Operation Chaos
Rush Limbaugh Flips to Obama
By Tommy Christopher - Politics DailyAfter months of advising his listeners to vote for Hillary Clinton in open Democratic primaries, ultra-conservative radio host Rush Limbaugh is changing his tune by urging Democratic superdelegates to force the issue and make Barack Obama their nominee. From CNN: "I now believe he would be the weakest of the Democrat nominees," Limbaugh, among the most powerful voices in conservative radio, said on his program. "I now urge the Democrat superdelegates to make your mind up and publicly go for Obama." "Barack Obama has shown he cannot get the votes Democrats need to win -- blue-collar, ...

Limbaugh Effect Gives Hillary Indiana?
By Tommy Christopher - Politics DailyAs I reported here last week, Rush Limbaugh has instituted something called "Operation Chaos," wherein he urges Dittoheads (a pet name Limbaugh uses for his fans) to vote for Hillary Clinton in open Democratic Primaries in order to prolong the party's nominating process. Obama campaign spokesman Bill Burton sent this out last night via email: According to the latest exit polling data, 17% of voters in the Indiana primary today said they would vote for John McCain in a Clinton/McCain matchup. 41% of that number is constituted by people who voted Clinton in the primary but also indicated they ...
Rush Pauses Op. Chaos; Op. RonDemption Soars
By Tommy Christopher - Politics DailyYesterday, on Rush Limbaugh's radio show, the self-described Commander-in-Chief, US, Operation Chaos, issued new orders to his army of Dittoheads: Ladies and gentlemen, I am calling an operational pause in Operation Chaos. We have a week to figure out now what's best to do...My gut reaction here, after hearing Obama, was to issue orders changing directives, i.e., vote Obama in remaining primaries. But I'm holding back. He went on to explain that he wants to see how the mainstream media covered Barack Obama's reaction to the Reverend Jeremiah Wright's fresh gems from the National Press Club ...
DittoHeads For Hillary, Meet Dems For Ron Paul
By Tommy Christopher - Politics DailyRush Limbaugh is at it again, trying to wreak havoc on the Democratic Primary race. From Buzzfeed: Rush Limbaugh urges his conservative fans to vote for Hillary so that neither Democrat can win the primaries. In Limbaugh's own words: "The endgame is to see that neither of these candidates can win by virtue of the primaries" assuring that Hillary and Barack "will be so bloodied and brought down to earth that neither can win in the general." A few outside observers think that Operation Chaos is actually working while others are skeptical. Of course, Rush is happy to take full credit for the ...
Cuyahoga Won't Prosecute Crossovers
By Dave - Politics DailyThree out of the four members of Cuyahoga County Board of Elections decided not to engage in an expensive, time consuming and doubtful investigation (Cuyahoga is Cleveland, Ohio). This all started when it became obvious that quite a few Republicans decided to become Democrats for a day. The day of the Ohio primary. Add in Rush's operation chaos, and one of the BOE members wanted to go hammer and tongs: Democratic board member Sandy McNair, who initiated the investigation, asked the board at Monday's meeting to subpoena a Westlake Republican who wrote "Today Only" on his pledge card when he ...
Rush Limbaugh Safe
By Dave - Politics DailyI never doubted it, but now I have a little more backup, via the Columbus Dispatch: "We have no intention of prosecuting Rush Limbaugh because lying through your teeth and being stupid isn't a crime," said Leo Jennings, a spokesman for Democratic Attorney General Marc Dann. When asked whether she has concerns about what Limbaugh did, Secretary of State Jennifer Brunner, a Democrat, replied, "I think it's very bad form, but I think most voters are intelligent enough to make their own decisions." I wonder what Mr. Jennings thinks about lefty blogger Markos of DailyKos, who was running his ...
