Time Text
Hey, greetings and welcome back, ladies and gentlemen.
It's Rush Limbaugh.
This is the Excellence in Broadcasting Network and the Limbaugh Institute for Advanced Conservative Studies.
As always, a thrill and delight to be with you.
Telephone number 80082-2882.
Email address if you want to send an email.
It's L Rushball at EIB net.com.
By the way, Ansatuni.
A lot of news here about An Zatoonie, who lives in the slum sweet slum in Boston.
I still, I can't get over to it.
By the way, before I get into Anzatootti, I have to share with you, I checked the email here during the break.
Rush, you sound like you're in a good mood.
I am in a good mood.
I'm always in a good mood.
But Rush, but Rush, it looks so bad out there.
I know how it looks.
Folks, pay no attention to how it looks.
That's been manufactured for you.
It has been manufactured.
If you want to look at the battleground polls where you see Obama up seven, Obama up ten, Obama, go ahead, but look at the undecided in those states.
There's fluidity remaining out there.
I Charlie Cook of the Cook Report, big political pollster analyst.
He said, I I I don't believe people don't believe our polls this year.
If I'm wrong, Charlie Cooks, if I'm wrong, I will quit the polling business and I'll start working in a fast food joint.
This is how confident they are.
But folks, look at life is going to go on, and we're I just to tell you, I'm set up psychologically, mentally, professionally to go on, regardless what happens here, because we have to.
And I uh, you know, I'm I'm I'm not a Pollyanna.
Don't misunderstand.
But uh I think we all you all have to prepare yourselves for whatever eventuality is out there, and and you make the best of whatever happens.
And so don't don't don't watch this stuff today and tonight.
If you're not tough, because that they've the die is cast, they're already starting to talk about Obama's second term and the things that he will accomplish in his first term and build on and so forth, while at the same time claiming they don't know him.
They don't know anything about him, they know all about him, and they're very they don't want to be tied to his radicalness if he wins once he starts implementing this stuff.
They don't they want to be left off the hook.
They they don't want to be blamed for this.
They don't want to be blamed if it if it if he does what he says he's gonna do.
Their this presidential campaign, as far as the media is concerned, is about them.
It's about their ability to move public opinion, it's about their ability to lie to people, it's about their ability to get somebody elected that they want elected for whatever reason.
Historical nature of his campaign or whatever.
Now, Anzatuni.
Uh living in the slum sweet slum in Boston.
Do you know that Ant Zatutti attended Obama's swearing in to the U.S. Senate in 2004?
She did, folks.
She attended his swearing in to the U.S. Senate in 2004.
Anza Tootie did.
Campaign officials said that Obama provided no assistance in getting her a tourist visa.
He doesn't know the details of her stay.
He doesn't know how she got here.
By the way, Ant Zatutie's life has not changed much since Obama's rise to fame and power.
Together, we will change the world for good.
Taking care of the least among us.
Meanwhile, an Anzai Tooney's red-infested low-income hovel in an undesirable section of Boston.
Should we feed me cut?
Or is this can ours?
If you don't like your life now, wait until Obama takes care of you.
A message from the EIB network reminding you of the obvious.
Obama has no idea how she got here.
She's living in the U.S. illegally.
No idea how she got here.
But she was at his uh his swearing in.
The media is even saying he hasn't spoken of her.
He hasn't written hadn't spoken of her.
He wrote about her in one of his books.
At any rate, the bottom line is Obama has run a slick campaign.
He has been unchallenged by his uh liberal friends in the media.
He has he's had different messages uh targeted to different people in different regions in the country.
He has spent over six hundred million dollars.
You remember when the amount of money we spent on campaigns was horrible.
It said it it was so bad.
What did it say about us?
People were out there buying elections and so forth.
Now all of a sudden it's marvelous.
Now it's wonderful.
Thank you, campaign financial.
I'll tell you what else this means.
Remember the old days of federal matching funds?
If you uh if you take public money, who, in their right mind running for office, would ever take public money again?
Who would ever do it?
Frankly, I think taking public money was a joke in the first place, but who would ever do it now that there's been shown that you can raise money from all over the world and nobody knows who's contributing to you as long as the amounts are under 200 bucks.
Six hundred million dollars.
Nobody's alarmed by all of this.
He spent that 600 million dollars trying to convince people that he is their savior, that he's somebody who he's not.
He runs one kind of campaign in Philadelphia and a different kind of campaign in Scranton and Erie, Allegheny County and Pittsburgh, same thing in Ohio, same thing in Virginia.
He says one thing in Northern Virginia, a different thing in Southwest Virginia.
And he has done this all over the country.
But we know enough about him, all of us, wherever we live and work, to know that in the end he wants to create an all-powerful federal government where politicians and bureaucrats dictate how people are to live.
He wants to dictate which businesses live and which die.
He wants to dictate how much you're allowed to earn and keep and how much he will seize from you and give to people who pay no federal income taxes at all.
Obama is and always has been a socialist, a radical socialist to boot.
If he does become president, uh, with no one or no institution able to put a check on his power, because he's gonna have big majorities in Congress, he's gonna have the authority to impose his will and as he says, fundamentally change the nation.
And that's no small thing.
You know, it's one thing we're for change, hope of the future.
When you start talking about fundamental change, that's big stuff, and he's been honest about wanting to bankrupt the coal industry.
And he's gonna get votes from coal miners.
You know, coal industry uh leaders say this is this is a disaster.
If he follows through with this, it would be a disaster.
That's an understatement.
Of course it'd be a disaster.
A little sip of water there, ladies and gentlemen, a dry throat after arriving back from Indianapolis at 3 a.m. today.
And as I say, off to Washington tonight for the Steelers, Redskins.
Now, this is interesting.
This is interesting because the Redskin, now how does this go?
How does this go?
What I the the the um the trend is, or the record is that if the Redskins win their last game before the election, the incumbent party retains its power.
So therefore the Redskins beat the Steelers tonight, McCain wins.
That's how the theory goes.
But Mike Tomlin, the new head coach of the Pittsburgh Steelers is 3-0 on Monday night.
The Redskins tonight got a uh their their loan deep threat, the wide receiver Santani Moss has a bum hamstring game time decision, probably is going to play.
The Steelers are without their starting strong safety, but I ran into Coach Madden in the hotel at the we stated to Conrad uh in Indianapolis on Saturday night, and Coach Madden was in the lobby wearing a baseball cap down over his head in uh in in blue jeans and so forth, and he was he was with Vinny, who is the uh I mean, every organization has a Vinny.
If if if you need two six packs of beer at 4 a.m. in the horse trailer truck that's lost on the highway in Defiance, Ohio, Vinny will have it there in five minutes.
He's just he's one of these guys.
He's he was talking to Vinny, and I walked up to him before I walked into the restaurant with uh friends and hey coach, I said, tell me Steelers Redskins.
He said, Ah, Steelers.
They're just a better team.
Steelers are just a better team.
And I said, Well, what about this trend?
You know, well, that's not, I think that that's been broken, the coach said.
I'm not, I think that trend's been broken.
But hey, that's not I don't I don't, I'm not gonna judge football games.
He said, Well, the Redskins could win this game.
Don't misunderstand, but on paper, he said the Steelers have the uh uh more depth here.
Uh Redskins are a little bit of a surprise team, but whatever.
We're gonna be there for it.
Uh we uh we zip out of here right after the program this afternoon and get back again, probably at three or four in the morning tomorrow.
By the way, a little headline uh here.
This is in the um, I'm not sure.
Chronicle Staff Writer could be San Francisco Chronicle.
I don't think it's the Houston Chronicle, because I it is.
San Francisco Chronicle.
Obama victory is hope and doubt for the black population.
Listen to this, Mr. Sturdley, you might be able to analyze this.
Blacks see hope and doubt in an Obama victory.
The prospect that in a matter of hours an African American could be elected president has triggered a complex set of emotions for many black people.
For a people first brought here centuries ago in chains, thrown together by the imprecise lens of skin color, and systematically subjugated long after slavery was abolished.
The election presents the possibility of a monumental marker, a mountaintop reached.
It's been a long struggle, said Gracie Nash, 45, who grew up in West Oakland eating free lunches provided by the Black Panther Party.
She now a nurse in her hometown.
She beamed as she spoke.
It's about keeping the faith, but the possibility of a black president is happening in a nation where being black is closely linked to lesser schools, low-skilled jobs, poor life expectancy, and greater chances of landing in prison.
So Senator Obama's candidacy also promotes apprehension.
Uh Abu Dagi Isomimi, 23 graduated from Oakland Tech, said a black president is not magic.
He's not going to make inequality change overnight, and he's sure not going to change it in four years.
Now I have no doubt.
Let me let me try to provide here some comfort to the confused and perplexed black population of America, my African American friends.
Have no doubt.
Be confident that you in the black population who look to elected leaders and governments to improve your condition for you.
You're still going to be miserable along with the rest of the middle class, for whom Obama is going to claim to do all kinds of things as well.
Have you seen people at these Obama rallies carrying signs?
I'm voting for Obama, give me your money was one sign.
Obama is going to buy my gas.
Give me your money.
Now, some of these signs could be McCain supporters out there trying to mock and make fun of these people, but make no bones.
Make no mistake.
There are Obama voters who believe this is going to happen right in our middle class.
So those of you African American friends of the black population who look to elected leaders in government to improve your condition for you, you're still going to be miserable.
You've been looking for this for 50 years, and they have done it.
They have told you they've made great advances on your behalf.
They've given you this, they've given you that.
They've given you affirmative action.
They got rid of this, got rid of that, got rid of description.
But it's still bad.
After 50 years, you shouldn't have expectations things don't change overnight.
Or even in four years.
It's not going to change because you're looking to a black president versus a black congressman or senator.
We've got black congressmen out there that represent you.
We got black mayors out there that represent you.
We have black senators that are out there representing or have had.
And have things changed?
Have they?
So what difference is a black president going to make?
You've had all these other people in charge of government to fix it and to fix your economic circumstances.
Bottom line for my African-American friends and those of you in the middle class as well, along with some of the black middle class, all of you in the middle class, I don't care, race, sex, sexual orientation, sexual preference, animal pet choice, doesn't matter.
You're all going to be targeted by Barack Obama.
As long as you are looking for somebody else to improve your life, you will wind up just like Aunt Zatouti in a slum.
By the way, folks, another way to translate this piece in the San Francisco Chronicle, Black Sea Hope and Doubt in an Obama victory.
I th by the way, I just I think that's horrible.
I I I think this is the story that it's i to me it's sickening.
It's it's it's no different than the slum lord up there in Boston saying, Oh, yeah, Ant Zatutie, she's an exemplary citizen.
Yeah, that and deciding whether to feed the cat with the cat food or to feed herself.
She sent Barry 260 bucks campaign donation.
He sent it back with nothing else.
He didn't send her 500, he didn't send her two hundred and sixty-one.
He sent her the exact amount she donated.
It's his aunt.
As far as we know, he's he sent nothing to the brother George On Yango Hussein Obama living over in the hut in Kenya.
And now we got this story, Black Sea hope and doubt could grieve d I cannot relate to having every virtually every hope I have invested in another human being.
Particularly somebody from the government, I just can't relate to it.
And so now we've got this story.
We're on the verge, according to the story, of s of of making profound history in America, the first African American president.
And still it's not enough.
Still it has some African Americans in doubt.
Because it isn't going to mean change.
Well, then why vote for the guy?
His whole mantra's fundamental change.
So like I said, if you're sitting around waiting for I don't care if it's the government, if you're sitting around waiting for anybody to do anything for you or a lot for you, you're gonna end up being like Anne Zatti.
All right.
People been waiting patiently on the phones.
Let's go and see what's lurking out there.
Kansas City, this is Jane, glad you call.
Thank you for waiting.
You are on the EIB network.
Hi.
Hello.
Hi.
For me, Rosh.
Hello.
Hi.
Rosh.
Um, yeah.
I'm so glad I got through.
I've been trying to call for three months.
And I have this observation, first of all, um, I don't know if American realize that that we this is uh revolution that we are going through.
And um I'm sorry I'm a little nervous.
There's got so much I wanted to tell people.
Um the the Republican party are um the the vote are are getting split because of strategy of uh Democrats trying to play and I think that everybody should vote for the um Republican uh party approved.
Um Wait a minute.
Let me let me let me try to help you get focused here.
What what what is what the revolution going on?
Well, first of all, uh let me get back.
Uh the Rosh ex uh expelled uh poet Sorenitzi, if I pronounced correctly.
He has uh given a speech in nineteen seventy-six, and I never forget, and I was still young.
He has said, see, I'm not from this part of country.
I you know, my family migrated here because we knew that communists were eventually take over, you know, our part of country.
So um Nizi, I gave a speech.
He said that um you are seeing twenty-five years and um in the West and America, they will be handcuffed behind in by the commoners.
They will be pushing into the iron bar, and and all the people will have a big smiling face.
Okay, so what's what you think is is that Obama represents a Marxist revolution that's in disguise yes, uh there are two groups of people here.
For us, we think we are going through a normal election.
But even that, most of the people say this is an unusual election.
For then, okay, they are going through a revolution under the disguise of an election.
All right, well, here's the problem with that.
Now, I I I understand what you're saying.
I'm and and I know that you uh you were raised in China, and so you have practical experience with this.
But a revolution of the kind you mean, and I I know exactly what you mean, but we have perhaps the largest.
Now, again, this is this is part of the template and the narrative, and we'll have to wait and see.
But we're being told we're gonna have the largest turnout in the history of presidential elections, right?
That means if there is indeed a revolution, that the people themselves are causing it.
I mean, this is not right now.
Obama is not Castro up in the hills plotting his trip down into Havana to kick Batista out of the country and so forth, riding along with a cigar in a Jeep.
Uh he's he's out there, he's trying to get people to vote for his revolution.
Now, his if it using your your terminology, but it's you know he is promising different things to different people depending on the state he's in, the region, if the of the state that he is uh he's speaking in.
There's no question that whether you want to call it revolution or not, I mean that.
Time will tell, but there's no question that he has a desire to fundamentally, in his own words, change the uh the structure of the country, and it does not bode well.
Arnold Schwarzenegger ventured to Columbus, Ohio last Friday and delivered a campaign stump appearance for Senator McCain.
The media largely ignored it.
They we have us one, two, three, four sound bites of uh the governor's speech.
Uh the first one here is the one that the uh the media used.
They gave this one a little airplay, not a whole lot.
I want to invite Senator Obama because he needs to do something.
He needs to do something about those skinny legs.
We're gonna give make him do some squats.
And then now we're gonna go and give him some biceps cross to beef up the scrolling launch.
But if we if if we only could do something about putting some meat on his ideas, Arnold Schwarzenegger in Columbus, Ohio on a Friday.
That's the bite the media played the next three.
You probably haven't heard.
John McCain has served this country longer in the POW camp than his opponent has served in the United States Senate.
Ladies and gentlemen, ladies and gentlemen, I only play an action hero in my movies.
But John McCain is a real action hero.
Now here is Arnold again.
This is this is part of his campaign, by the way, for governor, explaining why it is that he left Europe.
Ohio cannot afford, America cannot afford the economic proposals of Senator Obama.
I tell you something, I left Europe four decades ago because of socialism has killed a badunatist there.
And many, and many, many, many entrepreneurs and business leaders all left and have taken jobs with them.
And I tell you, in recent years, Europe has realized its mistakes and began rolling back some of its spread-to-wealth policies.
And I tell you something.
I tell you something, I am so fortunate that I have the chance of coming to the greatest country in the world, the United States of America.
And now I run the state of California, which is asking for a federal bailout.
Here's the final Arnold.
The media doesn't think that John can win.
And it is true.
It is true.
It is true that Senator Obama has raised massive amounts of campaign funds more than anyone in a history.
If Senator Obama had taken off that money that he has spent on TV ads, he could have bailed out the banks, paid off everyone's mortgages, and saved taxpays or time.
I think I think there will be a backlash against all of this lopsided spending.
I thank Americans and Jews that will say our democracy is not for sale.
Let me tell you something.
When John was a BOW, this Vietnamese captors, they didn't think that he would survive or that he would live.
But he has proven them wrong, and on election day, he will prove the media wrong.
Rad on Raton, right on.
I disagree with Arnold Schwarzenegger about one thing.
He said he needs Obama needs to go out there and do some squats.
He's already done squat.
Barack Obama has done diddly squat.
143 days in the Senate, how many present votes in the Illinois Senate?
Two books with made-up characters.
He hasn't done, he didn't even buy his own house.
He needed a mobster's assistance.
That man, Tony Rezco.
Hasn't done deadly squat.
It's amazing.
Miles in Minneapolis.
Your next as we go back to the phones here on the EIB network.
Hello.
Thank you, sir.
I appreciate taking my call.
You bet.
As a regard to the article or the bits you were talking about a little while ago about uh people of color looking at the election and not necessarily believing in it.
Um I'm a college professor, and I'm a conservative educator, which makes me kind of an oddball to start with.
And just roughly talking to my students, uh I'm finding out that yes, there are a lot of there are a lot of Kool-Aid drinkers that are going along with the election or whatever else.
But there are also a number of students of color that step back and say, I don't know where he's coming from.
I I don't know.
We've heard these promises before.
Um many of my students are uh second generation immigrants, and they've said, uh, we came to the country legally, we've followed all the rules, and yet for some reason everything is being bent and changed with these, like I say, empty promises.
And they're not falling, I don't think they're buying into it.
And one thing I see that troubles me is I think the media's saying they're saying, look at this run, look at this run towards uh uh the election, we're gonna have all this landslide, uh, overwhelming support from all these different groups.
The groups that supposedly overwhelmingly support him don't necessarily support him.
So this is purely anecdotal, but uh it's something that you wouldn't expect to see if when you hear all of the trends that we're hearing about.
Yeah, you know, I've I've got a bunch of things like this uh that I could cite to you.
For example, there's a story in the 1980, December 1st, 1980 issue of Time magazine.
It's by John Stacks.
I printed it out yesterday, six pages, where the polls went wrong.
It is it is a luscious, luscious story.
Let me hang on here just a second, Miles.
Let me give you some some uh remember this is where they had Reagan and Carter tied two days before the election.
And then all of a sudden, Reagan pulls away in a landslide.
This Time magazine story was all these polsters trying to figure out what went wrong.
What did they miss?
What didn't they catch?
And let me just give you some excerpts from this because it's just delicious.
Worthlin believes that the other polsters erred by estimating that there would be more Democrats in the final body of voters than there turned out to be.
One puzzling phenomenon is that the pollsters have not been able to cope with or even explain thoroughly is the so-called closet Reaganite.
For whatever the reason, people clearly voted for Reagan in this election who had said they would not.
The other lesson of the polling season was that the experts have by no means perfected the questions or the techniques that enable them to predict how undecided or unhappy voters will go on election day.
If the pollsters are united on one point, it is that they are not solely to blame for misleading the public.
The fault must be shared with the press, they say, which has never fully understood the limitations of surveying.
I mean, I was laughing out loud reading this.
Everybody, after the Reagan Carter election of 1986-page story time magazine, big CYA, and you had the pollsters turning on the media.
Well, the media.
Don't blame us.
The media is largely responsible for this.
They don't know how we do what we do.
Well, the media says that about themselves, everybody else.
You can't call us what we did by us.
You don't know how we do what we do.
Says Cuff Zukin, poll director for the Eagleton Institute of Politics.
We are overconsumed with predicting what'll happen.
Polls predicting who's going to win the election are worthless.
First, they can be very inaccurate at the time of the election because they're only accurate at the time they are taken.
This is a 28-year-old story that could have been written today.
Media shocked that they lost in 1980.
Polsters can't figure out why they got it wrong.
And everybody's there are a lot of undecided in these battleground states.
There are a tremendous high percentage of undecided voters.
Also, the uh this this business of of the uh of the early voters.
Listen to this story, this CBS News reporting early voters favor Obama over McCain 57 to 38.
The survey consistent with many other polls that also show that Obama is leading as election day approaches.
Although the poll shows a clear advantage for Obama, a closer look at the data reveals that much of the lead stems from a disproportionate share of traditional Democrats among early voters.
The poll, for example, samples 50% registered Democrat voters, only 30% Republican voters.
Also, women comprise 60% of the early voter poll sample, while blacks comprise 16%.
Both figures exceed the expected share of the overall pool of likely voters for the two demographic groups, and these groups tend to vote for Democrats.
Now you can you can find wherever you want to look on the internet, you can find anybody who's anybody or anybody who's nothing, who has gone back and done research and is trying to find any bit of evidence, besides anecdotal that these polls are just as wrong now as they were back in 1980.
And I do say every poll taken is so overweighted with Democrats, it is uh it's it's hilarious.
But this fits the template and the trend as well.
So you have all these early voters, and there's supposedly so many Democrats, but they're oh the the in the early polls, I don't know what this early voters favor Obama came over Obama 57 to 38%.
Now, that's uh that's 95.
Well, what about the other five percent?
These are early voters, these are people that voted.
Well, they vote for the Socialist Workers' Party, vote for the Communist Party.
What's the difference in that in the Democrat Party this time around?
Terms of agendas in terms of platforms.
So there's a there's an onslaught, folks.
It is an onslaught that is designed to make you think this is over, that you have no reason to even go vote, that it is hopeless, and yet I'm gonna bring Miles back in.
Miles, you still there?
Yeah.
Okay, so you give us this uh you you say that the story you told a moment ago is not anecdotal.
Well, it is anecdotal because I mean I'm talking to you know, I'm talking to students, you know, just in passing and whatever else.
Right.
And you know, and I'm hearing, and I'm asking, you know, I ask the students, oh, you know, what are you thinking and this and that, and I don't want to go into politics in the classroom because I don't believe it belongs there.
And I tell them, you vote for whoever you want to.
I'm not I'm an educator.
I'm not here to sway you, which is odd in itself.
But uh part of the you you bring up a good point, I want to interject it, is the way the question or how the question is that I'm a behavioral scientist, and I can get the polls or the survey to go any direction I want, and that's part of what I teach my students.
You can get people to believe whatever you want and get the results you want by how you ask the question.
See, that to me is more interesting than the anecdotal this group's got people in it not gonna vote for Obama.
I am more interested in why people are gonna vote for the guy.
That's what the uh take party loyalty out of it.
And after that, I am mystified.
And that's what has me concerned.
What has me concerned?
Obama's Obama.
We know who Obama is, but so damn many of our fellow citizens appear Not to.
You know, if if I have, you know, a great concern here, it's the makeup of the population of this country.
If all this rot gut pre-election polling turns out to be accurate, and if this turns out to be an Obama landslide, it's not enough to say that this is simply an angry reaction to George W. Bush.
It's not, it's not enough to say that this people want to throw the bums out.
Because there's far and I know he's tailored his message.
I mean, he th I saw a poll the other day.
Get this.
Rasmussen, Rasmussen.
He said we cannot ignore the fact that in the polling, a majority of Americans think that Obama is going to cut their taxes and McCain won't.
And where's that come from?
The 95% remark.
95% of Americans are going to get tax cut.
We'll find out soon enough, my friends.
It's just what, 30 some odd hours away now?
Brief time out.
We'll be right back and continue.
Don't go away.
All right.
Uh Fox News, the latest poll, final poll before the election.
Fox News poll is out, and it has Obama 50 to 43 percent.
However, there's something interesting in this poll.
You go nuts finding this stuff all over the place.
You can you can literally lose your mind.
Obama's lead among those who say they have already voted has almost disappeared.
He has a one-point edge, 4847 in the Fox poll of early voters.
That's down from a 52 to 43 percent lead previously when last time they polled, the early voters was October 28th and 29th.
So here's another myth.
The early voters are all Democrats and they can't, and they're voting for Obama, and that's it, and it's over.
And now it's it's a one-point lead among the early voters if you want to use the Fox poll from uh opinion dynamics.
Here's Lorraine in San Diego.
Hi Lorraine, nice to have you on the program.
Welcome.
Hi, well, Rush, um, on this election eve, I'm gonna put on my commentator hat today and provide you with my election day predictions.
But first, Rush, I'd like to remind and refresh the memory of conservatives listening today that Rush Limbaugh had warned you people that John McCain was a setup and what the handpicked candidate that Democrats like me wanted to run against, so many Democrats have crossed over uh to vote for McCain during the primary uh to assure that he received a nomination, and then of course Operation Chaos happened after that.
Just want to remind you people.
So here here's my prediction, Rush.
Wait a minute, Lorraine.
Hang on a minute.
I'm trying to I'm still trying to digest the central point here of what you're what are you you blaming me for something here?
Oh no, I'm I'm saying that you no, you're you're the really you're the one who's tried to alert everyone.
You warned conservatives and Republican Party that John McCain was not the genuine candidate, but he was the candidate that was picked by Democrats.
Because and the Democrats would not vote for him in the general.
Right, right.
Well, I'm not I'm not prepared to concede your point, Lorraine, that's a landslide in the making tomorrow.
Well, I don't know if it's gonna be a landslide, but here's my prediction.
Obama wins it tomorrow, uh, because John McCain would have to run the board in order to win, including let's get this.
He's gonna get about a he needs about a hundred percent of the uncidety.
He's got to take Colorado, Florida, Ohio, and speaker, Virginia, Missouri, Arizona, and Pennsylvania.
And since Obama is currently holding all the states run by Kerry, I mean, this is a uh amazing.
Obama need only win one of those states rush in order to be president.
But there is a wild card left.
Well, Lorraine, what is your uh source material that gave you this knowledge?
Where were where does it come from that uh McCain has to run the table?
Well, I looked at the um a lot of the uh analyzing from uh associated press, also MSNBC and the R. Oh, I see.
I say so you are using the polls as reported by the drive by media.
Now I've seen some of Fox stuff too, but he does have a wild card rush.
You want to know what that is?
Fox Fox is Fox's one element here.
So you're going you're so you're you're buying into the notion here that McCain has to run the table because Obama is ahead in every battleground state.
Uh-huh.
And he's and nobody can run the table in all these battleground states.
So it's it's over.
Yeah, but there is a wild card.
Now let me tell you what that is.
McCain, the wild card that McCain has here, sadly, is racism.
Now that's all McCain has left.
And this is what I mean by that.
If a large enough McCain has to hope that a large enough portion of voters, the American people are going to vote against Barack Obama simply because he's black.
Well, now, see, Lorraine X, here's the thing.
This is the thing about this.
You just got through citing the polls.
You credit them with validity in saying McCain has to run a table and oh, we got a caveat.
They got a caveat.
There's a lot of racism, you're talking about the Bradley effect.
You are thus saying the polls really can't be trusted, even though you trust them that McCain's got to run the table.
That's why I say this is not over.
Another exciting hour of broadcast excellence lurks on the other side of an obscene profit timeout.
