particularly on our side, too.
Uh Frank Lund said it wrong.
Frank Frank Lunt's not going to sit there and participate in some notion of you know, create this big comeback for uh for Hillary.
So I don't think uh I don't think that's that's at work here.
Um in fact, I look, I'm gonna repeat this again.
I I think in the Clinton camp, the Democrat side, and a lot of you are going to disagree with me on this, but I warn you not to.
I'm telling you that despite all the happiness that you saw or you thought you saw emanating from New Hampshire last night, the Democrat Party right now is in a bit of chaos.
And it's again now this is crucial that I explain this properly so that you don't misunderstand me.
I am talking about their attitudes here.
I'm not talking about what is.
I'm talking about the way they think.
And to understand what I'm going to say, you have to understand that liberals look at conservatives, and they see a walking stereotype of racist, sexist, bigot, homophobe, uh hayseed Christian with a gun and a gun rack in a back of a pickup, getting to the church on Saturday night to get a head start and everybody's Sunday morning.
That's what they see.
Who are their two leading nominees?
A black guy and a female, both unprecedented in terms of having been elected president.
The Democrats today are not about what they are for.
This is not what this campaign's about.
That's why you're hearing lofty platitudinous speeches about change, and I'm the new JFK, I'm the new RFK, I'm the new Martin Luther King.
They're conjuring up images.
This is not about specifics.
They get in talking about health care and all this, but that all those are emotional plays.
What the Democrats are in chaos about what they're afraid of is that they think when they lose elections, it's because we have been able to turn out more racists and sexists and bigots to screw them at the election ballot box.
And their big concern here is whether it's Hillary or Obama.
They are worried how to inoculate both candidates from what they think will be the racist and or sexist campaign.
They think they're vulnerable because what I'm telling you is they're in chaos because they think they are vulnerable.
Because they have nominated or well, they're in a nomination race considers consists of a black guy and a female.
And they think we're going to go after either one on racist or sexist ways, and that we can succeed.
And so they're trying to come up with ways to blunt that rather than express what they are for.
Now, I got I'm over time here on this segment.
I've got to go to a break.
But I mean this.
Uh I I know this is where their heads at.
This is how they think.
These are the cle the cliched stereotypes that they look at Republicans at.
Just like they look at D Bold uh or manufacturers of voting machines with a with a cliched stereotype that it's owned by Republicans and they're out to be screwed.
They believe this stuff.
And so it animates them.
And it causes them to uh uh implement various strategies in their election strategy, and that's where they're at right now.
Make no bones about it.
You heard it here.
Uh a couple more audio sound bites here.
Uh ladies and gentlemen, this is Barack Obama last night in Nashua, New Hampshire, at a post-election event, uh at which he conceded the New Hampshire primary to Senator Clinton.
We have two sound bites.
Here's the first.
It was whispered by Slaves and abolitionists as they blazed a trail towards freedom through the darkest of nights.
Yes, we can.
It was sung by immigrants as they struck up from distant shores and pioneers who pushed westwards against an unforgiving wilderness.
Yes, we can.
It was the call of workers who organized, women who reached for the ballot, a president who chose the moon as our new frontier, and a king who took us to the mountaintop and pointed the way to the promised land.
Yes, we can to justice and equality.
Thank you, man!
Yes, we can to opportunity and prosperity.
Yes, we can heal this nation.
Yes, we can repair this world.
Yes, we can.
What did he say?
He said absolutely nothing.
And but he did it so well I know, but he said absolutely nothing.
And this is this is why I say to you that the outcome of all this is based not on what they are for, but what they are scared, they believe we can exploit.
Because they think we're racist and sexists.
So here's Obama making it known that he is down for the struggle in South Carolina.
He is down for the struggle.
And in Michigan, he is down for the struggle.
Uh what was it?
Slogan is um, yes, we can.
And Clinton Inc.
finishes it off by saying, take him out.
So it you got Obama saying, yes, we can, and over Clinton Inc.
They're saying, take him out.
And when you combine the two, what do you get?
We can take him out.
Yes, we can take him out.
Here's the second Obama bite.
Tomorrow, as we take the campaign South and West, as we learn that the struggles of the textile workers in Spartanburg are not so different than the plight of the dishwasher in Las Vegas, that the hopes of the little girl who goes to the crumbling school in Dillon are the same as the dreams of the boy who learns on the streets of LA.
We will remember that there is something happening in America, that we are not as divided as our politics suggests, that we are one people, we are one nation, and together we will begin the next great chapter in the American story with three words that will ring from coast to coast from sea to shining sea.
Yes, we can.
Thank you, New Hampshire.
Thank you.
And once again, more platitudinous stuff sounds really good.
Some might say it's inspirational, but it's nothing.
There's nothing there.
I'm looking, I'm, folks.
I don't, this is not personal between me and Obama.
I'm just telling you, I'm I analyze this stuff like everybody else.
There's nothing there.
This.
Oh, there's hope.
Okay, there's hope there.
Because this is aimed at who then.
It's aimed at the people wandering aimlessly through life.
This is this is it's just, it's just.
I don't know.
I'd love to run against it.
I'd love to run against it.
But we're gonna run against Hillary probably, and that'll be fun too.
So remember this, folks.
The Democrat machine candidate always wins.
The upstart insurgents never do.
Bill Bradley in 2000, Howard Dean, 2004, the upstart insurgent here is Obama, the machine candidate is Hillary.
That's all you need to know.
Forget all these polls.
See you tomorrow.
