If Rush Limbaugh couldn't STOP McLame from getting the Repuke nomination...
...how was he supposedly able to help Clinton win some of her races? Seriously, he apparently doesn't have that much clout, yet when it's a chance not to truly bash Limpballs, but Hilary, some people will buy into it.

1. He cannot. I'd just as soon not talking about the wetbrain fuck any more.
KO has it correct, he is a commodian...I mean comedian.

And Sherry Jacobius (?) is an ignorant person.

2. It takes a few percentage points to change the outcome
of a open primary like Indiana's. As someone who worked the polls in Indiana yesterday, I can tell you, that crossover vote was very real. The exit polls bear that out too. Seriously.

3. It's much easier to sway things by a few percentage points,
especially when the republican nomination has already been decided. Rush gave Indiana to hillary.

4. Probably the people who like McCain's crossover ability aren't dedicated Limbaugh people
The people that Limbaugh has some sway over aren't the ones who voted for McCain.

5. Easy. The Repubs are united in their quest to undermine the Dem party.
They weren't united about which candidate to choose for themselves.

6. IF oxyboy CAN deliver a state to Hillary...
why didn't he pull it off in NC or one of the states she was trailing in?

...I can claim to use my 'clairvoyant powers' to influence a 'close' race by telling yahoos that I am 'swaying the vote' toward the favorite...

8. Exactly.

He gets his "power" from people gullible enough to believe him. Americans have always been preyed upon by flimflam artists, no less today than in the past.
