RUSH: All right, we're going to get to the Democrat Stack now, and everybody's wondering, you know, it goes back and forth. ABC's The Note today says, you run the math, according to the polling data for future races, future primaries and cauci, it is conceivable that neither Obama nor Hillary will have enough pledged delegates after the primaries to claim the mantle as nominee, which then turns it over to two things, the superdelegates and whether or not to seat the delegates from Florida and Michigan....

RUSH: Mary, I got 55 seconds. Can you do this in 55 seconds? Good.CALLER: Yes, I can. I think the conservatives need to pimp ourselves for one day. Those would be Texas and Ohio conservatives, and let us just take the Clintons out by having them vote for Obama. We have our candidate. The country needs to get rid of these people.RUSH: Some people would say to you it would be much easier to defeat Hillary in a general than Obama and get rid of her then.CALLER: She's a criminal, and I don't...

RUSH: Mrs. Clinton this afternoon, Lordstown, Ohio, sort of took off the gloves going after Obama.HILLARY: Speeches don't put food on the table. Speeches don't fill up your tank. Speeches don't fill your prescriptions, or do anything about that stack of bills that keeps you up at night. That's the difference between me and my Democratic opponent. My opponent makes speeches. I offer solutions. There's a lot of talk in his campaign about what kind of change he'll bring. Well, you know, change...

RUSH: I have to tell you something. I gave away a Select Comfort Bed yesterday. Now, that was a nice gesture. It was a call from a military wife who had been at Camp Lejeune but now she and her husband -- he had gotten back from Iraq, I think, six weeks ago, and they live in Louisville. So, I gave her some flowers from ProFlowers, a little Valentine's Day bouquet, to get her husband off the hook; and a Select Comfort Bed. It was like a nice thing to do, right? So I checked the e-mail when I get...

RUSH: Patterson, California. Hi, Clyde. Nice to have you with us on the EIB Network. CALLER: Hi, Rush! Mega dittos, you narcissistic genius, you. RUSH: (laughing) CALLER: Hey, what prompted my call is yesterday somebody called in and was giving McCain -- he wasn't going to vote for McCain because of McCain-Feingold. Well, George Bush signed that into law, and I think even Fred Thompson voted for it, and it just seems to me like, I don't know, plenty of Republicans supported that, too, and I'm...

RUSH: The Drive-By Media, ladies and gentlemen, two days later is still fascinated with my claim that I am actually the greatest asset Senator McCain has. Because were I to endorse him -- said I -- it would send all the moderates and the independents and the liberals that are supporting him scurrying away, such is their dislike, their hate, their loathing for me. So this is being discussed still on the cable shows. Morning Joe today, Joe Scarborough had Mary Matalin on as a guest on the phone....

RUSH: Mark McKinnon is the former adman for George W. Bush. George McKinnon left the Bush administration midway through the second term, after 2006. Mark McKinnon joined McCain. He's a Democrat -- a former Democrat; maybe still a Democrat. I'm not sure about that. But he joined the McCain campaign as its adman, image maker and so forth, and Mark McKinnon has said... Here it is, in his own words. He was on All Things Considered yesterday on NPR talking to the hostette, Michele Norris. She said,...

RUSH: Yesterday, as you know, we were somewhat celebratory here. We were somewhat celebratory over the Senate Democrats caving on the new FISA bill that contained provisions to grant immunity to telecommunications companies that had previously cooperated with the government in efforts to surveil bad people who intend harm to the United States, i.e., terrorists overseas. The Senate passed it. The House of Representatives, if what everybody is hearing turns out to be true, will recess tomorrow...

RUSH: I want to wish everybody a Happy Valentine's Day today. There are more wacko stories on Valentine's Day today than I can remember in a long time. There is an online resting place now for broken hearts. New York City has a new condom campaign, and we have the audio of the little slogan, the ad that they're using here in New York City, and we are, by the way, still here, high atop the EIB Building in Midtown Manhattan. "New Yorkers are being encouraged to 'get some' on Valentine's Day....
