Story #1: Rosow Wins PB; Romney Wins Cape Girardeau
RUSH: Guess what? My buddy Rosow won the town council election yesterday, won it by 55 votes -- huge, huge bash to celebrate the victory up at Trevini here on Palm Beach.
 Story #2: Reports of GOP Voter Suppression in San Diego
RUSH: A couple things here, folks. It is being reported, I saw this at FreeRepublic.com, the Freepers are on the case on this. Reports are rolling in to talk radio stations in San Diego about a whole bunch of Republican vote suppression. By the way, this is not sour grapes. I'm just telling you what's being reported out there.
Story #3: The Exit Polls Were All Wrong Yet Again
RUSH: The exit polls again were just off the charts wrong. The Drive-By Media, look at their conventional wisdom that they get wrong. The Drive-By conventional was that Hillary was inevitable, and she was going to skate through, but the Republicans are going to head to a brokered convention. It looks just the opposite now.
Story #4: Are the Clintons Using Their Own Money?
RUSH: I also note, by the way, that the Clinton -- this is rumored, it's not established here -- but the Clintons apparently are digging into their own personal wealth to fund Hillary's campaign. Howard Wolfson was asked about this today and said he didn't know, but there are rumors that this is happening. I'm thinking of maybe doing a fund-raiser. I don't know if this is true. We'll follow up and then find out if it is.
Story #5: Republicans for Choice Endorse John McCain
RUSH: Also from Free Republic, just this morning, Republicans for Choice endorsed John McCain. This is what they say. "Our first choice, Rudy Giuliani did not win. He ran a campaign with a risky strategy, didn't work, but our number-two choice did win, John McCain. McCain came in second in a survey of our membership, Republicans for Choice." They further say that "while McCain is personally pro-life, he has time and again reached out and worked with people across the spectrum. We know we can work with him to create common ground on abortion that will allow moderate and conservatives to come together to rebuild the GOP. Republicans for Choice joins with Rudy Giuliani in asking our supporters to consider McCain as they go vote over the next few weeks. McCain is a true American hero, strong and consistent values, he will provide the leadership that would rebuild America's confidence in itself and among our allies worldwide." And they think they're going to be able to work with him on abortion. Dawn's nodding her head, "They probably are right."
Story #6: New York Times Calls El Rushbo "Shrill"
RUSH: The New York Times -- this is hilarious -- the New York Times editorial, I just want to read to you a couple of paragraphs here. "Among the Republicans, as Mr. McCain has pulled ahead, he has been shrilly attacked by Rush Limbaugh and Ann Coulter, who have said they'd rather lose the White House than have a nominee who does not pass all of their litmus tests." I never said that. Ann might have. I have not said that.
Anyway, let me start again. That's not the point I wanted to make here. "Among the Republicans, as Mr. McCain has pulled ahead, he has been shrilly attacked by Rush Limbaugh and Ann Coulter, who have said they’d rather lose the White House than have a nominee who does not pass all of their litmus tests. That is not the way democracy is supposed to work. Their claim that Mr. McCain is not a conservative (based largely on his willingness to actually talk to Democrats) is ludicrous, but it’s damaging to a party bloodied by eight years of the politics of George Bush and Karl Rove." So the way I interpret this is, the New York Times: "Just because he talks to Democrats doesn't mean he isn't conservative." Well, he does more than talk to Democrats. He gets in league with them. This is essential to understand. The New York Times, the house organ of American liberalism, considers democracy to be fully flowered and functioning when Republicans cave against their own beliefs and their own party, and join with them. So they got a one-way definition of democracy, and they've got a one-way definition of bipartisanship and a one-way definition of progress. And anybody who is opposed to Republicans caving to Democrats is called shrill. Well, I'm honored. I'll adopt that as my new middle name.
Story #7: Southern Whites Voted for Barry Obama
RUSH: If you look at the Democrat side of things, the percentage of the white vote that went to Obama is huge -- and where that white vote is? It was in the South. Southern white people voted Obama, folks! Major, major shift in the race. You know, the tried-and-true Northeast elite whites, they went for Madam Clinton.
Story #8: Religion: Reduce Your Carbon Footprint for Lent
RUSH: "Two senior Church of England bishops called [yesterday] for people in the UK to cut back on carbon for Lent." Reduce your global footprint, whatever, carbon footprint for Lent. Hoo-kay.

Story #9: Dingy Harry: McCain Sends "Chill Down Spine"
RUSH: Well, Dingy Harry Reid hasn't been in the news much lately, but he said that his "becoming president 'sends a cold chill down my spine,'" quote unquote. "Reid made his remarks Tuesday outside the Senate chambers when a reporter asked him about McCain... Pulling out his wallet and removing a white piece of paper, Reid told the reporter: 'All I have to say about that is this. I have it right here,  and you can put it in your little recording devices.' Then, reading aloud, and quoting Sen. Thad Cochran (R-Miss.) from an interview last Friday, Reid said: 'The thought of him [McCain] being president sends a cold chill down my spine. He is erratic. He is hotheaded. He loses his temper, and he worries me.'" Dingy Harry basically is siding with Thad Cochran. He "then placed the piece of paper back in his wallet and continued taking reporter's questions." Mr. Brooks' theory is we hate these other guys. We hate the liberals and consider them the enemy. Mr. Brooks, it's just real simple. We would love for Mr. McCain to work with us the way he works with your buds on the left -- or, if not work with us, at least stop undermining us. It's just that simple.
Story #10: Booze Bra Gives Women a Wine Rack
RUSH: "'Booze Bra Gives Women a Wine Rack' -- Could this be the reason Amy Winehouse seemed to have sprouted such a heaving chest when she left rehab yesterday? For those occasions when booze just isn't allowed a wine-holding bra has been created for the ladettes of this world. Be it a rock concert or simply a trip to the women simply need to fill up the sports bra device with their favourite tipple and then once inside suck the liquid out of the special teat." There's a picture of this here. "The bra serves the double purpose of also making the wearer's (wine) rack look more full -- until the alcohol is all drunk down that is and the woman goes from a big chested beauty to a big bellied Betty."
Anyway there's a bladder inside this bra, and you can fill the bladder with whatever you want in there. They use wine here as an example. Then there's this little stopper thing that you go to the bathroom, there's a little valve inside there, and you attach this, and you draw some of the liquid out in this little syringe type thing, looks like it's about two or three inches long, and you take a hit, and then you head back to where you were going in public so nobody knows what you've done, and it's all hidden in your bra. And when the bladder of the bra is full with the adult beverage of your choice of course you appear to be larger than nature otherwise made you.
Story #11: Race, Sex Splits Dems; Ideology Splits GOP
RUSH: Let's see. From The Politico today: "Race, Sex Divide Democrats; Ideology Splits Republican Party." The Politico guys get it right. That's exactly what's been going on. There's a big war going on in both parties. Ours is over ideas. Theirs is over race, race and sex.
