RUSH: A couple of McCain sound bites. This morning in Manchester, New Hampshire.MCCAIN: Last week, his campaign actually found itself on a detour into the real world in the driveway of Joe the Plumber.

As he told Joe, Barack Obama wants to, quote, "spread the wealth around."RUSH: Let me repeat something. We had a call...

I said, "Don't worry," because, folks, let me tell you what's happening, whether McCain wins or loses, we are going to rebuild the conservative movement.

RUSH: Now, ladies and gentlemen, in an effort to keep you engaged, in an effort to keep you enthused and upbeat, let me go back in time to the recent past and remind you of my prediction about polls. I said, "The polls are going to be used to affect your thinking; the polls will be used to influence your thinking and your attitudes and opinions. The polls will be used to depress you. The polls will be used to dispirit you." And I said, "As we get close, however, the polls are going to have...

CALLER: Hey, Rush, good to talk to you.RUSH: Thank you.CALLER: Rush, this whole campaign has been an eye-opener for me as a parent because I'm trying to teach my daughter, you know, just about the political -- in our country, and I'm trying to explain to her Obama's socialist economics, and she kind of gets it, but what's really focused and really hitting home for us is the fact that she's afraid in school to voice an opinion...

RUSH: CNN is now even lying. And this is something, by the way, they need to apologize for -- although even if they do, yip yip yip yip yahoo. It's going to matter less.

I'll have details on this as the program unfolds. We have McCain now being once again run down by NBC. They're starting the spin that McCain...

RUSH: Ladies and gentlemen, I had a meeting after the program yesterday with a couple of people, and these people are very, very prominent in American business. I wasn't surprised by what I heard, but I was shocked by the intensity with which they told me their story. And basically both these people were telling me that everybody they do business with is gearing up for an Obama victory by laying people off, by planning on layoffs. They are scared to death of the incoming new taxes that Obama...
