RUSH: Nikki Haley, talking about South Carolina. She’s the governor. Listen to this…

HALEY: We build things in the Palmetto State. We build planes. We build cars. The Wall Street Journal said: “Anyone still thinking the US has lost its manufacturing chops hasn’t been to” South Carolina. I work day in and day out to try and improve the lives of the people of my state — and sadly, the hardest part of my job continues to be this federal government, this administration, and this president. Unfortunately, these past few years, you can work hard, try to be as successful as possible, follow the rules. And President Barack Obama will do everything he can to stand in your way.

RUSH: That was Tuesday night, and she was one of the stars of Tuesday night. She went early, before the primetime cameras were turned on. But she had some amazingly great things to say and I wanted to get a sound bite of her in here before we had to wrap it up for today.
