RUSH: Jonathan Alter has just tweeted. I think it\u2019s a tweet. Yeah, it\u2019s a tweet. “Sources say New Jersey Governor Christie is conducting focus groups for a possible run for president.” Anybody shocked by that?<\/p>\n
I, ladies and gentlemen, am gonna tell you right now, am not surprised at anything that\u2019s gonna happen on the Republican side in the presidential field. Now, I happen to know where the divisions in the Republican Party are. I know that the establishment GOP is not happy with any of them right now. My guess is the people at the Wall Street Journal are not happy with any (as a wild guess) of the Republican announced nominees. But my guess is the Wall Street Journal editorial, people would love Christie to get in. Northeastern, tough on the unions, fits the bill there.<\/p>\n
BREAK TRANSCRIPT<\/p>\n
RUSH: Rick Perry from the National Journal: “I do believe that the issue of global warming has been politicized. I think there are a substantial number of scientists who have manipulated data so that they will have dollars rolling into their projects. I think we\u2019re seeing it almost weekly or even daily, scientists who are coming forward and questioning the original idea that man-made global warming is what is causing the climate to change. Yes, our climates change. They\u2019ve been changing ever since the earth was formed.”<\/p>\n
Now, this is a contrast with Romney. You might say, “Oh, good, okay, this is conservative.” Well, it\u2019s almost stark in comparison with Romney. Romney, remember when I said he believes in manmade global warming? He thinks man has engaged in activity that has affected the climate. So Perry is staking out claims that differ tremendously from the front-runner in the Republican primaries.<\/p>\n
Remember that poll that showed Barack Obama way, way down in New York? Well, that doesn\u2019t mean anything. It\u2019s a year and a half before the election, or 15 months, I mean it\u2019s typical economic circumstance. Quinnipiac has found that Obama is losing big ground in New Jersey. President Obama headed in the wrong direction, New Jersey voters disapprove 52-44% of the job he\u2019s doing. That\u2019s down from a 50-46% positive result June 21st, and the president\u2019s lowest score ever in New Jersey. The gender gap, New Jersey, is huge, men disapprove 60-37%, women approve Obama 51-44%. Turning thumbs down on Obama are Republicans 93-6. Independents in New Jersey disapprove Obama 57-39. Democrats approve in New Jersey, of course, 77-17. New Jersey voters say 49-45% that Obama does not deserve to be reelected. So 49% of New Jersey don\u2019t reelect Obama. So that\u2019s now New York and New Jersey, folks.<\/p>\n
Now, I mention this because we got people on our side who think this guy is still invincible, and they think largely he\u2019s invincible because he\u2019s Obama, they\u2019re still in awe of what Obama was, that imagery, but also the power of the presidency and this reported $1 billion that he\u2019s going to have to wage his campaign. But it\u2019s patently obvious to you and me, you get somebody with a proud and cheerful and confidently articulated conservative message and agenda, and this guy is landslidable. If the election were held today he\u2019d lose in a landslide, and what\u2019s gonna change? I know it\u2019s politics, and things that no one can predict can happen in a long period of time.<\/p>\n

The liberal media will always tell us who of our people they fear and why. You know, I have speculated with great accuracy, I am confident, that they\u2019re scared to death of Sarah Palin. They\u2019re scared to death. I mean, all this time spent trying to destroy her. Common sense, folks, if she\u2019s a dolt, if she\u2019s an idiot, if she doesn\u2019t have a prayer of being elected, as they say, why give her a thought? Why spend a second? Why one drop of ink? Why one megabyte of information? No, no, no, they\u2019re very worried, and they\u2019re worried for a number of reasons. And one of the reasons is they really fear she could win. And they know she means what she says. And they know that she\u2019s got guts. And they know that she\u2019s not afraid of \u2019em. They know that everything they\u2019ve thrown at her has not sent her whimpering away, cowering in fear into the corners, begging to be left alone.<\/p>\n
It is Sarah Palin who has turned the tables on them and makes them look like groupies, practically, chasing her down, following her everywhere, and then blaming her for potentially causing traffic accidents by not telling them in advance where she\u2019s going. So they have to engage in high speed chases to catch up. And then she\u2019s at the Iowa State Fair and Jake Tapper, ABC, walks up, wants to talk to her, she says, “Hang on, I gotta meet a heifer first.” Jake Tapper, “You gotta meet a heifer first?” “Yeah, I gotta talk to this cow.” Jake Tapper\u2019s left wondering what politician tells me they\u2019re gonna talk to a cow before they talk to me?<\/p>\n
Can anybody tell me a single state where Obama\u2019s actually gaining ground? California, maybe? Where\u2019s Obama gaining ground? When you\u2019re at 39%, where are you gaining ground? Just a question from my fertile, busy broadcast mind.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
