Rush Nails It on Obama and the Superdels

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.
