[Rush] Limbaugh Predicts McCain Victory
NewsMax ^ | October 31, 2008 | David A. Patten

Talk radio giant Rush Limbaugh says that Sen. John McCain will score a stunning upset over Sen. Barack Obama and win the presidency on Nov. 4.

In an interview with London Telegraph correspondent Nigel Farndale published Friday, Limbaugh said the mainstream media has been pushing Obama’s candidacy because “They want to be able to say they did it if Obama wins.”

To which Farndale countered, “Well, he is going to win, isn’t he?”

Limbaugh’s response: “No, I don’t see it Nigel. I think [Obama has] been dead in the water since the primaries. He is going to need to be up 10 to 12 points to win by 3 or 4.”

The latest “poll of polls” on RealClearPolitics.com showed Obama leading by 6.4 percent.

“Don’t forget,” Limbaugh said according to Farndale, “that Hillary winning was a foregone conclusion, too. If the polls had been right it would have been Giuliani versus Hillary. That’s why polls a year out are worthless.”

Limbaugh also told the correspondent that Obama has erred by “going around as the acting president. “It’s off-putting,” Limbaugh said, adding, “Unionized blue-collar Democrats didn’t vote for him, they voted for Hillary.”

On Friday, Limbaugh stopped just short of outright predicting a McCain triumph during his program.

“My gut hadn’t been giving me any indication on this race, but it started talking to me last night,” he told listeners. “Barack is headed back to Iowa. That should be a lock; it’s a dead heat.

LOL! No, he meant headed back to Iowa to campaign. It was thought Iowa was a lock for Obama.

Yeah, I am watching Ted Baxter this evening as well.

Victoria Jackson is awesome tonight.

Not only did she call Obama a communist, but she is talking about the correlation between "1984" and Obama.

I am so freaking sick and tired of that soulless piece of sh!t Ted Baxter.

As usual, The Gasbag is salaciously defending Obama.

Did Rivera make that prediction because he thinks the “Fairness Doctrine” would be passed, or because he thinks their audiences would naturally dissipate?

If there was ever a time for Rush to be right, this is it.

Geraldo is such a FAGGOT!! I stopped watching him the night he told Bill O’Reilly that the illegal immigrants were our “Honored Guests”.

What a punk.

There will be a blood bath, if they try to stop talk radio.

It also seems, the media is using the polls to intimidate voters. You can't watch any news show without hearing mention of the polls. This is to make sure everyone knows Obama is ahead in the polls. Plus, if they make it look like he is going to win anyway, then the “why bother to vote” factor also sets in. The election would be fairer if the media were not allowed to mention any polls at all.
