Hillary won Indiana due to Rush Limbaugh's Operation Chaos; what do her supporters have to say?
Asked about a McCain-Clinton general election, 17 percent of the polled said they’d vote for McCain. 41 percent of that 17 percent, or 7 percent of the polled people chose Clinton over Obama. So 7 percent of the people polled voted for Clinton in the primary, but not vote for her in the general.
You can do the math on the same question for Obama — it’s on the next page of the link. You get 19 percent voting for McCain over Obama, and 12 percent of that 19 percent choosing Obama over Clinton, so 2.3 percent voted for Obama in the primary, but would not in the general.
So Clinton leads this contest by 4.7 percent of the voters polled, which is I suppose a potential proxy for the Limbaugh effect.

Clinton doesn't control Rush. Also, Rush is just engaging in self promotion.

3. Not only Rush. A bunch of registrations just "accidently" got scrubbed
in Lake County and in other strategic locations. In the thousands.

13. GOP vote WAS split, but most her her GOP vote will desert her. Most of his won't. That's the point

11. Please stop this shit, Obama is going to be the presumptive nominee in two weeks
So all of this is moot and frankly just plain divisive.

21. Obama just got 4 superdelegates
Seriously, chill out. I'm just as ready as you for Obama to be the presumptive nominee. We all know it's going to happen, Hillary is just bargaining at this point. Let her do her thing and drop out in two weeks.

12. there was very little difference in the 11% repubs who voted for the candidates
both got a share.

Overall, the republicans have effectively split between the candidates.

Your argument is bogus.

23. This is so funny . . .
After all the abuse from the Clinton supporters who insisted, insisted that she was going to be president and taking down all the names of those of us who dare oppose her, she finally bites the dust.

With any luck, President Obama will serve two highly successful terms and so change politics in America (and the world) that we will wonder what we ever saw in the Clintons.

25. I seriously wonder if they'll both get arrested for something after she loses.
She will lose her Senate seat, that's for sure, then I wonder what.

29. thanks for the clarification
and yet, I still feel threatened by the comment, since you made it so personal, and all.

I guess I completely misunderstood your reason for saying it.


NOT

says anything a clinton supporter doesn't want to hear?

32. Or they can just make some vague statement about the nature of lies.
It's supposed to rub off on the facts and make them look untrue or something.

19. to be fair, I just think clinton benefitted from coinciding interests
One person's interest was to prolong the primary artificially in order to destroy Obama's chances in the general.
and the other one is a radio personality.

:)

seriously, they both have the same goal for different reasons: destroying Obama's chances. Rush so the republicans will win in 2008, and Clinton so that she can run again in 2012.

33. How ironic--this was probably the only time those Republicans ever voted for a decent candidate!
