I hope Rush Limbaugh doesn't see this ... link

It might cut down on his gloating about shaping the Democratic race:

Of the 140,000 Pennsylvania Republicans and independents who switched registration in the last year to Democrat, the majority are Obama voters, the director of the Franklin and Marshall College poll, G. Terry Madonna, said. Registration for the state's closed April 22 primary ended March 24. "If 2 million people vote in Pennsylvania, which would be a huge number, I think Obama gets 85,000 to 90,000 switchers," Mr. Madonna said.

1. I am not all that surprised by this

The Obama GOTV was massive here the last month!

2. I've been saying this all along.

Rush has NO power whatsoever to influence the electorate.

3. He definitely influenced the vote in Texas and Ohio...

...and that's a fact.

I listened to Rush's show and heard his callers telling tales of switching, voting
for Hillary and proclaiming that they, "now needed to take a shower."

I heard the same thing on Glenn Beck.

We don't know how many Republicans did this, but many did.

So, Rush did influence "the electorate."

We should not ignore this. Rush should not be screwing with our elections.
To be in denial about this is to allow Rush to get away with election tampering.

7. Not in my part of Ohio

He has a power fantasy going. Try not to buy into it. He wants you to think he's a god or something. He's not.

10. I think you're basically right

There have been real switchers, but is this going to go beyond the primary? I doubt it. Have the switchers had much effect on the primary? Really, we don't know, which suggests that the answer is "no."

9. As a Texas, I know of a couple "Operation Chaos" switchers too...

...but I'm still doubting how much depth there is.

Limbaugh is claiming that he has secret delegates going national. I don't believe that.

6. This has been the pattern all along.

How many states can you name where Clinton won majority of the republican vote? That being said, it will be interesting to see how these crossovers vote in the GE. Other then hearsay does anyone have any statistical results showing they will not vote party line in november? Can it not also be argued statistically Clinton supporters by a percentage of 38% will vote off party if she isn't the nominee per the Gallup Poll. Another consideration, Obama ahead in popular vote by 700,000 and considering he won majority crossover vote in most states could be an indicator republicans believe Obama will be easier to defeat in the GE.

8. All of the Clinton crossovers in I met , here is SW OH, were REAL

and planning to vote Clinton in the fall.

4. Rush is a big influence only in his fat drug-bloated head

The Operation Chaos thing is a joke.

His side will get their asses kicked come November.

5. I hope we have some clown shoes to kick Limbaugh's ass with

Cos that's a big ass. Watch out for the cyst.
