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.

> “Barack is headed back to Iowa.”
“Ummm, isn’t he from Illinois?”
Yes, Obama is from Illinois. Rush was talking about how Obama is headed back to Iowa to campaign, and Iowa was supposed to be a “solid win” state for Obama. If that is true, why would Obama spend time campaigning there with only three days left?
Rivera didn’t say. He simply said that he predicts the end of talk radio, which the right dominates. That’s my guess Rivera believes the Un”Fairness Doctrine” will become reality again.
This interview took place in August according to Rush who mentioned it on his show today. According to Rush’s “gut” he doesn’t have a read on the election as of today. Rush in August, Rush today. Take your pick.
I think Rush is right. I see so many McCain Palin signs in my state NC. I also read last night on Digg a comment from a former Obama supporter who was sick of him. He said he has paid workers to go onto other websites including the GOP sites pretending to be McCain supporter but then question what he stands for and switch their support, they go to every online news outlet to praise and vote for Obama saying they just can’t vote Rep again. He said they get drilled continuously about what they are doing and what to say and where to go. It was really scary how far the liberals would go to eskrew the polling numbers. The large numbers that turn out for his rallys...paid supporters they have to show up, given bus tickets or car pooling to get there just for show so when he loses it will look like the republicans stole the election.
That line and the title are contradictory.
Bill O has to be fair and balance...even when they are clearly wrong.
Rush is right! McCain / Palin will win.
“...because he thinks their audiences would naturally dissipate.””

Anyone that believes that is truly delusional.
Clinton’s 8 years did nothing but accelerate the growth of conservative media.
Outright censorship would be the only way to shut down the wildly and consistently successful Rush Limbaugh. Any attempt to censor right-leaning radio programs and internet sites, (conservative TV? what conservative TV?), media would be a rather large step toward civil war in this country.
IMO he's right (as ususal 98.8% of the time). Everything I've seen and read shows Mac winning.
But we all have to vote. No matter what happens, no matter what the numbers show WE ALL MUST VOTE.

“As usual, The Gasbag is salaciously defending Obama.”
The Gasbag is in the bag for nobama. Mr. “Fair ‘n Balanced” is out of balance.
He is a maggot. For all his blowhard talk of standing up to the “powers that be” he sure kisses nobama’s fat Marxist butt - every bloody day.
Remember when he compared our website to Daily Kos and other "fringe" people?
Billy Graham, There is life after Death.
BTW Rush was wrong about Hillary. I hope Obama fades into grey after Nov 4th. You guys really like Rush

Praying for rush to be able to say SITYS.
Some Obamabots have infiltrated Free Republic, but they are relatively easy to spot.
Some of them post the most absurd things around here.
I Think I may have some fun, schadenfreude, at the media expense, when Obama goes down in flames.
I'm open to suggestions about how to go about it.
