This is so obvious to anyone not personally vested in the situation, but leave it Rush to put it (relatively) succinctly (additional paragraphing added by me):

Now, you superdelegates have a real tough decision to make here. You know full well you have a totally flawed candidate here.

You know full well when you hear that that you are hearing your party’s probable standard-bearer tell this country that it is not exceptional. Your candidate is ignorant of all of the production that this country has shared with the world in the form of inventions, creations, and advancements in lifestyle that have benefited people the world over, who live in democracies and free market societies. Your candidate is doing his level best to tell the people that he wants to vote for him and your party that the United States of America is guilty, that its best days are behind us, that there is no future, that we cannot keep living as we have, and if we do, we are going to destroy our reputation in the world and the world itself.

You know full well this man cannot be elected. You superdelegates know, in your hearts, he cannot be elected. He can’t be elected even against John McCain. He cannot be elected. You know it. You know you are looking at a disaster. If he keeps talking like this — and there’s every expectation he will because his mind is nothing more than a sponge that has soaked up all of the gobbledygook and anti-American BS that he hears from his university buddies. When you listen to Obama speak, you may as well be listening to a college professor, tenured or otherwise.

Now, you supers, we were told that after, what was it, North Carolina, that there would be a steady stream of superdelegates announcing for Obama and for a couple days, there was a trickle, but it has stopped. I saw one today has decided to go to Obama after this huge victory in Oregon. Where are you all?

Obama’s now reduced, after having been blown out of five of the last seven primaries, I mean blown out, blown out, not getting anywhere near the votes necessary from your most popular constituency, working class white voters, he’s demonstrating he cannot win this election. You know full well he can’t. It is time for you supers to buck up here. It is time for you to get with the program and get with the plan.

I share your pain. I understand the dilemma that you face. You’re worried to death that if you take this away from him, that you’re going to have riots, you’re going to have all kinds of problems with the black vote. I keep trying to tell you, you have done far worse to black people in this country and your own party than taking the nomination away from Barack Obama. And they have always stuck with you, and they will keep sticking with you.

What is the point, superdelegates, of being super, if you’re not going to be super? What’s the point of being a rubber stamp? The superdelegates were set up to be “super” delegates. The superdelegates were set up to prevent the very mistake that is on the verge of being made by your party.

I can hear what you’re saying back to me, saying, “Mr. Limbaugh, we understand you, but do you realize what our option is? It’s Hillary Clinton.” Yeah, I know the dilemma that you’re in. I understand the problem that you’ve got. I understand that for a lot of you superdelegates, it’s really not even about the party. It’s about you personally and you wanting a future.

Let me put it in terms that are very stark to you. You want to support somebody who’s going to lose this election? Does that make you a winner? Does that help you out down the road?

You have, in Barack Obama, one of the most flawed candidates that a political party has ever been on the verge of nominating to be president of the United States, and you know it. He thinks he has campaigned in 57 states. He has said things that Dan Quayle would have been tarred and feathered for saying. He is a gaffe machine. Gaffe after gaffe after gaffe.

….. You are there to prevent just this kind of mistake. You are there to prevent another Jimmy Carter. You are there to prevent another George McGovern. You are in the process of nominating one who encapsulates both of them.

That final point is pretty important. Even if John McCain runs the worst campaign in recorded history and Obama wins, as Carter did against a terrible campaign by Ford, the Dems will likely end up losing big, as Carter did after four years to Reagan.

….. But I Don’t Have Time For:

• I pray that this holds for the rest of the month and beyond — No deaths would of course be better, but this month’s US troop death toll in Iraq is on track to be the lowest for any single month ever. We all can agree that this is a relatively good thing ….. right?
• Given the attempted history rewrite by the candidate I refer to as HR4C (Hillary Rodham Cackling Crying Complaining Clinton), here’s a timely reminder — “Media Recount: Bush Won the 2000 Election.”
• Imagine getting fired for writing this. It’s not just something to imagine; it has happened. I agree with Roland Hansen: the person who should get fired is University of Toledo President Lloyd Jacobs (HT Carnival of Ohio Politics), who wrote this travesty of a letter (opens in a separate window) informing Crystal Dixon of her termination.
• Thanks to IBDeditorials.com for saying this — “(Google) has become a useful idiot for Islamofascism.”
• In case you missed it — Michelle Malkin’s great column on gaffes by the presidential candidate I refer to as “Mr. BOOHOO-OUCH” (Barack O-bomba Overseas Hussein “Obambi” Obama - Objectively Unfit Coddler of Haters). It expands on the points made at two previous BizzyBlog posts (here and here) about double standard-driven media treatment of Dan Quayle compared to Obama.
• Really dumb headline of the day (HT La Times’s LA Land Blog) — “Foreclosure tale shows that nobody is immune from crisis.” This is about a California congressperson (guess which party?) who bought a home that, as of March 19 (noted at end of linked article), was to “be sold at auction.” It’s not as if some “crisis” just came along and inflicted itself on Laura Richardson. She voluntarily bought a second home. And writer Anthony York wants her to be seen as just another victim?
• The presidential candidate I refer to as JS3M3 (John Sidney the Mad Maverick McCain III) is set to release his medical records Friday. The McCain campaign is not inviting the New York Times to attend. According to Captain Ed at Hot Air, the New York Times said it “would take a negative view about the release of the records if an invitation was not forthcoming.” Translation: We’ll cover the story differently if we don’t get access. If true, this is not only an outrage, it’s a direct violation of NY Times Ethics Policy Paragraph 21 (”We do not threaten to damage uncooperative sources, nor do we promise favorable coverage in return for cooperation”; HT California Yankee). Again if true, it should also inspire mass subscription cancellations and advertiser defections.

It’s here.

I’ll post it here at BizzyBlog on Saturday morning (link won’t work until then) under the title “California Draggin’: Its Basket-Case Economy and Bloated Welfare System Are Holding Back the US Economy” after the blackout expires.

From Portsmouth, UK:

10 May 2008

As teenager Jessica Barnett smiles and jokes, it is hard to imagine the pain she has suffered.
Only 14 months ago, she was a victim in an horrific road smash which almost cost the 19-year-old her life. The Renault Clio she was driving was hit by an ambulance on the A32 at Mislingford, near Wickham, on February 9 last year.

Jessica suffered a horrific head injury so severe that when Dr Steve Smallwood and consultant anaesthetist Sam Hutchings – all three are pictured on the front page – reached her they were almost certain she would not survive.

But thanks to the life-saving efforts of the doctors – who were volunteers with the Hampshire branch of the British Association of Immediate Care at the time – she pulled through.

Yesterday it was all smiles as the trio were reunited for the first time since Jessica’s brush with death, and she was delighted to meet the people who saved her life.

She said: ‘I think they’re amazing. I can’t thank them enough. They are just fantastic people. I know for a fact I wouldn’t be alive if they hadn’t helped me. That’s why I’m so thankful to them.’

Dr Smallwood, who is also a GP at the Wickham Group Surgery in Station Road, Wickham, said: ‘When I got there, Jessica was in the car. There was a paramedic looking after her, supporting her head and trying to keep her airways open.

‘She was deeply unconscious and had clearly suffered a severe head injury. I said at the time they will be turning the ventilator off in a few days. It’s amazing how well she’s done.

‘Seeing people like Jessica is the reason we do it. She’s the proof that what we do works.’ …..

Go here for the rest of the story.
