Thanks to Rush Limbaugh and Ann Coulter and some other conservative fanatics we still have Hillary as a viable candidate.
Limbaugh and others encouraged Republicans and Independents to cross over and vote for Hillary in Texas to prolong the Democrat primary process and to promote a fractious Convention. Wiser heads like Gingrich advised staying out of it. Exit polls clearly show that it had an effect in Texas as Republicans voted for Hillary by 3 to 1. In the Caucus part of the "Texas 2 step" where only registered Dems could participate , Obama beat Hillary.
In Ohio , Independents voted 2 to 1 for Hillary. She would have won Ohio anyway but by a narrower margin than she in fact did and would have picked up fewer delegates.
I don't know about Coulter ( and really don't care ) but in his heart of hearts, Limbaugh knows the worst possible outcome is for Hillary to win the General Election. Obama's policies may be as anathema as Hillary's but he's smarter and is a MUCH more decent and honest person than she is. National security and taxes will NOT be enough for McCain to beat Hillary. It's just not going to be a Republican year so why not enable the least bad Dem. who will at least listen to contrary views as opposed to Hillary whose instinct is to "crush" those who dare to disagree with her ?
