BEGIN TRANSCRIPT
RUSH: Mike in Maysville, Kentucky.  Mike, welcome, I'm glad you waited.  You're next on the EIB Network, sir.  Hello.

CALLER:  Hi, Rush.  How are you?

RUSH:  Very well, sir.  Thank you.

CALLER:  Wonderful.  First of all, real quick point, I'd like to apologize to you, sir.  I have been a lifelong Democrat all my life, and this election was very important to me -- and under the old axiom, keep your friends close and keep your enemies closer, I decided to listen to you and a couple other hosts.  You are very... I like you.  And, quite frankly, it comes to find out you're not my enemy.  We may disagree on certain social issues, but you give me the facts and I check 'em out and you are absolutely right.

RUSH:  Thank you, sir, very much.  That's very big of you.

CALLER:  Kudos to you, and I never thought I'd say that.  I have listened to sound bites of you, sir, and come to find out they were all taken out of context, and that's not fair.

RUSH:  No, but it's the way the game's played. The left can't defeat you in the arena of ideas --

CALLER:  I understand.

RUSH:  -- they try to discredit people and that's it.

CALLER:  I understand.  It works both ways, on both sides, but since you are, you know, a figure, it seems that they come after you more.  And it wasn't fair.  So I do like to apologize, but that isn't the reason why I called.  It's one of the reasons.  The reason why I called is because of the poll yesterday that seems to be that I'm a white Democrat -- a lifelong Democrat, a very old Democrat -- who is married to a black woman from Mississippi who is extremely liberal, and neither one of us are going to vote for Obama.

RUSH:  Well, I know what you mean. I've got a time problem here and I can't move the break. I don't mean to be rude, but that was a poll AP, ripping white Democrats as one-third of them racist 'cause they won't vote Obama.  The Philadelphia Daily News has done it today.  I've got it in the Stack.
