RUSH: I want to go back to Todd who called from Los Angeles in the last hour. I meant to say during my answer to him about what will happen if the Clintons steal the nomination and get it, he was upset that Fast Eddie Rendell, the governor of Pennsylvania, said, (paraphrasing) ‘We don\u2019t care about the delegate count. We don\u2019t care about the popular vote. We don\u2019t care about the electoral vote. We\u2019re just going to do what we have to do to win. And if we can win no matter how we do it is justified,\u2019 he said. And of course this rattles the Obama supporters. I\u2019ll tell you what, folks, if you go to some of these left-wing blogs, there is sheer, unadulterated hatred for the Clintons now in the Democrat Party. I guarantee you this is something that is happening throughout the party, beyond just the fringe kooks. What I am learning — and something I always knew, I\u2019m having confirmed something I always knew — this party, they really have not been enamored, they didn\u2019t really love the Clintons, they were just afraid of them. There was a lot of fear, and as long as the Clintons were doing their dirty tricks against Republicans, well, it was fabulous and it was fine, but all these endorsements for Obama, all these abandonments of Clinton administration people for Obama, it\u2019s pretty obvious that there\u2019s no love lost for these two in terms of their being the titular heads of the Republican Party. <\/p>\n

And try this from Spike Lee. This is from New York magazine. Weighing in on the presidential race, said Spike Lee, ‘I\u2019m riding my man Obama. I think he\u2019s a visionary. Actually, Barack told me the first date he took Michelle to was Do the Right Thing. I said, ‘Thank God I made it. Otherwise you would have taken her to Soul Man.” Well, does this mean, Spike, that you\u2019re down on the Clintons? Spike Lee: ‘The Clintons, man, they would lie on a stack of Bibles. Snipers? That\u2019s not misspeaking; that\u2019s some pure [BS]. I voted for Clinton twice, but that\u2019s over with. These old black politicians say, ‘Ooh, Massuh Clinton was good to us, massuh hired a lot of us, massuh was good!\u2019 Hoo! Charlie Rangel, David Dinkins — they have to understand this is a new day. People ain\u2019t feelin\u2019 that stuff. It\u2019s like a tide, and the people who get in the way are just gonna get swept out into the ocean.\u2019 Spike Lee speaking on behalf of Obama there. <\/p>\n

So there\u2019s no love lost for the Clintons, but I\u2019m here to tell you a new prediction, and I\u2019m going to put a number to it. Small number, but I believe this to be the case. Twenty percent chance Mrs. Clinton gets the nomination. I mentioned this to some friends over the weekend. ‘Twenty percent? I think there\u2019s a good chance, too, but you think it\u2019s that high? I wouldn\u2019t put it that high.\u2019 Twenty percent chance that Hillary gets the nomination because Obama can\u2019t close this out. No matter what he does, he hasn\u2019t been able to close it out. The Clintons are the Clintons, and they\u2019re making it plain that delegates can vote for whoever they want, and that they\u2019re not getting out of this, they\u2019re going to a credentials fight at the convention. I mentioned there was a huge fight, that giant cocktail party with Clinton and Obama donors, big bundlers at the home of Maureen White and Steve Rattner. Rattner\u2019s a finance guy in New York, used to be at Lazard Freres. He\u2019s Little Pinch Sulzberger\u2019s best friend, or one of his best friends. I think they\u2019re Clinton people. Doesn\u2019t matter. <\/p>\n

Howard Dean was there to try to quell a riot and both sides ended up getting mad at Howard Dean, and a lot of people walked out because they said Dean\u2019s not showing any leadership here in getting this thing over with. The Obama people want it ended; the Clinton people want it to go on. They tried to come together, they tried to compromise, they tried to unify, and it was it was a knock-down, drag-out. It was a gunfight at the OK Corral on Fifth Avenue in Manhattan on Thursday night. Unity, the Obama people couldn\u2019t bring anybody together. This is all such a smoke screen, unity and all this rotgut, which takes us back to the Drive-By caller we had that couldn\u2019t hang on, or didn\u2019t hang on. And that is, ‘Sounds to me, Rush, like you don\u2019t want to work with Democrats.\u2019 I don\u2019t want to work with Democrats, unless they change their mind. If they change their mind and understand that our vision for the country, rooted in our nation\u2019s founding, is the best way for the future, fine, bring \u2019em in. But I don\u2019t want to go have meaningless talks with them, where the end result is that I have to give up what I believe in order to say we\u2019re working together. It\u2019s been going on for way too long. <\/p>\n

I\u2019ll make you another prediction. There\u2019s an 80% chance the Democrats are going to have 60 seats in the Senate following the November elections, eighty percent chance. But, folks, even if they don\u2019t get 60 seats, there are enough liberal Republicans that if they only get 56, 57 seats, there are enough liberal Republicans to give them 60 votes on any issue, which means that let\u2019s say Senator McCain does win, doesn\u2019t matter what judges he appoints. Not going to matter what he does on tax cuts. Not in the Senate. They\u2019re going to have 60 votes and be able to defeat any legislative initiative he wants unless it\u2019s something they want. Now, in the House, they\u2019re going to expand their margins, but they\u2019re going to have not quite the power in the House that they will have in the Senate. I mean the Senate\u2019s looking really, really bad. I gotta prepare you for this. All\u2019s not lost as we sit here today, the snapshot of the picture is that it looks very, very bad. If the Democrats get 60 seats then it really doesn\u2019t matter who the president is, to a certain extent. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
