For example, she barely eked out a popular vote victory in Texas (losing the state overall) and there were reports that her slight margin of victory there was a result of Limbaugh's listeners crossing party lines to vote for her, precisely so she would drag this thing out.

If that is, in fact, the case doesn't that call into question her entire argument in this particular area of debate?


One of the more ironic twists to come out of dittohead voting is in Mississippi. You will recall his Operation Chaos. No, not a reference to his doctor shopping. This was when he told Republicans in Mississippi to cross over and vote for Senator Clinton in the Democratic primary last week. He never mentioned, he didn‘t know, didn‘t care, wasn‘t conscious at the time, that Mississippi Republicans who did cross over in the primary could not then vote in next week‘s special Republican primary runoff for Congress in the state‘s first district. And that may wind up costing the more conservative of the two Republican candidates as many as 3,000 votes. That figures to be enough to give his more moderate rival the Republican nomination.

It gets worse. One of the Democrats running for the seat in the Mississippi first is considered more conservative than 85 percent of the Republicans in the state. Meaning Rush Limbaugh‘s big mouth may get a Democrat elected to Congress.
