Do Your Show Prep: Everything Rush reads to prepare for the show.
Some of the topics we're loaded with today: Romney Crushes Newt in Florida || Obama Adds Another $1 Trillion Deficit || Soul Train's Don Cornelius Dead at 75 || Iran Said Ready to Attack Inside USA
Unemployment News Could Get Worse on Friday... Gallup State-By State Map Shows Landslide Obama Loss... El Rushbo Wasn't Exit Polled... Correction: Huckabee Hasn't Endorsed Romney... Big Education Never Does with Less...
RUSH: So what do we do now, folks? That's the question. Everybody wants to know what do we do now? And what we do now is what we should have been doing all along.
RUSH: You can take this exit poll data and you can pretty much toss it.
RUSH: These Wizards of Smart in the Republican establishment say, "We can't have Newt out there! Why, Newt's gonna be the topic. We need Obama to be the topic. We need Obama to be the guy campaign's about. If Newt's out there, it's only gonna be about Newt." Well, what evidence is there that it's not gonna be about Romney with these kinds of statements?
RUSH: My last comments on this show yesterday created a "bzz bzz bzz bzz, bzz bzz, bzz bzz bzz bzz," a big buzz out there.
CALLER: Thanks, Rush. After all the years I've listened to you, you've finally got me mad enough to call you. All right?
RUSH: Uh-oh.
RUSH: We're back now to the subprime mortgage being the fault of the banks. Predatory lending tricked people into taking out loans that they couldn't pay back.
RUSH: These New York Times hit pieces on Apple are to benefit Obama.
RUSH: Rest assured: One of the reasons that I've not gone scorched earth has been so that -- when the time comes -- I can support the nominee with credibility. Because, at the end of the day, like I opened this program with: The objective is Obama.
FLEISCHER: If it was Santorum, on the basis of how he did in that last debate, the exciting way that he went after Romney on health care, he took it to him on the health care issue with specifics more than anybody else.
RUSH: When you try to connect with people with emotion, when that's not what the game is, that comes across as even more of an effort to connect, and it isn't going to work.
