Operation Disgust
Rush Limbaugh is continuing his campaign to get more Republican voters to cross over and vote for Clinton in the primaries. Over 100,000 people switched to the democratic party in Ohio. I suspect that number will be much higher today in Indiana and North Carolina. We may never know the exact numbers, but I don't think you can ignore the impact of this tactic. I suspect the real motivation is the money Limbaugh would make if Clinton were elected. This is a way to hedge his bets. The Clinton years made Limbaugh's career a success. Another term would solidify his listeners.
Here is the quote from his site used to sell bumper stickers.
"Make your gas guzzler a rolling support vehicle for Operation Chaos! It's all part of Rush's effort to keep the Democrat Party in disarray. The sticker features the red, white and blue Operation Chaos logo. We used the national colors because Operation Chaos is patriotic!" - (taken from Rush Limbaugh's website)The good news is that this type of partisanship is exactly what drives many voters to Obama.

I think this may explain to some degree the response by many Clinton voters in PA that they wouldn't vote for Obama, but for McCain in November. An interesting follow up question to Clinton voters is how many of them plan to vote for her or for McCain in the Fall. If that number is any where near 15 to 20% I think you have your answer. I think that part of the Clinton margin is GOPers doing mischief.
Of course, she's sounding more like GW every day. I hope this thing ends today!
