RUSH: Earlier this week, I looked you straight in the eye (well, for those of you watching on the Dittocam. Those of you listening, I looked you straight in the eye, too), and I said, ‘As things stand now, as things are today, there is an 80% chance that Hillary Clinton will be the next president of the United States,\u2019 and there are a number of reasons for this. <\/p>\n

Among them, all this talk about how afraid of Obama she is. You think Clinton, Inc. is really worried about a guy with so little experience getting into these foxholes? They\u2019re not worried. This fundraising business, I don\u2019t care what happens, she\u2019s going to end up with the most of it. She\u2019s going to get the most of the funding, because they\u2019re out there threatening people. On the Republican side, they\u2019re doing their best. They\u2019re demonizing Rudy Giuliani now as a draft dodger, and Fred Thompson is lurking out there. So now they\u2019re talking about, ‘Well, you know, Fred Thompson, you have an abortion problem! You have a trial lawyer problem,\u2019 already. As things stand today, there\u2019s an 80% chance she\u2019s the next president. So I found it interesting that in the New Orleans Times-Picayune today, there\u2019s a story on James Carville\u2019s attitude, and here\u2019s what he said: ‘I think Hillary\u2019s chances are not better than 50%, but right now that\u2019s higher than anybody else.\u2019 <\/p>\n

Now, my guess is that when they found out that I said that she\u2019s got an 80% chance, they said, ‘Uh-oh! We can\u2019t let that stand, especially if it\u2019s come from Limbaugh, because this is one thing people will believe from Limbaugh.\u2019 Liberals don\u2019t believe much of what I say, but when they hear that, they might, and they have to make it look like Hillary is not the candidate of ‘inevitability.\u2019 They have to make it look like she\u2019s got a challenge out there. They have to make it look like she can overcome a challenge, get in a fight, get dusted up, and prevail. This business of inevitability is not going to elect her, because most of the American people don\u2019t like the feeling that somebody\u2019s just entitled to that office. They have to go out and earn it, work for it, get in the foxholes out there. So this ‘less than a 50% chance that\u2019s she\u2019s going to be president\u2019 from Carville, I think (and it\u2019s not my ego speaking; this is pure political analysis) is a direct result of my claim that she has got an 80% chance. Now, Sharpton\u2019s conference that he\u2019s having in New York? This is Marcia Kramer at Channel 2 New York.<\/p>\n

‘Former President Bill Clinton was in New York City on Thursday, speaking at the National Action Network convention and rallying behind Rev. Al Sharpton. Though he was there to offer up his support and respect for Sharpton, his real motive was likely to help sway the outspoken civil rights leader toward an endorsement of his wife,\u2019 Hillary Clinton, Mrs. Bill Clinton. Because Jesse Jackson has gone out there and endorsed Obama, and Sharpton is sitting out there just waiting to see what happens, and Bill\u2019s in there. In fact, the headline of this story is: ‘Clintons Butter Up Sharpton for Endorsement.\u2019 (Laughing.) What, are they getting ready to roast him? Ha-ha-ha-ha. ‘Clintons Butter Up Sharpton.\u2019 In the New York Post today: ‘Hillary\u2019s Popularity Ratings Go Negative,\u2019 but this is among all voters, which at this time in the campaign, I guess, is interesting. She\u2019s at 68% approval with Democrats in a Gallup poll. She has 45% favorability, down 13 points since she announced in the USA Today\/Gallup survey. <\/p>\n

So there\u2019s all kinds of conflicting news, and then this story by Donald Lambro in the Washington Times: ‘Hillary\u2019s Pressure Bruises Fundraising.\u2019 ‘One of the most frequent complaints among longtime party contributors is that no matter how hard they work or how much they raise for Mrs. Clinton\u2019s candidacy, they will never be given special access to her campaign\u2019s high command. ‘If you are not part of that original Clinton family, you are never going to be part of her inner circle. What this translates into is: Why invest in her campaign when whatever you do, you will never be part of it?\u2019 said a former senior Democratic Party campaign official who is uncommitted in the race. ‘I\u2019m hearing this echoed all over the place by Democrats, especially outside of Washington,” but beyond the threats, no matter how much you raise, you\u2019re never going to get close to her in terms of fundraising, when it\u2019s all said and done. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
