RUSH: Audio sound bite. Sam Donaldson, Good Morning America today. It\u2019s over, he says.<\/p>\n

DONALDSON: I think he\u2019s headed for a loss with allllll the people out there saying they trust the Democrats and Obama, more than the Republicans to fix this, I think he would be headed for a loss. I don\u2019t see anything that he can do. Now, I\u2019m a (haughty chuckle) political reporter, as you know, Diane, and I know all we can do is watch, and something could happen. But unless it does, he\u2019s going to lose.<\/p>\n

RUSH: So it\u2019s another Drive-By Media person saying it\u2019s over. That\u2019s Sam Donaldson. We have a montage of the Drive-By spin after the debate that McCain was winning. He was winning big…until he mentioned Ayers.<\/p>\n

GEORGE STEPHANOPOULOS: Senator McCain, unprompted, brought up the issue of Bill Ayers. One of his worst moments. <\/p>\n

TERRY MORAN: That Bill Ayers attack hasn\u2019t seemed to work for him at all. <\/p>\n

CHARLIE ROSE: Hasn\u2019t the Ayers thing, tonight, didn\u2019t it end that conversation? <\/p>\n

CHRIS WALLACE: William Ayers? Is that relevant? <\/p>\n

NINA EASTON: William Ayers, (gasp) a question which we all were all (gasp) waiting for. <\/p>\n

DAVID ‘RODHAM\u2019 GERGEN: Get rid of this stuff about Bill Ayers, all this garbage we have been going through. <\/p>\n

HILARY ROSEN: Obama was on defense for the first 20 minutes of this debate. McCain ruined it for himself … prolonged the discussion about Bill Ayers. <\/p>\n

RUSH: What are these people so afraid of? McCain didn\u2019t lose the debate because of Bill Ayers. McCain won the debate, pure and simple. By the way, I just found out the University of Nebraska at Lincoln has invited Bill Ayers to come speak soon. One of their… I forget the organization. It\u2019s not the whole university, but he\u2019s going in there. Academia is rallying around Bill Ayers. Here\u2019s David ‘Rodham\u2019 Gergen, after the debate. McCain has anger management problems.<\/p>\n

GERGEN: Got overemotional about it! He looked angry! It was almost like an — an exercise in anger management up there for him to contain himself. Uh, and Obama maintained his cool, and I thought that changed the tone of the debate and that Obama won the last half hour.<\/p>\n

RUSH: He was so cool, Obama! So, so cool.<\/p>\n

Obama is cold. He\u2019s cold. Now, here\u2019s David Brooks. He\u2019s one of the guys that couldn\u2019t wait, couldn\u2019t way for McCain. McCain was the guy. McCain was going to go get Democrats and independents! McCain was the savior of the Republican Party. McCain was the only guy that gave us a chance! On Charlie Rose last night, David Brooks had this to say.<\/p>\n

BROOKS: What struck me is how incredibly even he is and how, frankly, reassuring he is. It\u2019s like you\u2019re camping and you wake up one morning and there\u2019s a mountain and then the next morning there\u2019s a mountain and then the next morning there\u2019s a mountain. Obama is just the mountain. He\u2019s there. He\u2019s always the same. He doesn\u2019t hurt himself. McCain can sometimes lob a cannon ball into the mountain but the mountain doesn\u2019t move and the mountain doesn\u2019t care. So I think his steadiness, his temperament has been the dramatic theme of this, uh, this campaign, dramatic as being undramatic, and it was to display tonight. Uh, and the good part of the mountain is that he\u2019s reassuring and reliable.<\/p>\n

RUSH: There you have it, David Brooks, the conservative columnist for the New York Times reassured by the steadiness, reliability, mountain-like stature of Obama. Is this drooling or what? Does he want to marry the guy? Does he want to have kids with the guy? What is this? He\u2019s a mountain. He\u2019s a rock! It\u2019s exactly right. What he is, is a load. But this is the ‘conservative\u2019 columnist for the New York Times who wants the era of Reagan to be over and that conservatism needs to be ‘redefined\u2019 and so forth. I guess to Brooks and his buddies conservatism has been redefined. The Republican Party has found its rock, and it\u2019s Barack Obama.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
