RUSH: I just want to run this by you. Did the Republican candidates seem feistier last night? They did. Did they seem less programmed to you last night? Did there seem to be more diversity up there? For example, if you examine one of our debates, we can have an anti-war candidate. We have one, Ron Paul. The Democrats cannot have a pro-war candidate on their stage.

Story #1: Ethiopian Cook for Oprah/Obama Fundraiser RUSH: Seems Oprah has this big bash going on out there at her big estate in Montecito, which is Santa Barbara, for Barack Obama.
