    Default Thanks Rush !

    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 ?

    On further reflection it wouldn't surprise me if Limbaugh WANTS Hillary to win.
    His ratings will certainly go way up with her in the Oval Office and there'll never be a shortage of salacious material with Bill tomcatting about.

    Coulter definitely cares only about herself. As long as her books sell and she's in demand for paid speaking engagements before a crowd of nabobs and yahoos,she'll be happier than Bill at the Bunny Ranch.

    And unfortunately , they and others have plenty of fans and "ditto-heads" who do as they say. Certainly enough to help Hillary win the popular vote in Texas.

    exactly the same aisle-crossing in primary elections was responsible for dooming Mitt Romney. However, since it was democrat leaning 'independents' who crossed the aisle to vote for John McCain, there was a virtual total lack of news coverage and or outrage.

    Yeah but this was the first time it helped Hillary and hurt Obama. Until Texas , he was getting the lion's share of Indies and Republicans.

    I agree with Rush looking for Hillary to get him ratings. I stopped listening to him years ago. I can't be the only one.
