Time Text
Welcome to today's edition of the Rush 24-7 Podcast.
And greetings to you, thrill seekers, music lovers, those of you all pumped up all across the fruited plane.
Time for broadcast excellence.
Three hours straight ahead.
Here from the Limbaugh Institute for Advanced Conservative Studies.
As always, it's great to be with you.
Telephone number 800-282-2882.
And the email address is L Rushbow at EIB net com.
So uh let me see if I understand this, uh, ladies and gentlemen.
Joe Biden over the weekend wanted to know when Sarah Palin's gonna go on a news talk show.
This would be Obama's running mate here.
Uh Obama himself, of course, refusing to appear at every single one-on-one town hall debate proposed by McCain.
Barack Obama refusing to show up there has his vice president wing thing and tang.
And uh ABC, Charles Gibson, is going to spend two days with Sarah Palin, doing a profile in Alaska, and the politico is reporting that ABC is hunkering down as a news organization should, uh, trying to research the toughest questions they can.
Not gotcha questions, not trick questions, but tough questions uh on policy and so forth.
People have seen Sarah Palin in debates, they have seen her interviewed every time since the moment this announcement of her candidacy has been made, since it was made, every time the Libs and their cohorts in the media thought that they had her nailed to the wall as an incompetent, inexperienced it get date.
I mean, they she rams it right back down them, right down their throats.
This is going to be no different.
And and it's it's it's funny now the desperation that the left has arrived at.
Their guy has lost his lead in the polls.
Their guy cannot speak extemporaneously, their guy has lost his mojo.
This guy has lost everything that he had.
I'm talking about Obama.
Uh is it's it's the so that the blogs, the kook fringe blogs, have just mounted some of the most ridiculous charges against Sarah Palin, so much so that multiple fact-checking organizations have have just they have put the lie to every one of them.
Not one of these outrageous charges, banning books, opposing contraception, all this sort of sort of stuff.
Not one of them is true.
Kirsten Powers, who is a liberal media babe.
She appears on Fox, she writes in the New York Post, is fed up with it.
She has a column today in which she just ros and uh the the attack that the Democrats are taking and rips them for the mistake that they made her title of her piece is How Obama Blew It.
I mean, even Newsweek gotten into the act of fact-checking all these lies.
And where do these lies start?
These lies start in the kook fringe of the left-wing blogosphere, and they got out there because the drive-by's just accepted it and ran with it, which is all redounding to our benefit, by the way.
So much of this is just going as well as it could be expected to go, because so many truths are being revealed to a wider, wider audience, ladies and fact.
The uh the polling question we've we've got now from Gallup, uh McCain up 15 points among independents.
Now, this is a registered voters poll.
This is not likely voters, so you have to you have to think, okay, 15 points likely voters is better.
Registered voters will take, but how did he do that?
How did all this happen?
See, this is the thing.
This is why we were so frustrated, folks, for so long.
We were in the wilderness shouting to our own party.
You gotta listen to us.
Fifteen points up, registered voters in the in a gallop daily tracking poll with independence.
How do you think that happened?
That happened with Ms. Palin, Mrs. Palin, and it happened with a conservative agenda.
When the McCain campaign moved to the right, it brought these independents aboard.
I've always said this would happen if if it were done properly.
In addition, 20-point shift in white women for McCain.
White women have moved from 50 to 42% in Obama's favor before the conventions to 5341% for McCain now.
That's a 20-point shift.
That's ABC News.
Let's go to the audio sound bites and listen to the drive-by's discuss polls.
And the same drive-by media who tell pol tell us that polls are everything, who judge the entire state of the country based on George Bush's approval polls, who judge the entire mood of the country based on their economic polls.
Suddenly now caution us that McCain's rise in the polls is meaningless.
It's just a bounce.
Take a deep breath.
Here's a montage.
We have Rosa Brooks, Los Angeles Times, the demoted Chris Matthews from DNC TV, Dan Blather from HDNet, NBC's Matt Our, Jeff Tubin at CNN, Mike Barnacle from the Boston Herald, and Mika Zinski from DNC TV.
McCain is enjoying a bounce in the polls.
Stuff goes up, and then it goes boying right back down again.
That bounce disappears after a week or two.
I'm not a great believer in polls.
They can disappear overnight.
We need to take a breath on these polls.
I've taken a breath at this point.
Because these polls have a half-life.
I also think people need to take a deep breath and relax, running down the daily polls yesterday and today.
They think they're rather meaningless.
We know there tends to be an overanalysis of polls.
Tomorrow, NBC Wall Street Journal polls come out and wipe all this other stuff off.
Now so all of a sudden the polls don't mean anything.
Now it's here's a bunch of news organizations which literally poll in order to create news and try to influence public opinion rather than take polls that reflect public opinion.
Now all of a sudden say, ah, it doesn't, it doesn't matter.
They're so discombobulated.
One thing I do want to caution you about these polls, folks, because precisely because they are used to shape public opinion.
I don't trust them either.
There is only one point in time in this cycle where they want to be right.
And that is the last week of the election.
They their credibility hinges on being right as it relates to the election returns.
But from now until about a week, maybe weekend prior to the election, you're going to see these polls used as the drive-bys think they need to be used in order to help Obama.
Now I know that might sound like a rash statement, but come on, folks.
We see it, we know it.
The truth is there.
It's it's apparent for all to see.
They're in the tank for Obama, and they're going to do anything they can to get him elected, uh, which is probably also going to redound to uh to our benefit.
But nevertheless, so they can put out a poll now that shows McCain way up among independents, way up among women, or way up in general.
What was it uh over the weekend, a CNN USA-to-day gallop poll or something?
No, USA Today Gallup had uh had McCain up 10 among likely voters.
And uh I got a bunch of emails at home, people all excited.
I said, calm down, calm down.
It won't be long before that gap narrows, and the press will do stories about the fighting comeback, the amazing resurgence of the one.
Obama.
So any.
Well, I know he's floundering badly.
They're gonna do everything they can to bring.
He's really flo- I mean, I some of the things that I have heard him say uh on the campaign trail over the weekend.
Uh I'm beginning to question, you know, not just this whole Messiah thing, but what's genuinely up there between the ears.
What's really up there?
You know, I have I've long thought, and I've I've we can go to the archives and establish this.
I've long thought this guy is a is uh an empty suit and and is really good when things are written for him, but on his own, he's he's one of these pseudo-intelligent people.
He's pseudo-intellectuals.
He pulls it off with his uh manner of speaking and his uh uh aura of thoughtfulness and so forth, but you know, just it's it's not there.
Just isn't there.
And I think, you know, Democrats.
I asked last week, how long is it going to be before they realize they got to get rid of Biden?
I'm wondering how many of them are thinking.
Gee, what did we do here?
We didn't really even vet this guy, and he's our nominee.
Uh they just they're making mistake after mistake after mistake.
But don't be fooled.
This is gonna be brutal.
The people that want this guy elected are not gonna let him stand in the way of his own success.
They'll do whatever they can to help him.
Here's uh w let me let me ask you one more soundbite, play one more soundbite for you.
Uh the sound bites that you just heard, the montage of media bigs saying we need to take a breath on these polls.
Where'd they get that spin?
Where'd they get that analysis?
They got it, my friends from the Obama campaign talking points.
Here is um CNN InfoBabe Betty Wynne interviewing campaign spokesman for Obama, Bill Burton.
Well, I think folks ought to take a deep breath.
This is a close race.
We are a deeply divided electorate.
Trust me, nobody's losing any sleep at our campaign.
These national polls right now are completely meaningless.
These polls are going to go up and down, and the national polls are uh pretty much completely meaningless at this point.
And uh here is uh uh U.S. Democrat presidential candidate Barack Obama, maybe struggling to nudge ahead of his Republican rival in polls at home, but people across the world want him in the White House, according to a BBC poll.
And uh and then is his campaign advisor David Fluff, let me get this one for you, told a Washington Post reporter, your poll is wrong.
Your David Fluff told a Washington Post reporter, your poll is wrong.
The poll that shows uh Obama uh losing 20 points to McCain with women female voters, your your poll's wrong.
Now, one caveat.
I hate to say it.
Burton has a point here about national polls.
Not that they're they're here's how they're worthwhile.
They're worthwhile for pumping people up or depressing people.
But it's these individual state polls that matter because this is a country that elects its president via the electoral college.
So the national polls are a good indication when your guy happens to be up in the national poll, go, yeah, yeah, it can pump you up, keep you motivated, and so forth.
On the contrary, it can depress you if your guy's not doing well.
But you gotta look at these state-by-state polls.
Yes, Miss a question from the program observer.
What is it, Miss Snertley?
Mm-hmm.
Mm-hmm.
The Obama trend since last March has been plummeting.
The Obama trend has been plummeting.
Uh and it's uh well, it was a steady, it was a steady decline.
Now it's a plummet.
You know, in a lot in a lot of polls, it is a plummet.
He got no bounce.
Uh McCain and Palin did.
Look, I quick timeout here.
We'll be back.
Lots more straight ahead, plus your phone calls at 800-282-2882.
We'll be right back, folks.
Stay with us.
Barack Obama, the Messiah, the most merciful.
Just did a press conference to respond to President Bush today, who made a um uh speech and some remarks about our success in uh in Iraq.
And it's funny.
I I knew Obama would have to do it.
Go out there.
Whatever Bush does a press conference and talks about the success of the war in Iraq, the war in Afghanistan, the war on terror.
The Democrats run out to he's politicizing the war, he's politicizing the war, and they start crying foul running around like stuck pigs.
And it just, of course, they can politicize the war all they want by ripping it, by hoping for defeat, by investing in defeat, by owning defeat.
Bush goes out there and tells a great story about what's going on in Iraq starting in January, maybe 8,000 U.S. troops will come home from Iraq.
And uh and Obama gave his little remarks about about the war, and always opposed it was wrong, uh drastic change in our foreign policy.
Went to the QA and they asked him about polls.
They asked the anointed one about polls, and he said the same thing that you just heard from our audio soundbite montage.
Well, you know, these uh they're swinging up and they're swinging down.
Uh it's uh the you you gotta take a deep breath here.
Uh that's their message today that the polls don't count.
Of course, you can't blame them, except these are the people that live and die by the polls.
Uh by the way, here's another one.
Hey, but here's I mentioned the BBC poll, by the way, which is a poll of people around the world, majority of whom ostensibly want Obama.
You watch how that one's played up.
Well, they ignored all these domestic polls.
Yeah, it's just, you know, they gotta take a deep breath.
These things have a half-life.
Nah, that's no big deal.
Watch him play up the BBC poll.
That's what they will do.
More Americans would cast ballots for Sarah Palin than for Joe Biden.
If they were able to vote for a vice presidential vice president independent of their presidential choice, this is a CNN opinion research corporation poll, a thousand twenty-two adults taken September 5, 6, and 7, found that if voters were allowed to vote just for president in November, the result would be a statistical tie between Obama and McCain, 4948.
But Palin trounces Biden, 53 to 44, nine-point edge.
She is the difference in this campaign, and the difference is because she is a conservative, and the identity politics of the left is fascinating to watch all of these feminist women, all of these left-wing Democrat women coming out and trashing her for what, you know, the most the most base of reasons, the most silly of reasons.
And then they, you know, their worldview is being shaken up because, like, for example, last week they could not believe an eye would support a woman.
They could not believe that evangelicals would vote for a woman who works.
They have such a narrow cliched worldview of conservatives and religious people that they cannot properly analyze anything.
So whereas the people in our party and a lot of others who are excited about Sarah Palin, excited about her, not because she's a woman, but because she's competent, because she's conservative, and because she is she's gonna wipe this country with Obama's rear end before it's all over, and Joe Biden's too.
And this is what we have been asking for.
This is she she delivers, she defends, she attacks, she represents everything that we believe in ideologically for the most part, and Modi's pure.
And we have been waiting for this kind of elected political demonstration to leadership for the longest time, and we've got it.
We don't care whether it's a woman, don't care if it's a black woman, don't care if it's a Martian.
But they are the ones that practice all this identity politics.
And of course, this is not the right woman.
So many of the myths that our liberalism are just blowing up in these people's faces.
Folks, I just love it, and some of them know it.
Willie Brown.
Democrats are in trouble.
Former mayor of San Francisco, former Speaker of the California Assembly, in Time magazine sounded the alarm over Governor Palin.
He wrote this, actually, it's a time is the is reprint reprinting this.
He had an op-ed in the San Francisco Chronicle.
Sarah Palin has totally changed the dynamics of this campaign.
A Republicans are now on offense, as I said.
Democrats are on defense, and we don't do well on defense.
Willie Brown understands what the Democrats face.
Here's something else.
Whether it's Sarah Palin, her surge or a new McCain ad smacking Obama around, the only effective response the Obama campaign has is to release a highly produced ad.
Biden can't respond unscripted in an interview.
He isn't an attack dog.
He wets himself when Palin's name is mentioned, folks.
Obama isn't any better.
Obama either changes a previously held position or lies or wanders aimlessly in search of a thought when challenged with a simple question, because these guys cannot tell the truth.
So they've got to remember what lie they told when, so that they don't uh get contradicted.
Every time, every time Obama and Biden take to the airways, they screw things up worse than they were before they started talking.
It's kind of laughable, and it's entertaining to watch at the same time.
Obama and Biden are McCain and Powell's best surrogates.
Unintentionally.
Right now, the Obama campaign desperately needs their candidate to be capable of going out in public and making his case.
And go on the Sunday shows, do interview after interview and dazzle the folks the way Clinton did.
But he can't.
That strategy won't fly.
It's not a viable option.
Obama never looks or sounds presidential, and the polls are just now beginning to reflect that as more and more people are paying attention to Obama.
You and I pay attention year-round to this stuff.
But traditionally, after the Labor Day holiday and the conventions, that's when people in mass start paying more attention.
And the bloom is off the Obama rose.
He just doesn't look or sound presidential, particularly off the cuff.
The star, the Messiah, the one, is not a weapon to be deployed.
As of as of right now, all Obama has is hope that Sarah Palin will make a stake.
He can't even count on his campaign staff, otherwise known as the drive-by media.
They keep shooting themselves in the foot, too.
Their angry bias, their smears.
Their second rate propaganda is not working, and it is exposing them for who they are.
More and more of Obama's campaign staff, i.e., the drive-by media keeps being laid off, in fact, losing jobs.
His campaign staff continues to shrink.
So all that's left is the candidate.
Barack Obama.
And that is why Obama will not debate McCain in town hall settings.
The candidate is not capable of making his case.
All these recent interviews have been disastrous for Obama and Biden, and now Obama all of a sudden starting to sound like a Republican.
He's for charter schools.
No, he's not, but he says so.
And he's going to delay his tax increases till after the recession.
Wonder what they're finding in their internal polling.
Welcome back, my friends, Rush Limboy, your guiding light, America's truth detector, doctor of democracy, and real anchorman.
All combined as one harmless, lovable little fuzzball.
Telephone number 800-282-2882, email address, Ilrushball at EIBNet.com.
One thing that Obama, he started this little press conference of his right at noon, right when this program started.
So I have spies watching this thing for me because I can't read the closed captioning of the Messiah's remarks while I am co-ho uh at the same time hosting this program.
But I am told that one of the things that Obama said is that he is glad that Bush is finally implementing the policy of withdrawal from Iraq that he's been advocating for years.
As this, I mean, as if it would have been uh possible to withdraw when Obama first suggested.
We would have lost.
Not one.
We would have withdrawn in defeat.
This is the kind, you know, this is a kind of arrogance I don't I don't think a majority of people are going to be fooled by this.
People are very much aware when it comes to the war, when it comes to the war, but whatever people think about George W. Bush, they know one thing.
They know he hasn't wavered and they know he hasn't buckled, and he has not given up, and he would not accept defeat.
He went whatever public opinion was, if it was genuinely reflected in those polls, and I don't think it was, because I don't think the American people wanted to lose.
I don't think they wanted to get out and lose like the Democrats thought.
So for Obama, this little man child to come along now and try to take credit while Bush is finally listening to me.
You know, the drive-by is meant, wow, that's really clever.
That's sort of Clinton-esque.
It ain't gonna fly, folks.
It isn't gonna fly.
The bloom is off the Obama rose.
I have I I want to tell you about something that happened to me over the weekend.
I had had dinner Saturday night with uh with some friends.
And once again, it was it was brought home to me how some how I guess how frustrating it can be for for many people, many conservatives.
Because here we are, Saturday night was no different than today.
Here we are in the midst of a huge electoral turnaround, at least in the polls.
Obama and Palin are drawing crowds of 10 to 40,000 people.
More people want to get in that can't than can.
In fact, the New York Times on Sunday, did you see the front page pictures?
Obama basically in a barnyard and a state fair would look like three or four people in the audience standing in a bunch of straw, and they're a McCain and Salin in an airplane hangar with a sea of people as far as you can see.
And a picture of Obama looked like he's there by himself with a small little crowd, and the McCain Palin picture, and I'm this is the front page of the New York Times.
Now, I guess the theme of my mini monologue here on the Saturday night dinner is that there are still a lot of people on our side of the aisle who believe that the Democrats, as a party, and that the media, the drive-by media, are invincible, that they cannot be beaten, that they have succeeded in distorting the truth in a majority of people's minds.
So we're sitting there having dinner, and a couple of people start complaining about this.
And they start asking, what are we gonna do?
What are we gonna do?
I mean, I can walk through town and I can find half the people here thinking Obama's Jesus Christ and he's the Messiah, they'll believe her.
What are we gonna do?
You know, and I gave an answer.
You've heard it constantly here on this program.
I said, Well, I don't think they're anywhere near a majority.
You're fallen prey to the age-old belief that the media, the Democrat Party is invincible.
The drive-by media monopoly has been destroyed, it's been blown up, they're laying off people, they're losing ratings, they're losing revenue.
It was like I was talking to a blank wall.
Question came again.
Well, what are we gonna do about it?
I understand what you're saying, but what are we gonna do about it?
What are we gonna do about it?
We are doing about it.
What have I been doing for 20 years?
I said, if you want to do something about it, go fix the school in your town here.
Or go walking door to door and tell these people they're stupid.
What are you sitting here?
What are we gonna do about it?
What are you doing about it?
I understand what you're saying.
He said, What are we gonna do about it?
He asked me a third time, and I lost it.
I mean, I actually I think chunks, particles of food were flying out of my mouth.
I'm not kidding, folks.
And I said, you know what?
I've had it.
I can't be around this anymore.
This pessimism and defeatism, sitting around saying, what are we gonna do when you're not doing anything except whining?
I got no patience for it.
What are we gonna do about it?
When the fact of the matter is, I said, look at look at look at my life.
Why in the world would I feel pessimistic or defeated?
My parents wouldn't understand my life, they wouldn't believe it.
It is blessed.
I've got nothing to complain about, nothing to whine about.
And by the way, from my standpoint, I've had a hell of a difference in fixing what you think is wrong.
Now I bring this up because I do think that attitudes are important, and it's being reflected in the reaction that everybody's having to Sarah Palin.
And that reaction, by the way, is not just contained to conservatives or Republicans.
She's lighting it up everywhere she's going.
And by the way, I saw McCain with her this morning.
He's got 15,000 times more energy.
This guy's full of this guy's a, he's a different guy.
Uh, and it's the whole thing has been, it's a giant turnaround, and everybody's excited, but I want to examine why are we so excited about it?
Well, it's it's very to me, very simple.
You and I, and those of you who listen to this program regularly, we know what the blueprint for success is, and we have been frustrated beyond belief that our own party has has uh uh tried to throw it away and has tried to come up with a different blueprint.
And we've come up with theories to try to explain why, and I think I know the answer why.
I think I think they're just like some of these people I had dinner with Saturday night.
The Republicans who live in Washington believe that the majority of this country believes Democrats, thinks Democrats are compassion, think Democrats are not racists.
Uh they they live in Washington and they believe all these myths and cliches about conservatism that uh that the drive-by is the Democrat Party have been spewing, and so they genuinely think the way to win elections to go out and persuade Democrats that they're not nice, they're not not that they are nice people and not bad people.
So we got to get Democrats who got independent.
We're sitting here at the summer, wow, this is silly, this is stupid.
Then we start saying maybe they're just trying to run us out of the party.
They don't like us because we're pro-life, they don't like us for this or that, we're too rigid or whatever.
Now look what happens.
Through fate, divine intervention, I don't know what it is.
McCain chooses Sarah Palin.
And all of a sudden, this party has members sending in record amounts of campaign contributions, whereas three weeks ago, people weren't interested.
This party is now revitalized, it is unified around the concept of victory.
It's on offense.
Willie Brown is right.
Nobody's hiding their head underneath the sheets under the covers and so forth, afraid to look out.
All because of one woman who has a natural talent.
She's like a lot of people, and I say this all the time, a lot of greatness.
People are great make it look easy.
She looks like she's a natural.
She is genuine.
She is authentic.
She can speak off the cuff or from the prompter.
But she is, she has her convictions.
And that's why she's confident.
She has a track record of experience that they've tried to blow up and lie about, but they can't.
She doesn't have to fake anything.
She doesn't have to make it up.
She doesn't have to be defensive.
She can just be who she is, and that is largely, you know, there's some populism in her approach, but largely she's conservative.
And so this has rallied people.
You sit here and wonder, you hope a party will notice what's happened here.
And said this this could have this could have been going on the last eight years.
This could have been going on in 1980.
If we'd done this in 1996 and might have been able to take out Bill Clinton with all that was going on.
But this party has just been fearful of finding anybody that's rock ribbed conservative.
And in fact, I mean you can go through all the nominees or the candidates that ran for our nomination, and you can throw Romney Fred Thompson at, but not one of them really had an identity as a strong conservative.
Every one of them had some yeah butts about them.
So even in the Republican primary, people were settling.
There wasn't wild enthusiasm for any of those candidates.
And the reason is Republicans do not want to hear Republican candidates talk about how they're going to go out and join Democrats and get Democrats here and independents over there and so forth.
We won't beat them.
Sarah Palin makes it sound like that's what she wants to do is beat them.
And she frees McCain up to go out and run his campaign as he wants with his uh focus on precious independents and Democrats in his cabinet and so forth, which is fine and dandy, no big deal.
My only point here, folks, is that it's never as bad as the pessimists and the defeatists think.
Battleground poll, last 13 of them.
Question D3, 60% of the American people, between 58 and 61% in the last 13 battleground polls, people identify themselves as conservative or somewhat conservative.
60%.
So it's just, it's it's crucial that you just put on the armor.
Put on the body armor when you are exposing yourself to drive-by media year-round.
I don't care what it's music, entertainment, movies, news, or what have you, because they are creating the impression that they are an 80% majority, that they represent all of the right, proper correct thinking in the camp.
They are the they're the freaks.
They are the minority.
And if you're going to sit here, well, what are we going to do about it?
What are we going to do about it?
Don't just ask.
Newsletter.
Look at Sarah Palin.
You believe this?
She's where she is today because she decided she had to go to a PTA meeting to straighten out her kids' school.
You know how many potential Sarah Palins there are out there doing just that versus, well, what are we going to do about it?
What are we going to do about it?
I hear you, but what are we going to do about it?
The one thing you don't do, whether you're looking for a job, career advice, you do not listen to whiners.
You do not listen to people not doing anything but complaining.
It's like you want to succeed in some business, find somebody who's succeeded at it and learn from them.
Don't find somebody who's failed and let them tell you how rotten and unfair the business you want to go into is.
Find people that have succeeded and loved it and learn from them.
By the same token, when you're looking to be motivated or inspired, what's happening in a political situation such as the presidential election, do not, because it's easy to get suckered in to pessimism.
We can do that naturally.
Takes work to be positive.
It takes effort.
So don't hang around with people who are just going to whine and moan and complain all the time because they'll eventually get to you.
And then you'll um stop doing anything because you'll be all depressed and you'll be worthless to us.
And I want you to become worthless.
We'll be back.
Stay with us.
One more thing, ladies and gentlemen.
I will tell you when it's time to panic.
I will tell you when it's time to be depressed.
Until then, don't go there.
All right, this afternoon, Riverside, Ohio, Obama held a press conference.
Jake Tapper of ABC News said, Do you wish you would ask a woman on your ticket?
And what can you do to attract these women back?
These are the same polls that had me 20 down last summer that uh have swung wildly throughout this process.
There is no doubt that Governor Palin attracted a lot of attention this week.
Uh and my general uh approach throughout this process has been not to worry about today's news or yesterday's polls, but to worry about what is it that where is it that I want to see the country?
What is it that I'm trying to accomplish?
As uh Barack Obama once again wandering aimlessly for a thought when asked by Jake Tapper, how do you explain your 20-point drop in women and what are you gonna do to get them back?
Well, I don't care.
I don't pay attention to polls.
Poll don't matter, I'm Barack Obama.
Now, this may be a first because the drive-by's cut away from Obama in his press conference to cover Sarah Palin.
Uh right in the middle of an Obama speech on education, the drive piece cut all away from him uh to the to this huge McCain Palin rally.
Uh this had to drive the Obama war room crazy.
They're cutting away from the Messiah for Sarah Palin.
Here's a montage of how it happened at those networks.
If they've got the will, if they've got the grace.
Barack Obama speaking right now in Dayton, Ohio, not far away.
We're seeing aerial shots now of a crowd that has gathered for John McCain and Sarah Palin.
And look at those crowds that have gathered.
Let's listen.
There you have uh Senator Barack Obama.
We will get to uh the other event, the other side of the coin, if you will, John McCain.
Well, that speech continues in Riverside, Ohio, 30 miles away in Lebanon, Ohio.
Sarah Palin now introducing John McCain.
Want to catch a quick shot of this from the Buckeye State.
So as the pollsters and the pundits were trying to write them off, you all knew better.
The American voter knew better.
That was Sarah Palin.
They all they cut away from Obama to cover Sarah Palin.
That uh, ladies and gentlemen, has to be a first.
Now, as you know, I'm a powerful, influential member of the media.
And I, ladies and gentlemen, get advanced notices of things that'll soon be posted on reputable websites, such as John Fund and his political diary at the Wall Street Journal website has just went out.
It's gonna be posted soon.
Democrats understand Sarah Palin is a formidable political force who's upset the Obama victory plan.
Latest ABC Washington Post poll uh shows McCain taking a twelve-point lead over Obama among white women, a reversal of Obama's eight-point lead last month.
It's no surprise then that Democrats have airdropped a mini army of 30 lawyers, investigators, and opposition researchers into Anchorage.
The state capitul, Juno, and Mrs. Palin's hometown of Wasilla to dig into her record and background.
John Funn says my sources report the first wave arrived in Anchorage less than 24 hours after McCain selected her on uh August 29th.
The main area of interest to the Democrats SWAT team is Mrs. Palin's dismissal in July of her public safety commissioner.
This is about the trooper business.
This is this is something that everybody's been over and under and inside and out and got their arms around it everywhere.
There's nothing there.
It is just pure desperation.
And what these people are gonna do, they're gonna go there and they're ostensibly gonna find something they weren't looking for.
It'd be big, big big news.
And then the drive-bys, who are also part of the Obama SWAT team, will be right there to amplify this.
This but this this is um my instincts tell me that all this effort, no effort at the same time made to find out about Obama and Bill Ayers, Obama and Jeremiah Wright, Obama and Indonesia, Obama at Harvard.
No effort whatsoever to find out anything Obama's done.
What is the community organizer to?
Who the hell was he organizing in the community?
Who was he working for?
Acorn, was he helping to register people to vote multiple times illegally?
No curiosity whatsoever.
And here they're doing everything they can to destroy this woman who's taken this country By storm.
And each time they've tried this over the course of this campaign, it has backfired.
It's like a bag of manure right in front.
They step in it.
You can put it 45 degrees, you can put it 180 degrees out of the way, and they will still find it and step in it.
That's been their pattern ever since they were discombobulated with her selection.
You know how this SWAT team is going to work up in Alaska.
They're just going to go to hangouts, bars, wherever, with lots of cash.
Offering lots of cash for any story.
