Gov Palin and Rush
Posted: September 6th, 2008, 9:23 am
I have not been able to listen to any of Rush's radio shows this week but he was on the After hours show on Fox.
He seems to be thrilled but one thing he said surprised me.
Here is an excerpt.;

VAN SUSTEREN: From Senator Obama's point of view, do you think Senator Biden was a really good strategic choice for the Democratic Party?
LIMBAUGH: Well, he can dream all he wants. You know, I don't really mean to sound critical, I mean, I don't understand the choice at all. Here's a guy who was run out of the Democrat presidential race in 1988 for plagiarism and a number of other things. Here's a guy who barely got what -- 2 percent or 3 percent in Iowa this year. I don't get. I think it was a pick of weakness. It was an admission that Obama doesn't have a clue on foreign policy. And I'm going to tell you -- this was funny, too. Greta. I had to laugh at this. Earlier this week, there were Internet sites that take (INAUDIBLE) on public events so we can place a bet -- there were some people in the media speculating how long it would be before McCain dropped Palin. I think the question is going to be -- how long is it going to be before Obama figures out he needs somebody besides Biden on the ticket because this isn't going -- it's totally backfiring. Sarah Palin is the change that Obama has been talking about but she's on the other ticket.
VAN SUSTEREN: Do you really think there's a chance that Senator Obama would dump Senator Biden from the ticket at this point?
LIMBAUGH: Well, it wouldn't happen that way . There would be some unfortunate reason for this to happen. I guarantee you. Look, I saw, I saw, I watched all the networks -- when the drive-by media supporting Obama starts speculating as I saw last night -- "Maybe do you think he should have put Hillary on the ticket" -- that tells me that they're already talking about it behind closed doors in the Obama campaign.
I can't predict the future but, you know, as badly as they want to win -- you've got to understand their mindset, they thought this was a coronation, this was slam-dunk. They're going to win the White House 60- 40, in the landslide, they're going to win the House and the Senate, and now, they are totally discombobulated. They don't know what to do, where to go. The bloom is off of the rose. In one poll today, pre-Palin, pre-Palin. It was tied. Fifty to 49, 49 to 49, whatever it is, this is not where they expected to be. And that kind of shock sends them reeling. This is -- think of Wellstone Memorial 2002.
That's where they are here. They thought they were going to slam-dunk with that performance and they ended up impending and infuriating Americans all over the country who really didn't care much about politics in some cases and they're doing the same thing here with their attack on Sarah Palin and their arrogant condescension that they are the ones, the majority of America ns agree with them. You know, you have to make that happen. You don't just get out of bed and it happens. And they live this myth and this lie that they're the power, that they're the majority, it isn't true. And it's going to be proven out again here in November.
