CAVUTO: She is a conservative dream thus far -- and, boy, doesn't Rush Limbaugh know it. Now he has been talking up the Alaskan governor for some time now. In Rush's words, and I quote, "Babies. Guns. Jesus. Hot damn!" I spoke to the radio talk show host just moments ago.RUSH: She has turned the election upside-down, Neil. She has united a convention. She has united the Republican base. The Republican base, conservative base is more excited and happier than it has been in 14 years, since the...

RUSH: Here's Sophia from Perry Hall, Maryland. Welcome to the program.CALLER: Hi. This is Sophia from Perry Hall.RUSH: Hi, Sophia, this is the state, by the way, where Bob Wexler lives while he represents Florida.CALLER: (laughing) Right. Well, let me tell you, I am ebulliently going to push the lever for John McCain. This morning I had homemade stickers all over my car. I am so excited for Sarah. She threw down the gauntlet. She's telling Nancy Pelosi, she's telling Sally Quinn, and she's...

RUSH: Joe Biden spent another day in Florida, I guess this was yesterday. The day before he was in West Palm Beach, across the bridge, speaking to 1,200, 1,500 people over there. It might have been 1,700, I forget the number. But that was the appearance where he ripped into Social Security and said, "We're going to keep the word 'security' in it. We're not going to put the word 'private' in it," and the mayor of West Palm Beach, Lois Frankel, got up and said, "There ain't going to be any more...

RUSH: On PBS coverage of the Republican National Convention, speechwriter and historian Richard Norton Smith had this to say about the Sarah Palin speech.SMITH: This will be a huge hit among Rush Limbaugh Republicans. It will be fascinating to know if this plays as well among particularly independent voters out there who are watching this convention, to find out not only what this party is against -- we heard a lot about that tonight -- but what they're for.RUSH: David Brooks of the New York...

RUSH: This morning, Good Morning America, Diane Sawyer had this exchange with Cindy McCain.SAWYER: When you hear Rush Limbaugh calling her a babe.RUSH ARCHIVE: We're the ones that have the babe on the ticket!CINDY: (laughing) She is. She's lovely. I think she's beautiful.RUSH: Cindy McCain agreeing with your beloved host. She's a babe. See, this is just one of those obvious things, you're a guest, you're not supposed to mention, just not supposed to talk about it.

RUSH: Here is Lisa in Orange County, California. It's great that you waited. I appreciate it, Lisa.CALLER: Thank you, Rush. It's an honor to speak to you. It's about the sixth time I've been able to call you and it's just a thrill every time I get to talk to you.RUSH: Thank you. One thing.CALLER: Yep!RUSH: I need to ask a favor. Please don't say so, because you are hurting the feelings of those who have been trying for 20 years and have nothing but a busy signal.CALLER: Ohhh. I'm sorry....

RUSH: Ladies and gentlemen, as I mentioned earlier, the conservative base I've never seen happier in 14 years -- since 1993-'94. I really believe the blue-blood Rockefeller types, the elite pro-choice Republicans, they're the ones -- not us -- who are damaging the Republican Party. It isn't Bush. Bush is not the enemy. The elitist Republicans of Washington, New York, Southampton, Aspen, Vail, they're the culprits. There's a blueprint, folks, for sweeping, landslide GOP conservative victory:...

RUSH: We'll start in Memphis with Chris. Nice to have you.CALLER: Hey, Rush. Mega US Air Force dittos to you. It's an honor.RUSH: Thank you very much, sir. I appreciate that.CALLER: Hey, I think we need to take a little bit of time here to thank Barack Obama for bringing about the change that we've been hoping for.RUSH: (laughter) CALLER: Had he picked Clinton, we would have Sarah Palin, and he may have single-handedly breathed 12 years of life into the conservative movement that he didn't...

RUSH: Now, what about the Clintons, where are the Clintons here? All of a sudden the Clintons have a dilemma. Imagine the Clintons in Chappaqua or wherever they are watching last week and now this. They have a dilemma. Here's the bottom line. The Clintons want another shot at this in four years, in 2012. What's the best thing that could happen to make that possible for her? Here are her two choices. Sabotage the Obama campaign as originally planned, securing its defeat but then, lo and behold,...

RUSH: Now, what of tonight, ladies and gentlemen, let me be honest with you, as I always am. I'm just a little old talk show host here, and you are the loyal, brave, beloved audience. We all have a vested interest because that convention and this ticket represent our dreams and hope for the future in beating back the forces that we think are trying to redefine Americanism. This convention, these past two days, has exceeded everybody's expectations. There were a lot of people whose expectations...

RUSH: Here is Sarah Palin and the future of American politics, as I would describe it.PALIN: We were so blessed in April, Todd and I welcomed our littlest one into the world, a perfectly beautiful baby boy named Trig. You know, from the inside, no family ever seems typical, and that's how it is with us. Our family has the same ups and downs as any other, the same challenges, and the same joys. Sometimes even the greatest joys bring challenge. And children with special needs inspire a very,...

RUSH: Since most of you saw this last night, we'll review those later. I want to get to your reactions -- and the reaction from the Obama people today is just to die for. Here's Barbara in Los Angeles. You're next. I'm glad you called.CALLER: Rush, I am so excited to talk to you. It was so funny. This morning Axelrod comes out with Sarah's speech was "devoid of substance." There is not one thing that comes out of Barack's "Windbag" Obama's mouth that has any substance, and the entire Obama...

RUSH: As you know, there's this Us Weekly magazine piece out that is just despicable. It is a hit piece. It's filled with lies and innuendo. Jann Wenner is the publisher. He's a huge Obama endorser. What they're banking on is that millions of people will see this cover and just read the headline not the details of the story, at supermarket checkout counters. It is a blatant attempt to destroy Palin and her family. It's a despicable piece, but it's tabloid trash that has been promoted by the...

RUSH: I did not want that to end last night. I did not want Sarah Palin's speech to end. I didn't want the night to end. I didn't want Rudy to stop. What a night! Folks, we have a future beyond November here, regardless what happens. Do you realize what happened last night? This party has been unified, the convention has been unified on the basis of conservatism, properly executed, brilliantly articulated. What a night it was. Greetings and welcome, it's Rush Limbaugh, the Excellence in...

Story #1: Obama-Endorsed Detroit Mayor Resigns, Goes to Jail RUSH: I just got a note from the operations director of our affiliate station in Detroit, WJR. They have had to sadly preempt the radio program today because it's a sadly historic day in Detroit. The Obama-endorsed mayor, Kwame Kilpatrick, has agreed to a plea agreement which will end his term as mayor, send him to jail for 120 days and put him on five years probation and more.
