Obama wins N.C., trails in close Indiana contestA two point win for Clinton in Indiana, a state in which "The Limbaugh Effect" was operating. You know about the Limbaugh Effect, don't you? Old Lardo extolling his followers to vote for Clinton in the Democratic primaries to create chaos. In some states who have open primaries, like Indiana, it's a simple thing to do. Any Republican who wants too can vote. In others with closed primaries, they have to temporairily switch parties to do it, which has caused some problems in some states as those who switched could not then vote in closely contested state Republican primaries in those states. Ooops.
Now why, you ask, would Limbaugh be extolling his followers to vote for Clinton, and why would right wing Republican publishers like Pittsburgh Tribune-Review owner and publisher, billionaire Richard Mellon Scaife (a big winner in the Bush tax plan) further extol his readers to vote for Clinton? Chaos is not the reason. So what is the reason? The same reason that our very own RushReader continues the rumor and innuendo parade against Obama.
They would rather face Clinton in November. They deem that match up as being more winnable. In other words, fear for their candidate, "John McBush". Is Obama electable? The actions of the Republican media and bloggers says "YES" in a big, big way...that's why they are so scared of him.
Too funny.
