RUSH:
I actually wasn’t surprised by this. Folks, I gotta tell you something. I’ve been trying to think, honestly, objectively think the whole weekend. And I’m gonna ask you. Maybe I’m forgetting something. I don’t recall a vice presidential pick which has so energized the party. I don’t remember a vice presidential pick that has so energized a campaign as this choice of Paul Ryan.
These crowds, these standing-room-only crowds, the enthusiasm at these rallies, something about this, just a gut feeling I have. I don’t want to attach too much to it because it was gonna happen anyway, a vice presidential pick, but I’ve been thinking about this all weekend long. I go back and forth, the positives, the negatives, the strict political science analysis of it. Then you compare that with just the gut feel, and you come away with… at least I have come away with the following conclusion. This is it. This election, we’ve said it before and others have said it, but this is ball game.

Wild Thing’s comment………
I agree with Rush!!
Not gloating, just soooo very grateful.
4 years ago, Rush.
Sarah had more than a little to do with spiking the Mc Cain campaign, and for them getting as many votes as they did.
I attended a couple of rallies featuring Sarah in 2008 and I can tell you without a doubt, that it has happened before.
Now we need Mitt to get on the same page as Paul, not ignore or show tepid support as Mc Cain and his staff did.
BINGO Sean! That was my very first thought at hearing this Rush statement. Sarah energized me like I had not been energized politically in 30 years. I made my first major political donation to the McCain/Palin campaign only an hour after the official announcement of her nomination. They said that the 24 hrs. after that announcement was the most new contributions that campaign ever received.
I don’t know why Rush made this statement, but it reminds me of his statement Bill(Clinton) will be the most hated man in America and will not win reelection(in 1996) and his statement Hillary(Clinton) will not run for senator from New York.
I am satisfied with Ryan as VP candidate. I had feared Romney might pick Chris Cristi.
