Does Rush's Operation Chaos have a part in the polls about Hillary voters.
Advertisements [?]
Hearing about these polls in the MSM that show the percent of Hillary voters who support Obama, I can't help but wonder what the criteria is by the pollsters for establishing who is a "Hillary voter".

MSNBC was saying that only 54% of Hillary voters are supporting Obama and that 20 something percent are saying they will vote for McCain. So how many of these people intended to vote for McCain from the beginning? I think that it is unfair that no mention is made of this Operation Chaos phenomenon is mentioned when they mention these polls.

I do not believe that 25% of 18 million voters (supposedly Democrats) are switching to supporting the Republican party in this current political climate. Don't you think it would be a bigger story if 5 million Dem voters intended to switch to Republican. Polling about party identification does not reflect this.

I am not saying that no legitimate, dem Hillary supporter would vote for McCain, I just do not believe that there are 5 million of them.
