AP one point, IBD/TIPP at 3.7, CBS/New York Times at 13, NBC/Wall Street Journal Obama 80-20, they're just all over the place. And here's what I think happens.

RUSH: Mere moments ago -- it was about 25 minutes ago -- we had a call from a woman in Kalamazoo, Michigan. She's serving her residency there. She'd moved there from Pennsylvania. She's Jewish, and she was telling us all these stories about how the Jewish people she knows are all voting Obama because they didn't want to be called racists. They didn't want to be thought of as racists. So we had a little conversation, and I expanded on her theme, and I tried to tell her that one of the ways that...

RUSH: Brian Williams of the NBC Nightly News interviewed McCain and Palin. By the way, this was funny because Chuck Todd -- the numbers cruncher, the political director for NBC News -- said when he looked at this... I guess he's a body language expert now, because he said, "I didn't see a whole lot of love between McCain and Palin," he said. "I don't think they like each other." In fact, we may have that bite. But I got my sound bite roster so... Yeah. Number 25. Before we play you McCain and...

RUSH: Boy, there is a fight raging, ladies and gentlemen, between these pollsters out there. The gloves are off between the pollsters. "Polling guru John Zogby ripped an Associated Press survey showing the McCain-Obama battle down to a dead heat. 'The AP poll is not only an outlier, it’s just preposterous!' Zogby told the Herald last night. An 'outlier' is a term for a result on the margin that is often thrown out by statisticians. ... But Zogby, who has Obama jumping ahead of McCain 52-42...

RUSH: The Politico has a story today. I can't get the author here because it looks like... Well, I'm not even going to try it.

You do a walk-around, you go to the venue where you're going...

Story #1: Pew: Media Coverage of McCain All NegativeRUSH: I know it has to be done, but it gets a little frustrating. Every day we have to come in here and clean up the messes made by the most outrageously irresponsible mainstream media that anybody's ever seen. Everybody is talking about this, even themselves.
