Time Text
Welcome to today's edition of The Rush 24-7 Podcast.
Reports out of the White House.
Well, no, uh, Camp David.
Obama's at Camp David prepping for the debate tonight.
Word out of the White House is that they're not convinced Obama's still undecided on whether or not the attack at Pearl Harbor was just a Japanese training exercise that went wrong.
The jury is still out as far as the Obama campaign's concerned of what happened at Pearl Harbor.
Hi, folks, by the CBS News and uh uh uh another guy Bing West or is it Ping East?
Because somebody at National Review Online is saying, you know, shouldn't we have maybe launched counter strike?
Shouldn't we maybe have had U.S. forces in action?
Um more on that as the program unfolds.
Hi folks, great to have you here.
It is the beginning of a brand new big busy broadcast week here at the EIB Network, the Limbaugh Institute for Advanced Conservative Studies, telephone number 800 282882, and the email address L Rushbaugh at EIBNet.com right on schedule, right on schedule, and as predicted.
Yesterday, a news flash from the Wall Street Journal.
Guess what?
The election is now tied in the NBC Wall Street Journal poll, the poll that has had Obama up five with Democrat samples of plus nine and plus ten.
Guess what?
The race for the White House is exactly as I predicted and right on your schedule, as we are now two weeks away in this poll, the race is tied.
As the pollsters now start accounting for reality.
We're getting close to the election, and the pollsters want, of course, their final polls to be as close to the real outcome as possible.
So the days of attempting to shift and move public opinion are now dwindling in uh in place of the polls reflecting public opinion.
There's still a little attempt to manipulate it though.
The um the the Gallup poll, as of yesterday, Romney back up at seven points, 5245.
And so today, Reuters is out with a story attacking Gallup.
Yeah.
Yes, indeed, ladies and gentlemen, Reuters is out attacking Gallup and their methodology.
Uh it's just it's it's funny to watch this.
The big debate tonight, foreign policy debate, moderated from Jurassic Park by Bob Schiefer of uh CBS News Foreign Policy.
Also tonight we got Chicago Bears and the Detroit Lions on Monday Night Football.
And over on Fox, we've got baseball.
We got the Cardinals and the Giants and a winner-take all for the World Series to face the Detroit Tigers.
Yeah, uh there are some people undecided here about what to TVO and what to watch live.
And it'll be interesting.
Uh we've had debate audiences around 60 million, 60, 65 million, and we'll see what we uh what we get tonight with uh with this final debate on foreign polity.
And of course, how about minding my own business yesterday, as I usually do, in fact, I really don't bother people.
Uh sitting around minding my own business, and here comes this uh this news story.
Well what the news uh news Oh, yeah, that um uh the the regime had made a deal with the Iranians to end sanctions in exchange for the Iranians suspending their nukes.
And I looked at that, maybe that was Saturday.
I forget the days of the weekend uh run together.
I looked at that and I said, well, it's now obvious if it wasn't before who the Iranians want to be elected.
And in fact, Ahmadini Zad has endorsed Obama.
Fidel Castro from his deathbed has endorsed um uh Obama and who else?
That's right, Hugo Chavez, Hugo Chavez.
Now, it wasn't that long ago.
Endorsements like this would kill you.
Endorsements like this would embarrass you.
If you're running for president and the leader of a communist regime in Cuba that imprisons people and murders them, endorsed you, it'd be death.
An endorsement of Fidel Castro literally would have been death.
Achmed in his ad an endorsement from the leading terror sponsor of the world would have meant the end of your case.
You to run around trying to deflect it.
And then of course Hugo Chavez, today, apparently.
I still think it matters, you just don't see news about it.
I still think that if more people found out that these three dictators, totalitarians are endorsing Obama.
I mean, how ridiculous is that.
Probably privately, probably called Reverend Rice and said, hey, Rev, America's chickens.
Willie Brown, the former Speaker of the California Assembly when I lived in Sacramento, he And the former mayor of San Francisco wrote a column over the weekend in which she talked about the black vote.
The black vote got to get it out.
Black president, Democrats starts minus five anyway because of the black vote, but it's got to be overcome.
And so he says that Obama called Reverend Wright.
In a column this weekend that Obama called Reverend Wright to discuss ways of inspiring and motivating the black vote.
The regime today is denying that Obama called Reverend Wright.
They're calling Willie Brown, well, I'm not calling him a liar, but essentially they are.
They're not using the word.
They're saying that his honor is mistaken on this, but I know Willie Brown.
I've met Willie Brown uh a number of times, had cocktails with uh Willie Brown once at Frank Fats, which is the popular political hangout right near the Capitol Sacramento.
And uh I appeared with him on a forum at Michael Milken's Institute a couple of years ago at the Beverly Hilton.
And he's uh what he does not make stuff up.
That's he doesn't have to.
Willie Brown, he can be wrong about things, but he doesn't make things up.
And he wrote of this as though it was no big deal, in fact.
It was it was a throwaway line at the end of a paragraph that did not receive a whole lot of emphasis, even the way he wrote it.
But the regime was right there to bat that down.
Obama did not call Reverend Wright, because everybody knows that they're best buds, everybody knows Obama went to his church, everybody knows this, these denials.
Uh only fool some people.
Now let's let's stick with the polling data.
Stay with the polling data.
NBC, I love this.
Here's the way the Wall Street Journal reported it, and it was uh this this after months and months of polling with Democrat samples of plus eight and plus eleven.
A late surge in support for Mitt Romney has put him in a dead heat with President Obama just over two weeks ago, according to a new Wall Street Journal NBC news poll released on Sunday among likely voters the candidates are now tied, 47 to 47 in a race that appears on track to be one of the closest in U.S. history.
Remember now, this poll, what are they a late surge in support for Romney?
Wait a minute.
This after the second debate where Obama was supposed to have the bounce.
After the second debate where Obama's supposed to have the bounce, they put this story out saying after a late surge in support for Romney.
But there's something fascinating about this poll, ladies.
As you know, Obama is not talking about his second term agenda.
By design and on purpose, he is not talking about it, and you and I know why.
He's not talking about it because he doesn't dare.
He doesn't dare admit there aren't going to be any fundamental changes.
He doesn't dare ad he doesn't come close to it.
And there's a re folks, he he he wants to be able, and I look at this is gonna sound strange to you, but that's only because you don't know liberals like I know liberals.
After the if he wins, after the election, if he wins, and starts implementing this this trail of destruction that he's going to continue on.
People are going to say, wait a minute, you never said any of this.
He's not that I didn't lie to you.
I didn't, I didn't lie.
I I didn't, I didn't tell you that I wasn't going to do this.
It's the way they look at it.
Look at it as a mandate to continue this if he's elected by not naming a second term agenda and he wins.
He pretty much can say that his current agenda is being endorsed.
However, there's a problem.
And it's in the same NBC News Wall Street Journal poll.
There's a question in that poll in the internals.
I have it right here.
My formerly nicotine-stained fingers.
If re-elected, do you want President Obama to make major changes?
62% say yes.
62% of the respondents in the poll say that they do not want more of the same.
62% of a poll that has Obama and Romney tied at 47, 62% say they want a change in direction for the country.
If that's true, Obama's toast.
Why would anybody vote for a guy who's not discussing his second term agenda when they want a change?
Why would you vote for a guy who is if if if 62% of the American people want a change, you have to assume they're unhappy with what's happening now.
And you also have to assume they're not blaming George Bush for it.
You would have to assume that most people are going to associate the wrong direction with Obama.
So if you're going to answer a poll question, if re-elected you want Obama to make changes, 62%, yes, why risk it?
Is the guy campaigning on change?
Not anymore.
Not running on hope and change.
All he's running on is that Romney's a reprobate.
And whatever shocking news, Glory Olrid wants to make up.
Well, there's supposedly some bombshell she has coming up.
From every indication, it's old news.
It's about a 25-year-old story involving uh Romney and a woman and an abortion that's been out there before.
But anyway, I think this is a major, major 62% want major changes in the NBC Wall Street Journal poll.
That indicates Romney and Obama tied at 47.
And I just using logic, why would you vote for the incumbent if you want major change?
Major change, they said major changes.
That means at best, 38% of the people like what's going.
That's at best.
This doesn't count for any don't know's or didn't answer.
Now there's another poll out there.
And this is the Quinnipiac University CBS News poll in Ohio.
Now, the first thing you need to know about this poll is the sample.
Democrat, 35.
Republican, 26.
Independent, 34.
That means that in this poll of Ohio, now keep this in mind for the data that follows here.
The Quinnipiac University CBS News poll, the Democrats are plus nine in this sample.
What that means is that the poll sample assumes Democrat turnout two weeks from today, 9% higher than Republican turnout.
Now in 2008, same poll, same state.
Well, not the poll, the actual, the actual uh uh turnout, the actual turnout, according to exit polling data.
39 Democrat, 31 Republican, 2008.
So there were eight points, more Democrats than Republicans.
They've given it nine points.
They added a point to it.
Did anybody think that the same structure in terms of turnouts going to happen in 2010, the midterms?
Let's look at that.
Same poll, Quinnip XCBS.
The midterms, 2010, turnout was 36 Democrat, 37 Republican.
With a one-point Republican advantage in Ohio, there was a landslide against the Democrats in Ohio.
Okay, so now you know that.
The news in this poll is this.
President Obama is holding on to a five-point lead over Mitt Romney in Ohio.
But that margin has been cut in half since September, according to Quinnipia CBS.
Obama has a 50 to 45 lead over Romney among likely voters in Ohio, down from 53 to 43 on September 26.
3% undecided.
There's also a gender gap.
And that's what's happening everywhere is the trend is what you look at.
We came up with a word last week to describe it, MIT Mentum.
I now see that word all over the internet.
Kind of like Gorbazm.
Came up with that and then that ended up all over the internet.
Mitt Mentum, it's everywhere.
It's in Oregon.
Mitt Mentum is in Pennsylvania.
I'm hearing today that Obama's pulled out of Florida, but that doesn't surprise me.
Florida's been decided along with North Carolina.
No, North Carolina, they're pulling out of North Carolina, sorry.
Soon to pull out of Florida.
Florida, North Carolina, Virginia gone.
Colorado in play, according to Rasmussen.
You don't believe that?
Colorado, according to Rasmussen, absolutely.
Got it here somewhere.
Colorado's in play, according to Rasmus.
Oregon.
Oregon, now, I'm don't.
I'm not saying Obama is going to lose Oregon.
I'm telling you that people are looking at Oregon and saying, hmm, maybe mentum has spread.
There might be.
Oregon might be, could be, don't know.
It's too soon to say, obviously, but it's not an Obama slam dunk yet, according to polling data, according to the trends.
Which is what you look at.
Okay, gotta take a break.
We come back, I'll tell you about Reuters attacking Gallup.
And there's much more, folks.
We've just barely scratched the surface.
In the NBC Wall Street Journal poll, by the way, the Democrat sample was 32, Republican 26.
Independent 39.
That means that there was a oversampling of Democrats by 6%.
This is in the poll that now has them tied at 47%.
Exactly as I told you was going to happen.
I had a note from my brother.
It's uncanny how you know this stuff.
No it's not.
I understand how these people...
I know liberals.
You can too.
It isn't that hard.
It really isn't.
It was, it was, there was, there was no way a poll that shows a Democrat sample of 10 or 11 with Obama beating Romney by six or seven points at election.
That's never been accurate.
Common sense.
In addition, Rasmussen, Colorado, New Hampshire, Ohio.
Obama leads by one point.
That is Romney trending up.
Obama leads by two in Iowa and Wisconsin, three in Nevada, five in Pennsylvania, seven in Michigan.
Romney leads by three in Virginia, and five in Florida, six North Carolina.
The three states are Virginia, Florida, Ohio.
If Obama wins two of those, this is according to Rasmussen.
Rasmussen says of Ohio, Florida, Virginia, if if uh Obama wins two of them, he's re-elected.
Those are the three.
Right now, Romney, Virginia, and Florida are in his he's leading.
And don't Susquehanna polling pulled out of North Carolina, Florida, and Virginia saying it's over there.
It leaves Ohio.
And the real question is: is there a path to victory for Romney if Obama wins Ohio?
That's really the question.
And of course, there is.
And now, ladies and gentlemen, another brief obscene profit timeout.
Sit tight.
We will be back.
Yeah, I had a verbal dyslexia.
I said Susquehanna has pulled out of North Carolina, Virginia, Florida.
That's of course Suffolk University.
You knew what I meant.
I mean, this slips in the tongue.
Susquehanna's the polling outfit that shows Romney up five or up four in Pennsylvania.
Welcome back, folks.
Rush Limbaugh meeting and surpassing all audience expectations.
Every day.
Andy Sullivan for Reuters.
The election between Obama and Romney looks like it'll be a knucklebiter unless you go by one of the most respected public opinion polls.
As most surveys show Obama and Romney locked in a virtual dead heat, Gallup finds that Romney would win by six points if the election were held today.
Do you ever recall?
I don't.
Maybe you do.
Do you ever recall a news agency questioning another poll?
Do you remember when Obama had an 11-point lead?
Anybody questioning that poll?
Any other news agency?
We, of course, did.
When NBC News Wall Street Journal had Obama up 10 or whatever it was with these wildly Democrat samples, do you remember Reuters writing a story questioning that result?
I don't.
And you know why?
Because it didn't happen.
ABC has not questioned CBS.
CBS is not questioned NBC.
The Wall Street Journal is not questioned itself.
Reuters hasn't challenged anybody else until today.
That now Reuters is attacking Gallup for showing Romney with a six-point lead.
Now, they they repeat the charge that Axelrod and the rest of the Obama campaign have been making against Gallup.
And that charge is that Gallup is not weighting the results enough to account for minorities.
You remember when Gallup first started showing Romney way up, Axelrod got into gear and threatened well, went to the Department of Justice.
We're going to sue these guys, or we're going to investigate these guys at Gallup.
This is not right.
Because they're suppressing the black vote.
They're not weighting the minority vote properly.
So Gallup made some adjustments.
After being threatened by Axelrod and having the Department of Justice join a lawsuit against them.
Gallup has adjusted its weighting to account for a minority turnout even higher than there was in 2008.
And even after that, they still have Romney up by what is it, six or seven.
And then Reuters goes on to repeat the Obama campaign complaints about Gallup's likely voters' screening questions.
But the head of Gallup, who was talked to about this.
No, no, our questions actually favor the Democrats.
So no matter what Gallup does, they just can't win.
But I've not seen this before.
I've not seen one news agency attack another outfit for its poll results.
But Reuters is right in there.
We know where Reuters is.
Let's go to the audio sound bites and let's listen to some NBC Obama campaign workers discussing the latest NBC Wall Street Journal poll.
One of Obama's lead campaign advisors is F. Chuck Todd.
He was on uh Meet the Press yesterday, and the host David Gregory, who is another leading campaign aide for Obama.
And Gregory said, uh, brand new this morning, latest NBC News Wall Street Journal poll on where the race stands.
Let's go right to my colleague and fellow Obama campaign advisor, Chuck Todd.
Chuck, you got the numbers.
And Chuck, this is significant.
Chuck, we're in trouble here, right, buddy?
Look at this.
This is among likely voters, David, 47-47.
Now, not all tied races are equal.
The president sitting at 47.
If this were the Sunday before election day, there would be a lot of concerns in Chicago.
They want to be at 48 or 49.
Sitting at 47 is a good number for a challenger, not a good number for an incumbent.
When's he a when's he been above that?
He still hasn't hit 50 in these polls.
That's the magic number for an incumbent.
Okay.
So after F. Chuck says that 47%'s not a good number for an incumbent, he continued.
Let's go inside the numbers a little bit.
The gender gap among men, Romney, a 10-point lead.
Let's go to women.
This is interesting.
President, an eight-point lead here.
This is actually his smallest lead among women that we've had all year long.
A few other things inside the numbers here, David.
In the Midwest, Romney a narrow lead, but way inside the margin of air.
And among all the collective battleground states, a little bit of a lead for Mitt Romney.
It's amazing how this happened.
Because then none of this was true just last week.
And the week before that.
And the week before that.
Then last month, none of this was true in the NBC Wall Street Journal poll.
But now look at this.
Everything trending Romney.
Isn't it fascinating how that happens as we get closer to the election?
And don't forget, same poll.
F. Chuck didn't tell you this.
If re-elected, do you want President Obama to make major changes?
62% say yes.
That's almost the same thing as saying 62% don't want Obama.
62% want major changes.
That is major, folks.
That's and that's not I haven't seen this reported anywhere.
I'm not saying it hasn't been.
I just there's some networks I don't watch anymore, as you know, by design and on purpose.
But it's you know, it's an interesting question for a pollster to ask anyway.
I mean, how would you conceive of such a question?
You're sitting there, you're in the tank for Obama, you love Obama, you think uh uh Obama's the greatest thing, sliced bread Obama, Obama, Obama.
Why would you even think to ask the respondents in your poll if you didn't know that things were trending away from your guy?
Why would you ask?
He wants some changes in what Obama's doing.
It's not a question born of confidence, and it is directly attachable to the hard cold reality that Obama is not detailing a second-term agenda.
So you add all this up, that 62% number is big.
And then you add it with all the other internals.
F. Chuck is uh worried about gender gap, Romney 10-point lead.
Uh Obama's lead in women smaller than ever.
Romney up everywhere else, and again, 62 percent want major changes if Obama's re-elected.
Uh that just doesn't even argue for Obama's re-election.
So that's that.
Here's Scott Rasmussen.
He was on uh America's newsroom today.
Bill Hammer on Fox.
And Hemer said national matchups.
What do you have for us, Scott, between Romney and Obama?
49 percent for Romney, 47 percent for Obama, very significantly.
This is exactly the same as what we showed going into the second debate.
Governor Robbie Gain drought after the first debate, President Obama had a better performance and stopped his slide but didn't turn things around.
4947.
Uh I didn't know that.
I th I thought I didn't, I didn't know that Romney had ever led an Erasmus.
I thought it was always tied or Obama by one.
But Rasmussen would know it's uh it's his poll.
And and then Hemmer says, look, you're finding uh what now in Colorado, Scott.
Well, all through the year it's been very, very close.
A few weeks ago, President Obama was up by a single point.
But as of this morning, Mitt Romney leading by four in Colorado.
That's the biggest lead we've found for either candidate all year.
And it's driven by the fact that people in Colorado are starting to think that Mitt Romney might be better at handling the economy.
I'm sorry.
I just don't believe people are just now.
I mean, I'll take it, but I don't believe people are just now figuring that out.
I can't prove it.
Obviously, we have to go with what the polling data says here from Rasmussen, but I think people have figured Obama doesn't know what he's doing in the economy for two years.
I think that's why the 2010 midterms turned out the way they did.
John Harris at Politico.
This guy could be the media campaign director for Obama.
John Harris at Politico on the weekend, Chris Matthews syndicated show.
Uh talking about the debates, and uh Harris and Matthew Zenate, and they said this.
Obama clearly won the second debate, but I so far at least we haven't seen the dramatic swing in the poll debate.
He didn't knock him out.
Obama got knocked out in the first debate.
He didn't knock the other guy out in the second debate.
It was a points to it was a points thing.
Yeah, it was on points.
Obama won the second debate, but we haven't seen that in the polling debate.
Well, then maybe he didn't win it, you idi uh you uh guys.
Listen to well, Obama clearly won the second debate, but so far we haven't seen the dramatic swing in the polls.
Maybe he didn't.
In the minds and hearts of real people who watch this thing.
Maybe he didn't.
Matthews, wait it knock him out.
Didn't knock him out.
Obama got knocked out in the first.
Well, it was on points.
Oh, we're back to that now.
He won on points.
It's my contention that Obama did not gain a single vote by virtue of his second debate performance.
He might have shored up his base, who wanted to hear some hatred and vitriol and anger.
And by the same token, I don't think Romney lost any votes because of his performance in the second debate.
These guys can talk about points all they want.
But points are not votes.
And these guys even know that.
We'll be back.
I mentioned at the top of the program an interesting report from CBS News today from Cheryl Atkison, actually Saturday morning on it's a she's the investigator.
She is a lone wolf at CBS News in terms of investigating the regime.
She's got some fascinating stuff on why when Ben Ghazzi was happening.
And I want to develop that a little bit more, but we're gonna go grab some phone calls first.
Here is uh Sonny in Seattle.
It's great to have you on the EIB network.
Hello.
Thank you.
I just called to say thank you.
My husband and I got home yesterday from a 17-day hiking trip in the Himalayas.
We had no access to news, so we missed both the vice president and the second presidential debate.
But we're 24-7 members.
So as soon as we got internet, we downloaded all the programs for the past few weeks.
We listened to your podcasts on our cell phone the entire twenty-hour flight home from Bhutan.
Now we're all caught up, and we're ready for tonight's debate.
And by the way, what you know has not been corrupted or polluted by the drive-bys in the tank for Obama.
You've got the straight skinny on what happened.
Well, and we knew we could count on that, so that's why we did it that way.
And we would have our we have a splitter, and we were both listening off of one cell phone.
You know, we had our headphones in, and you would say something, we would both bust out laughing.
We're sitting up there on the plane and it's pitch dark and quiet, everybody's asleep, and we're laughing out loud because of your very, very shrewd commentary.
We just really loved it.
So you were hiking in the Himalayas and you had a 20, did you say 20 hour flight home?
Yes.
Well, if you count all the legs, you know, Bhutan to Tokyo, Tokyo to Seattle, yeah.
All right.
So it wasn't, it wasn't twenty hours nonstop.
Oh, no, no, no.
But it was just as bad because you know you barely had any time to stretch in between the next leg.
I hope you're flying business or first.
Well we certainly did.
I I met a gentleman many years ago who told me, Sonny, if you don't fly first class, your heirs will.
Yeah, I uh I love that.
I absolutely love that.
That if you don't fly first class your heirs for those of your real industry means people that would inherit the estate when they pass away.
That means spend it now.
Don't leave it for others.
I love that.
Well you you've you've made my day here.
I uh I really appreciate it.
What do you listen to the podcast now?
What kind of phone do you have?
Well uh I can't say because it's not the I word.
Well you can say I mean there's okay um I have a Samsung Galaxy and I and I really love it.
Well you really yeah we love it.
Yeah we love it.
But that's it.
How much did they pay you to uh to buy it pardon me?
How much did they pay you to to walk out of the store but you know I'm old now Rush and that screen is really big and I like that big I know and I'm just kidding I have all the admiration of the world for Samsung I just I just couldn't resist.
It's all the size of the screen I'm uh the older I get the bigger the screen needs to be for me.
Well to each his own that's the great thing about the free market what you want's available.
That's true.
That's true.
So this I will tell you today is my husband's birthday.
This will make his day that I got to talk to you thank you so much.
That's really really nice of you.
I I appreciate it and thank you for the uh for the plug for the podcast.
I I don't I don't spend enough time talking about all of the internet services that we provide but let me just for a brief moment here.
At the end of every program we have available both from our website and from iTunes podcasts of each day's show and they're separated by hours.
The first hour, second hour, third hour and they are of course without commercials we don't sell commercial time in the podcasts and they're up and available for download within thirty minutes after the program and they are free with a subscription at Rush 247.
Uh there is so much value at our website and I'm really remiss in not talking now we've gone digital with the Limbaugh letter that's its own app now the Limbaugh letter which is the most widely read published political newsletter in the country.
That's where I relent and interview people.
Once a month.
That's my job, is to interview somebody for the Limbaugh letter.
And we've just now gone digital.
We've got an app for that.
And it's free the rest of the year and three prior issues this year to let everybody know about the publication.
So whatever is up there on the app now is free for the remainder of the year.
three previous issues limbaugh letter the name of the app and uh it's at the uh at the iTunes app uh app store Russell Tampa Florida thank you for calling sir great to have you on the EIB network hi.
How are you doing today?
Good, good, good, good.
Thank you.
I'm looking at these polls and these heavily Democrat-weighted poll samples and wondering if the media is going to try to use those to tarnish or delegitimize a Romney president.
I think Romney's going to win.
And I'm thinking, you know, with all the accusations of Republican voter suppression, if after a Romney win, the media came in and said, well, you know, the Democrat voter turnout was much lower, obviously.
There isn't.
There isn't any Republican voters.
But the other way around...
I know that.
What I'm saying is that they would use the polls with these heavy Democrat samples after the election to come out and say, well, the Democrat turnout was lighter, therefore that is a result of Republican suppression.
No, I don't think...
They tried that with the exit polling in 2004.
But, no, I think the reason for these large samples has been to try to secure...
an Obama victory, not to explain a Romney victory.
It's been purely aggressive on purpose to try to suppress Republican vote.
Not at all.
No, no, no.
I wouldn't be surprised at all if Obama has a surge in the Gallup poll.
I wouldn't be surprised if I wouldn't be look, Axelrod has been pressuring these people from I don't know how long.
They're the only poll showing Romney way ahead.
If if Gallup, say after tonight's debate, reverses this and Romney's only up one or two the next days or two, you imagine what that'll do to the Romney momentum.
The media will harp all over it.
So keep a sharp eye, folks.
