Exit polls show signs that Limbaugh's minions turned out for Clinton

Rush Limbaugh would like little more than to see Democrats Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama keep fighting each other for at least the next month, if not until the Democratic Convention itself.

Before the Texas and Ohio primaries in early March, the conservative talker began encouraging listeners to cross over and cast ballots for Clinton in Democratic primaries. At the very least, he figured, the Democrats would keep fighting each other and let GOP nominee John McCain float above the fray. In perhaps his most optimistic scenario, Clinton would grab the nomination, giving the right another crack at one of their favorite foes in a general election campaign.

Limbaugh dubbed his scheme "Operation Chaos," and plenty of signs were emerging Tuesday evening that it was working, especially in Indiana, where Clinton appeared headed for a slim victory. Exit polls conducted by the major news networks showed an unusually high number of Clinton supporters planned to vote for McCain in the fall and felt the former first lady did not share their values.

1. 7% by my numbers

2. The poll I saw on that was that they broke close to even between

Clinton and Obama.

But what I really want to say is that Limpballs can go fuck himself.

Edited for moranish spelling. :blush:

5. No, there's a big difference. The 45% of Republicans who voted for Obama intend to vote for him Nov

The 55% of the Republicans who voted for Hillary do NOT intend to vote for her in November.

This means that while Obama really is drawing Republicans over to vote for him, Hillary is not. Her Republican crossovers are fool's gold. They're not real votes. They're agents of sabotage, working for Rush Limbaugh to help Hillary stay in the race as long as possible.

She's Rush's girl, Joe Scarborough's girl, Pat Buchanan's girl. They hate her, but they want to run against her because they know she will lose and drag down other races with her.

9. If you say so

But, I'll bet they don't.

McCain will win Indiana by a pretty big margin in Indiana.

It's a nice spin though.

I used to work in Indiana and I have a lot of friends in Indiana and their perspective is what I just said.

11. it's called anecdotal evidence for a reason

Your faith in it notwithstanding. I'm basing mine upon exit poll data reported.

I suppose you didn't watch the news last night.

Thanks for sharing your personal guesstimate.

8. But they said they planned to vote for McCain in Nov. So, duh.

Apparently they WERE mischief voting.

3. Operation Chaos is the real reason Hillary eked out 52%.

The Clinton people are smart enough to know this and it would be a real shame if they continue this charade. McCain and now Rush.

6. She got the same% of Democratic votes as she did republikkan

If the election had been restricted to just Democrats voting she'd have done a little better, as Obama scored better among independents.

4. The problem with his Operation Chaos

is that the Esteemed Senator McCain, can't really buy a headline right now and is pretty much out of the picture in the media. So I question just how well this is working for the "logic challenged" Mr. Limbaugh?

[Kahuna]

7. Of course they did. They also gave her the win in TX. nt

[rpannier]

10. She won the votes of Democratic voters as well

Obama won the independent votes

12. To bad he didn't make them donate to her....... she could use the scratch. n/t.....

13. The Operation Chaos voters are the dumbest of the dumb

Following the advice of their morally bereft, self-important radio guru, they vote for Hillary for "fun" in order to prolong the primary season for Democrats. Ironically, I think they HAVE made a difference and Obama is now a far tougher, more seasoned candidate who has prevailed over Clinton, the kitchen sink, the media, and the corrupt chaos vote.

What I personally find hilarious is that these "morans" willingly gave up their voice and vote to stand behind and select any state or local Republican candidates that might have been on the primary ballots. Maybe the message is that really, NO ONE , including Limbaugh and his ragtag group of miscreants, takes the Republican Party seriously anymore.
