McCain takes a big lead in one poll, and is ahead or tied in others in the key pre-convention period. Panicking Democrats suffering from buyer's remorse, say it's because McCain got mean. Mean?

Rush really knows how to play the media. He urged McCain not to pick a pro-choice or Democrat VP, and all the Drive-By outlets jumped to report it as a "shot across the bow." Wolf Blitzer asked Tom Ridge about it.

Pearl of Wisdom: "Obama said McCain 'doesn't know what he's up against.' This little man-child doesn't know what he's up against, and that is his past. Barack Obama's closest associates hate America, folks. Bill Ayers and Jeremiah Wright! I mean, stop and think of this. To top it all off, Obama lobbied for infanticide and doesn't have the guts to admit when he's wrong -- such as the surge, for one thing."

Please, Obama, pick serial plagiarist Joe Biden as your VP. He's as arrogant as you are! Rush played an ad from Biden's 1988 run, where he strikes the same themes about America sucking and the world hating us that Obama does 20 years later. The ad also says: "The White House isn't the place to learn."

Pearl of Wisdom: "Folks, I've got it. A bold VP choice for Obama would be South Carolina Senator Lindsey Grahamnesty. Lindsey Graham, moderate Republican of South Carolina. That would be something bold that I would support."

Vladimir Putin (once KGB, always KGB) says that his response to our missiles in Poland won't be "diplomacy." Do you want Obama dealing with Russia, or McCain?

Show Highlight: "McCain's conservatism -- sometimes hidden -- surfaced loudly, proudly, and valorously on Saturday. Choosing a pro-choice Democrat or a liberal Republican running mate will undo that. Senator, we know you're smart and we know you're going to do the right thing, and we know you do not want to lose."

The Drive-Bys are urging McCain to pick a pro-choice running mate, because they know it'll destroy the Republican Party.

The Drive-By Media are taking the throwaway phrase "Cone of Silence," and reporting that McCain wasn't in it and therefore cheated in his faceoff against The Messiah. They just can't accept that McCain skunked their guy.

Pearl of Wisdom: "In March and April, it looked bleak for McCain. Barry was way up. Everyone thought that he had finally shut Hillary out. Then along came Operation Chaos 'to bloody up Obama politically,' because McCain's campaign wasn't going to, and Hillary and the Clintons were the only ones left to do it. Where are we today, after Operation Chaos? The race is a statistical tie."

Obama follows orders from lib bloggers, and defends himself to the UFW against "attacks" on his patriotism. You can't point out the anti-American stuff he and the people around him say? Rush can, and did.

A conservative is voting Obama so we win in 2012 like Reagan beat Carter, rather than have McCain screw up the GOP. Folks, Obama is too dangerous to risk four years on.

Nancy Pelosi says God has blessed America with a gift...Barack Obama.

Obama isn't an intellectual. He memorizes and absorbs extreme left-wing dogma from the likes of Rev. Wright, and regurgitates it as needed. Rush replays the "Uh" montage, exposing the real Obama off TelePrompTer.

The arrogance ticket? Howard Fineman says it's Obama-Biden. Please, let it be true.

The affirmative action mentality has come back to bite Democrats big time. They're stuck with this flawed nominee, 'cause none dared vote against the black guy.

Gov. Schwarzenegger joined Obama in this lunacy that inflating your tires and tuning up your car (you don't tune-up modern cars!) is a substitute for supply. This is nuts.

Obama bombed at the Rick Warren forum. McCain's performance was so good, the Dems and Drive-Bys were reduced to accusing him of cheating. On issue after issue, Obama showed he's not in McCain's league.

Pearl of Wisdom: "If McCain doesn't do something stupid, like name a liberal running mate, he should be able to hold on. Obama's campaign is falling apart."

Obama trashed the intellect of Justice Clarence Thomas, parroting the demeaning talking points used by the likes of Harry Reid.

Obama's answers on confronting evil and America's supposed failures were astonishing.

Pearl of Wisdom: "Obama is a walking, talking robot, repeating things that leftist extremists and blame-America-firsters have just drilled into his head. His brain is nothing more than a sponge for this kind of radicalism."

McCain's answers on taxes and the wealthy actually have conservatives beginning to get excited to vote FOR him, not just against Obama.

Pearl of Wisdom: "Everybody is starting to whisper that if Obama has any prayer of winning, he has to choose Hillary. And if he chooses Hillary, he's going to have to have somebody taste his food and start his car for him every day."

Obama says the question of when life begins is "above his pay grade." This is a man who, three times, voted against a bill that would require doctors to give medical attention to infants born alive during an abortion.

The American people must hear the truth, not pandering, about oil. If we all stop driving tomorrow, we'd still need 5 million barrels a day to supply our other needs. We are 50 or 75 years away from anything that can replace oil, folks, and even Obama can't legislate a replacement for it into existence.

The liberals in the media, quick to blame America, say we can't gripe about Georgia because we invaded Iraq. First of all, we went to the UN over and over. Second, Iraq lost its "sovereignty" by losing Gulf War I.

All people had to do was complain, and both parties tripped over each other to scuttle the Dubai Ports Deal. Yet 82% support drilling, and our politicians are ignoring them.

Queen Bee Syndrome: Pelosi attacks Hillary supporters for not being "gracious," and rips Joe Lieberman as a fraudulent Democrat.

Obama is going to turn two nights of the Democrat convention over to the Clintons. They're going to place Hillary's name in nomination! This is the Clinton convention.

Liberals declare that Obama's not ahead in the polls because American voters are racist. This will be a routine smear for anyone who dares criticize President Obama.

Pearl of Wisdom: "The Drive-Bys fell in love with the story the Edwardses concocted, and saw nothing else. That brings us to their latest crush: The Messiah. What do they not want to see about Obama? They're in love with the story that they're helping craft about him, because his candidacy is 'historic,' and they want to be part of this history, and be able to say they made history."
