He's clear and serious. There's a difference.
I agree wholeheartedly! He's just sober, as we all should be about this election. His soberness is represented in his comment that if all about Kerry was let out, he wouldn't be within 30 points of W.
I'd agree with Airborne. Until today, the election has always seemed at least a week away. Now, all of a sudden, it's on top of us, within 24 hours. Rush is no longer joking around, not because he's depressed, but because he's got 24 hours to wrap up his work before he, like the rest of us, crossed fingers and watches the stats come in. Heck, I'm a little nervous myself.
