I spent summers in a remote part of Illinois where Peoria was the BIG CITY.

I don't know about Huey Lewis(sic) but I found this video of Obama practicing his speech.

But unless the bolt took him out, he would take credit for it and they would believe.

Hillary? I didn’t see. She looked sour?

I see a potential McCain voter in that picture.

Don’t know. I’d have to turn the sound back on.

RUSH: When Thursday night comes around the Democrats are going to trot out Algore to introduce Obama on Thursday night at Mile High stadium in Denver, and that's problematic. Because everywhere Gore goes, the opposite of his global warming predictions happen. You know, Gore will schedule a global warming seminar somewhere, and it will snow unexpectedly or there will be a record low temperature.

On a not so funny note...say your prayers everyone about upcoming Hurricane Gustav.

RUSH: I must inform you of a weather situation that poses a great threat. There is a hurricane currently making its way toward the southern peninsula of Haiti called Gustav. The National Hurricane Center's track forecast turns this into a category five hurricane by Sunday or Monday, and the many models are fairly close in this hurricane going into the western Gulf, maybe Texas, Mexico. But one model, the model that I know that the National Hurricane Center relies on the most called the GFDL, takes this baby right for New Orleans. Can you say Katrina 2? This hurricane, if that model is correct, will bear down cat five on New Orleans on day one or day two of the Republican convention in St. Paul.

Can I fill in the blanks here for you? The Drive-By Media will point out that the Republicans -- the rich Republicans in their private jets with their diamonds and their limousines -- are in St. Paul debating the continuation of tax cuts for the rich and the elimination of the death tax, and then they will cut to photos of Obama and Michelle laying sandbags in the French Quarter and passing out water bottles. If that model is correct, the media will, en masse, leave St. Paul. There will be no media left to cover the Republican convention. Do you know how many delegates there are in Denver? Roughly 4,000. You know how many credentialed Drive-Bys are there? Twenty thousand, five times the number of delegates. Ha! Of course, it's a long way out, and it's impossible this far out to tell where this thing going to go, but if that model holds steady and turns out to be right, you have been warned.

Dang, how wooden can Strickland get??? He’s reading the speech more slowly than a dyslexic turtle...

This is the WORST. SPEECH. EVER.

CNN is saying Virginia is in play

showed ALL the election maps from 80 THROUGH 2006 and all were REPUBLICAN.

and yet CNN says history favors the Democrats.

Gergen in on CNN. The man is oblivious. He got PAID to write speeches?!

I notice nobody is shooting the stage with the full American Idol whore effect magnificence.

Ted doesn’t even read well. He meant to say country but said company. I wonder if he has even seen this speech before tonight.
