RUSH: Karl Rove today in the Wall Street Journal. Now, listen to this. This goes along here with why I do not yet have a gut feel for what's going to happen here. "There has been an explosion of polls this presidential election. Through yesterday, there have been 728 national polls with head-to-head matchups of the candidates, 215 in October alone." Now, 728 national polls in this election, 215 in October alone. "In 2004, there were just 239 matchup polls, with 67 of those in October. At this rate, there may be almost as many national polls in October of 2008 as there were during the entire year in 2004," and there's so much disinformation in them. They are so conflicted. They are so confused. They are so all over the place. They are so tainted. So we've got over three-and-a-half times the polls in October this year as October of 2004! It's called information overload! We're being swamped with this stuff and it's tainted to begin with.
Now, another thing, the last caller is a fed-up old Democrat, wants to go with McCain. McCain's worked with Democrats, doesn't like Obama, thinks Obama is a socialist, thinks Obama is an extremist. Talking about the gut here. Talk about information overload. You don't know what to believe anymore. One of the websites that I track is called HillBuzz. Well, it's HillBuzz.wordpress.com. Now, this is a website ostensibly run by a bunch of women who want Obama to lose so that Hillary will have a chance in 2012. You ought to see this site. I mean, they've got McCain winning Iowa, they've got McCain winning Maine, they've got McCain winning New Hampshire, they've got him winning Ohio, they've got him winning Florida, on the basis that the media is not uncovering the depth of anger in the Democrat Party at Obama. And one of the reasons that these babes at Hill Buzz -- this is what they say. Now, I'm your host. I gotta digest all this, and it's a website, I don't know who these people are, and I don't know if what they're saying is true. It's anecdotal information on a website.
Now, people will look at it and they'll print it out, it has automatic credibility. Well, you can print it out, put it on a piece of paper, why, it has credibility. I can't look at it that way. But it's just overload. They say the big reason that there's so much anger out there, particularly among Hillary woman, so much anger is how Obama cheated in the Hawkeye Cauci. If you remember the polls in the Hawkeye Cauci, Hillary was supposed to do pretty well, but it was a caucus. She didn't work it that hard because she didn't think that it was going to be that important. Obama was -- this is what these people say. We know, by the way, this is true -- Obama was busing in all kinds of people from out of state, and in a caucus situation you vote in public, not in private. So you can be lobbied, you can be pressured, you can be stigmatized as a racist if you, you know, don't hold your hand up for Obama or write his name down on a piece of paper everybody is going to see you do, and they claim that they are livid. Well, I was looking at their latest post last night about how nobody in the media is picking up on how well McCain is doing in some of these battleground states, and I scrolled down, I don't know, because normally, you know, I value my sanity...
