RUSH: This is about ACORN. We have some bites here about ACORN and the Drive-Bys trying to suggest that McCain rallies are full of racists and violent protesters and so forth. Obama says that he had nothing to do with ACORN. His website says: I have nothing to do with ACORN; I never had anything to do with them. I may have known some people there, but ACORN is just some group down the street in the neighborhood that had a sign out that said "ACORN." I don't know anything about ACORN. Let's...

RUSH: Well, now this is interesting. We have an AP Obama story that just cleared the wires about 45 minutes ago: "Democrat Barack Obama is calling for a 90-day moratorium on foreclosures and a two-year tax break for businesses that create jobs as part of a plan to heal the nation's ailing economy. The presidential candidate says banks that participate in the federal bailout should temporarily postpone foreclosures for families making good-faith efforts to pay their mortgage." This is so wide...

RUSH: Now, ladies and gentlemen, I just became aware of something. This could be interesting. This could be very, very big -- and it involves my congressman. Now, I want to take you back to the 2006 midterm elections. You, ladies and gentlemen, remember why those elections actually were lost is because of the word Macaca in the Senate by George Allen and Mark Foley -- who was not our congressman; close by, but not our congressman. It was Mark Foley and the text messages to the pages, House...

RUSH: Those of you out there, forget what party affiliation that you have. Forget your ideological orientation. Those of you who own small businesses and those of you who work at small businesses, I want to speak to you directly and in a pure business fashion right to your heart, here. Obviously throw some politics in because lies are being told by the Obama campaign through and through, not corrected by the Drive-Bys, about small business. That figure of $250,000 is key. It is everywhere Obama...

RUSH: Bill Kristol, writing today an op-ed in the New York Times, says it's time for McCain to fire his campaign. He says that what McCain needs to do is get rid of the whole campaign and start over these last three weeks and make the case for "a broadly centrist conservatism." Now, you know, Bill Kristol and I know each other and I've been a friend of Bill Kristol for a number of years. Bill Kristol, however, was one of the early supporters of Senator McCain back in the 2000 presidential race;...

RUSH: Let me sum up where we are right now. We've got 22 days to go, and I think the clearest way to look at where the campaign is, is to conclude that Senator McCain is now campaigning on Obama's terms. Now, Senator McCain did have a firebrand speech just now in Norfolk with Governor Palin, and he came out swinging on some things. We'll see. We have a big debate on Wednesday night where Senator McCain says he's going to whip Obama's you-know-what. Now, my preference is that when you have a...

Join Rush 24/7 NOW!"I maintain that Obama doesn't know what he's talking about.""We don't know if Obama's talking about receipts or profits regarding his tax plan -- because nobody's asking him! I'm not the one promising to raise your taxes; the little squirrel Obama is. So somebody needs to ask him: 'Are you talking about receipts or profit?'" "In a way, McCain's right: we do have them right where we want them because they think it's over. And...

Story #1: Bad Economy? NYC Hooker Biz Still BoomingRUSH: By the way, the economy is not all bad, ladies and gentlemen. In New York City, prostitution has not suffered a drop-off, despite the economic meltdown. So it's still a great time to be morally bankrupt in New York.Story #2: Market Up, Gas Down, Will Obama Get Credit?RUSH: Well, let's see here. The stock market is up 583 right now.
