Time Text
Welcome to today's edition of the Rush 24-7 podcast.
And greetings, my friends.
Greetings and welcome to.
The most powerful, the most influential radio talk show in America.
You're listening to it.
You're part of it.
It's the Rush Limbaugh program here on the Excellence in Broadcasting Network.
I am America's real anchor man, America's truth detector, and the Doctor of Democracy, all combined.
And a one harmless, lovable little Fuzball.
Great to have you with us today.
Here's the phone number.
Looking forward to talking to you.
Uh 800 two eight two eight eight two.
The email address is L Rushbow at EIB net.com.
What a night for Operation Chaos.
Even acknowledged in much of the local media throughout Pennsylvania.
The uh the drive-by's you just you can just Well, Fox also spent a lot of time talking about Operation Chaos.
But the drive-by media just, I mean, it just they just know it.
They just the elites in the media are just they are fit to be tied.
They're talking all around Operation Chaos without mentioning it.
The New York Times, which editorial uh editorialized in favor, endorsed Mrs. Clinton for president, uh, at least for the Democrat nomination in an editorial today appears to be pulling back.
There is total chaos in the Democrat Party, and I'm gonna spell out exactly what that chaos is in mere moments.
But first I want to thank and congratulate all of you troops, all of you volunteers in Operation Chaos for a job well done.
Once again, last night the exit polls were worthless.
The first wave of exit polls at one o'clock had a 17-point Hillary win.
The five o'clock wave of exit polls had Hillary up by four, fifty-two to forty-eight.
When the polls closed at eight o'clock, every drive-by news outlet said it's too close to call.
And yet it was Mrs. Clinton by almost ten points at the end of the night.
Uh, and I think a lot of uh drive-by operatives or a lot of operation chaos operatives uh actually uh did yeoman duty in misleading exit pollsters uh after they had voted.
Uh one thing that's been noticed is that Obama really does well in the exit polls, but doesn't it just uh the exact opposite when the votes are counted.
So a job well done, and today I, as uh SyncUSuck, Commander in Chief, U.S. Operation Chaos, I'm giving all of you in the uh in the rank and file an R day.
You have earned it.
You have deserved it.
However, I must upbraid some of you uh volunteers in Operation Chaos for disobeying orders.
At least you admitted it to me.
I received emails last night from people after listening to Mrs. Clinton's acceptance speech, who informed me that they had proceeded to donate money to Mrs. Clinton's campaign.
This has never been part of the plan.
Fundraising is Mrs. Clinton's job, it is her responsibility.
I have never issued such fundraising orders or donation orders to anybody, and those therefore, since no order was issued, some of you have disobeyed orders.
Uh the headquarters never issued the uh would never ever tell you to use your money to prop up the campaign of any Democrat running for the presidency of the United States.
I realize your intentions were honorable.
And you were think you were putting yourself in my shoes.
Sink USUC, Commander in Chief U.S. Operation Chaos, and you were imagining what I would do, uh, what I would tell you to do after Hillary's speech.
I will never tell you to part with your hard-earned funds donating to a Democrat presidential campaign.
That has never been part of Operation Chaos, and it will not be.
Let's start with the analysis of what happened by going to an audio soundbite.
This is Nora O'Donnell last night on DNC TV, otherwise known as PMS NBC.
This the statistics here will serve as our uh transition point.
NBC News poll specifically asked Clinton and Obama voters what they would do if their preferred candidate did not win the nomination.
And they were faced with the following choice.
Support the other Democrat or vote for John McCain or stay home.
First, as you see here, only 53% of Clinton voters said they would vote for Barack Obama.
That's stunningly 53%.
And when you look essentially at Obama voters, 69% said they would vote for Hillary Clinton if she ends up the nominee.
And what about those new voters that we were talking about?
Remember more than 300,000 new Democratic voters in Pennsylvania today?
Check out this number.
Twenty-nine percent of those new voters said they would not vote for Hillary Clinton in November.
Ladies and gentlemen, I give you Operation Chaos.
Now let's review these numbers.
Only 53% of Clinton voters say that they would vote for Obama.
Twenty-five percent of her supporters say they would vote for McCain.
Eighteen percent say they would stay home.
Operation chaos.
The drive-by is a stunned by this.
You heard Nora O'Donnell.
She can't figure this out.
So this is amazing.
Operation Chaos.
As for Obama voters, 69% say they'd go ahead and vote for Hillary if she's the nominee.
Uh sixteen percent say they'd vote for McCain, thirteen would stay home.
Twenty-nine percent of Obama voters uh would would not vote for Hillary.
According to these polls, let's say even 75% of that is true.
This portends an ill wind for the Democrats.
And what about those new voters?
Some 300,000 new voters in Pennsylvania.
Twenty-nine percent said they would not vote for Hillary Clinton in November.
Operation Chaos.
On Bloomberg News last night, uh they reported that one in ten voters, one in ten ten percent now in terms of election numbers.
This is a huge percentage.
One in 10 voters say they changed party registration to vote in this year's Pennsylvania primary.
10% of the vote is huge.
That would be five times the past high for a crossover vote with a closed primary.
An absolutely huge number.
Once again, ladies and gentlemen, that is Operation Chaos.
Now, what do we learn from last night?
Here's what we learned.
Obama is weak.
He cannot win the states that he must win big in November.
He cannot win Reagan Democrats.
He cannot expand his base.
Obama's but despite outspending Mrs. Clinton two or three to one.
Obama's base is elite white liberals and blacks.
He is not getting the Reagan Democrats, the blue-collar people, the clingers, the bitter clingers, the guns and religion crowd.
75% of them in Bob Casey's district and where he lives in North near Scranton voted against Obama.
They heard it.
And they also hear Jeremiah Wright when he talks, and they hear about Bill Ayers.
It is interesting, you know, the media reporting time and time again here how Obama is exciting so many voters.
How he is bringing all these new voters out, but he's losing.
Obviously, Hillary's base is bigger these days, and it's more excited than Obama's is, but you wouldn't know it by virtue of drive-by media coverage.
Uh it it was it it it watched this last night, and I just marvel.
If if you step back from this, step back from this.
If you are a superdelegate, you really do have to worry.
If Obama can win the general election, he can't draw votes from Hillary that he's gonna need in the general.
He can't do it.
He's as I say is getting these highly educated elite leftists and urban blacks for the most part.
He is not appealing in a broad-based way to all Democrat Party coalitions.
He was crushed.
And everybody's talking about this election last night didn't mean anything.
Uh, because it didn't change a delegate count significantly, and it didn't do he was crushed.
Ten points is big.
This is after day after day after day, the media reporting Hillary should get out, saying she can't win.
It didn't stop her people from turning out and voting.
It didn't stop Operation Chaos.
So this this was a huge.
I I think last night, and this is this it's not just a standalone.
You know, Obama has done really poorly since Super Tuesday.
He's been losing and losing and losing.
Uh And if the Republic, if the Democrats were running their primaries with the same delegate selection process the Republicans are, she would have had this wrapped up after Super Tuesday.
It would have been over already.
That's how convoluted the Democrats have made themselves.
I think what we're seeing last to right now is how weak Obama is.
There have to be, and they will not admit this, so don't look to hear this anywhere in the Democrat Party of Drive-by media.
There are serious, serious doubts in the minds of millions of Democrat voters about Obama.
These superdelegates would be nuts not to take notice of what is going on.
They would be nuts to be rushed into a bad judgment.
Now the San Francisco Chronicle today has an interesting story, vital boost for Clinton.
Pennsylvania wind breathes new life into her campaign, but Democratic leaders seem unconcerned that Clinton has taken the big states.
They report on what happened last night, and then they say this.
Few Democrats important to her nomination seem to much care, including superdelegates like Nancy Pelosi, whose comments seem to favor Obama.
Nor are they paying much attention to her argument that Obama's inability to put her away in the big states is uh is important.
Uh if Democrats have the well, I just told you they have the same winner takes all procedure to Republicans do.
I think this is a crock.
I think this notion that the superdelegates don't care about any of this, that the superdelegates it doesn't matter to them, that Obama cannot win the votes and the constituencies in the Democrat Party that he's going to need to in order to win this, I assure you, don't doubt me.
The superdelegates who understand what is going on would be far more comfortable if Obama had won these big blue states on his way to winning the popular vote, and he's behind even in the popular vote now.
I mean, he won red states.
He is behind by a million in the popular vote from what I saw this morning.
Now that's going to change, you know, as we get into North Carolina.
Did you see something different?
Well, it's close or whatever.
But I mean, she's got an argument here.
If she wants to take the popular vote angle, she she's going to have an argument.
But the the superdelegates in the grand poo buzz of the Democrat Party are not seeing a lot of movement for Obama where there needs to be movement, and that is blue-collar workers.
Uh he's he's he's done a good job of uh of of uh turning them off, turning them against him.
And I'm thinking that that, you know, Hillary right now probably is being viewed by a lot of Democrats, maybe millions of Democrats as the anti-Obama.
They don't know him.
And what they're hearing, they don't like now.
And there's I guarantee you there's some of them in the Democrat Party, even up to the superdelegate level who are starting to have second thoughts.
Let me put it to you this way.
If if we if we if if all we know now about uh Obama was known before Super Tuesday, if we knew about Reverend Wright, if we knew about his elitist view of the Klinger, bitter uh religion, God and gun people, before Super Tuesday, you think he'd be where he is right now?
He would not.
And I'm telling you, there are people in the Democrat Party who know this, and they're getting very, very worried about it.
Also, as I think about this, uh, ladies and gentlemen, they keep they they keep saying that Bill Clinton's screwing up.
I was thinking about this last night.
Bill Clinton screwing up, I don't think so.
I I think I think what Clinton has been doing is purposeful.
I think he's been attacking hard to draw Obama and his campaign into firing back, which they've now been doing, and that has knocked Obama off of his messianic pedestal.
It's knocked him off his game, staying positive.
He's now in the gutter with them, and he's gonna continue running negative commercials, which is really irritating the New York Times and a number of other Democrats, and they're really piling on both candidates for going negative now.
And of course, Hillary's response is why should I stop?
It's working.
Negative ads always do.
That's the dirty little secret.
Uh what Clinton's done has helped Team Clinton.
He's not stupid when it comes to political strategy.
No longer, I mean, this is the no longer can it be said that Obama is running a positive campaign.
No longer can it be said that Obama represents something different.
No longer can it be said that Obama is an agent of change?
No longer can any of that fluff that was attached to Obama in the early days of this campaign.
No longer can that be said, because he's down in the gutter with them now.
And we're finding out he doesn't like being in the gutter.
He cancels out of cowardice, uh, debate appearances in North Carolina with Hillary.
Uh so, you know, this is this is a major transformation has taken place here.
And while the drive-by's storyline, their action line, their narrative, is that this didn't really change anything, it just prolonged it.
Make no mistake.
There are several superdelegates who I am convinced are considering the doomsday option that I put forth as Sink Usock.
Commander in chief U.S. Operation Chaos last week, and that is that neither of these two can win.
They're incompetent, they're disliked, they're not by the time this ends up, neither of them are going to be very popular.
Third candidate may be their option.
I know later arriving show prep, don't panic.
Flashbobs and everything reminding me that the bump music was on.
Look, folks, I am serious about this.
Superdelegates need to really worry now.
The Democrat Party superdelegates, and they are, and trust me, don't doubt me.
Whatever you hear in the drive-bys, whenever you hear Pelosi speak, whenever you hear the superdelegates talk, you're not going to be.
Of course they're not going to tell you they're worried, but internally, they have to be.
If they're not, they should start.
They really need to be.
If they really want to win this, and you know they do.
A year ago they thought they already had.
You understand this is Howard Dean's worst nightmare.
They wanted her knocked out last night.
Last why Obama spent all that money.
And he still couldn't do it.
By the way, on the on the popular vote business.
If you throw in Michigan, I'm talking popular vote now, forget delegates.
Throw in Michigan and Florida, she's ahead in the popular vote.
She's a little over a million down, Snerdley was right, in the popular vote as we um as we speak today.
They wanted this over last night.
They wanted a huge Obama win or any kind of an Obama win to stop the bleeding.
And he got crushed.
They did not want this day to happen.
And I'm not talking about the fighting between the two of them, which is fairly obvious at this point as it continues.
What has happened here is that Obama's weakness as their likely nominee has been exposed big time.
Even people who aren't paying attention now can figure out he hasn't won anything of significance in a long time.
He just lost last night in a blowout in a key state.
A battleground state.
He lost to Hillary Clinton, who is hated by 50% of the country.
This is not what they envisioned.
They is not.
This is not where they wanted to be.
Ladies and gentlemen, you and I, the commander-in-chief and the volunteer troops of Operation Chaos have completely confounded the elites and the media.
The New York Times editorial page, which endorsed Hillary is now smearing the voters of Pennsylvania, saying their votes are tainted that the voters in Pennsylvania are stupid.
The editorial writers are sounding as desperate as their favored candidate is, meaning Hillary, and they are getting as boring, by the way, as Obama is with their long delusional screeds.
And they really upbraid Hillary and for going negative.
I'll share excerpts with you as the program unfolds.
But maybe not, because the New York Times is irrelevant.
Operation Chaos has more impact on what happened in Pennsylvania than the New York Times.
The voters who defied the elites and voted for Hillary because of their concerns about Obama are not regular readers of the New York Times or the New York Times editorial page.
Those are Obama voters, regardless of whom they may have endorsed earlier.
That's who reads the New York Times.
And there's a mantra, by the way, that I'm now hearing out there, ladies and gentlemen, that nothing much has changed here.
Despite Hillary's win, nothing much has changed.
Well, much in fact has changed.
More and more voters in key states are not voting for Obama.
They're having second thoughts about him.
After learning more about him, Reagan Democrats are voting for Hillary by default.
If Obama was the Messiah, so many in the media have built him up to be, this would not be happening, would it?
The blooms off the rose.
The myth that was Obama has been exposed.
What happened to all the people who were fainting at his rallies?
All of that was fraudulent.
You know who's kicking himself right now?
You know he's really steaming is Edwards.
Can you imagine John Edwards sitting there at his mansion in North Carolina, and his wife Elizabeth is probably doing a Rosalind Carter and elbowing him in the ribs and saying, You got out too soon.
Look at this whole campaign's falling apart.
You could be in there right now cleaning up after all these people.
Operation Chaos, doomsday option, superdelegates pick third candidate.
So the questions keep arising.
How can Hillary win this?
Everybody, how can you know what my question is?
I'm talking about the general.
How can Obama win it?
How can Obama let's talk about the primaries.
Forget General.
How can Obama win the primary?
He can't.
Both of these people have to rely on unelected superdelegates.
They both need unelected superdelegates to be the nominee.
The entire Democrat Party primary voting process means nothing.
How would you like to be them?
A man, a living legend, a way of life.
Learn it, love it, live it.
Folks, I gotta tell you, I'm so proud of you, and I am having so much fun with this on a uh a lot of different levels.
Uh one of the reasons that I'm having fun with this is I just love tweaking the elites in the media.
They they have an agenda too, and they will not admit it.
And their agenda is Obama.
And they have done everything they can to portray this guy as something that he's not.
They are the ones that started this mythology about the guy over a year ago with all these puff pieces.
They created this notion that he is a messiah.
I also love piercing the uh the attitude of arrogance and condescension, and it is rife throughout the left in this country.
They think they're better than everybody else.
They think they're smarter than everybody else.
The elites look down and with with condescension at everybody.
And they have had this thing mapped out, this presidential race mapped out.
Obama is it.
He's transformational.
He is uh he's he's gonna he's gonna redefine American politics.
All that he's he's been exposed here is nothing but average in terms of American politics and candidates.
He has proven the old adage when somebody comes along and tells you, hey, we got somebody new, there's no such thing.
American politics has been around too long.
We've seen every figure, every character, every personality type.
We have seen the messiahs, we have seen the average.
There's it is not possible for somebody that has not been before to come along and be.
It is not possible to have somebody who is going to represent a personality type and a competence that has never before run for president or been elected.
And yet that's what they tried to tell us about Barack Obama, that he's a unique candidate.
He's a never before.
And on the basis of what?
Skin color.
That's what set him apart.
And that, the elites in the Democrat Party and the drive-by media, that's all that counted.
And they went to work trying to hide his ultra-left wing liberalism from everybody.
Thanks to Operation Chaos and thanks to Bill Clinton, who loves living in the gutter.
He has now been successfully dragged to the gutter, and all of the mythology is up in smoke.
It's gone, and he will never ever be able to recapture this.
All this talk about Obama leading in the popular vote.
That's all well and good.
But he hasn't won enough of the popular vote to put him over the top.
And uh you look at here's here the way this is going to play out, I don't care.
I don't care who at the end of their primary process, neither one of these two is going to have enough delegates to win his party's nomination.
So whoever Is the nominee at their convention, they didn't win it.
And this is where the Democrats once again are shafting themselves.
They don't understand this.
Maybe some of the supers do.
Whoever their nominee is didn't win it.
Their nominee will be delivered to the party by party bosses, party hacks.
Democrat Party hacks are going to have to iron this out.
The superdelegates are the sole agents here.
All of these votes up till now won't matter except in terms of guiding the superdelegates with the popular vote or electoral vote, but it's they're not, they're not going to make the decision on that.
The superdelegates are going to make the decision based on one thing, which of these two can win.
Which of these two can beat McCain?
And if they conclude neither of them can, then it's the doomsday option of Operation Chaos.
Obama has gotten away with wrapping himself in the popular vote and the delegate count and all that, but he doesn't have enough of either at the end of the primary, so he's no more legitimately entitled to the nomination than Mrs. Clinton is.
And this is what they know.
Deep in their souls.
Don't have any.
Deep in their guts, the superdelegates.
This is what they know.
Obama is no more legitimately entitled to the nomination than Hillary Clinton is, and if he gets it, he was handed it by the party bosses and the party elites.
Pure and simple.
Salon.com, Walter Shapiro, used to work for USA today, points out, no matter how you frame it, Barack Obama is the candidate who has not won a major primary since he swept Wisconsin on February 22nd by uncharacteristically carrying hascral educated lower income voters.
Watching Obama stumble across the finish line as the presumptive nominee is not a formula to inspire the Democrats with confidence heading into the fall elections, precisely right.
And the superdelegates full well understand this.
Our buddies at Red State, Eric Erickson and his team, had an interesting post last night.
The top ten most populous states are California, Texas, New York, Florida, Illinois, Pennsylvania, Ohio, Michigan, Georgia, and North Carolina.
Those are the top ten most populous states.
According to Wikipedia, they represent 53.4% of the USA's population.
The Democrats currently have as their front runner, a man who could not win seven of them.
A man who couldn't win two of the three reliably blue states, a man who won none of the four that are generally considered to be battleground states this year.
You want the number?
Here are the seven that he could not win.
California, Florida, Michigan, New York, Ohio, Pennsylvania, Texas.
He couldn't win two of these three reliably blue states, California, New York, Illinois.
He only won Illinois.
And he has won none of the four states that are generally considered to be battleground states this year.
Florida, Michigan, Ohio, Pennsylvania.
So whatever you hear from the drive by, whatever you hear from the Democrat Party grand poopas like Howard Dean, who I will guarantee you is on a bigger hot seat today than even he may know.
No matter who you hear it from, there are worried this is because they know that whoever wins this is not going to win it by the virtue of votes are going to be selected by party hacks.
So that means that somebody's going to be mad.
Women are going to be mad or blacks are going to be mad, and you remember the numbers we started the program with.
All these voters, their candidate loses who will either vote for McCain or stay home.
It's an extraordinarily high number on both sides.
And this from the Cybercast News Service.
Senator Diane Feinstein, a superdelegate for the Democrat Party, told the Cybercast News Service on Tuesday That she won't rule out casting her vote for a nominee who doesn't win the popular vote.
That would be Hillary.
I wouldn't necessarily rule it out because you have two big states that aren't being counted, Florida and Michigan.
It's premature to say what I would or wouldn't do, but I don't rule out anything.
Every superdelegate can use his or her own judgment because they're not pledged to their state.
There is an ongoing struggle in the Democrat Party because Obama has won more primaries than Clinton and is ahead in the popular vote, 13.3 million to 12.6 million.
As reported by Real Clear Politics, many Democrats reportedly have urged Clinton to end the race, but yet she keeps winning.
Obama hasn't won anything of any consequence February 22nd.
Why should she quit?
Why should she quit?
Quick timeout.
Your phone calls are next, plus audio sound bites right after this.
Not everybody in the audience is happy about Operation Chaos.
This email from Eugene Quinn, a subscriber at Rush 24 7.
The subject line is, you are a butthole.
Only he didn't say but.
Thanks for being the egomaniac you have become.
Because of your stupid prank, Hillary is still in the race.
I have always been taught that when you can eliminate an enemy, you do it.
Not you.
You would rather boost your ego and hear yourself talk than eliminate her early and Republicans run against Obama, which would be a slam dunk for us.
She's going to end up winning this nomination.
Your big fat ego will be the reason.
I have been a listener and a 24-7 person for four years now, but all I hear is your ego.
I have stopped listening.
Because all you worry about is yourself and your ego.
You sure your last name isn't Clinton?
Thank you for being such a butthole.
Former Ditto head Eugene Quinn.
Not everybody happy apparently with uh with Operation Chaos.
In fact, I got a note from Paul Shanklin last night, a noted white comedian who does our impressions in our parody songs here, and he said, hey, I'm getting a little worried here.
You think maybe it's time to start telling Operation Chaos operatives to vote for Obama.
No, folks.
He's gonna win North Carolina anyway.
He's gonna win that big because that's where his voter base is.
He's gonna win Mrs. Clint can get close here.
Depends, but the polling right now, he's gonna win North Carolina.
He's gonna win a couple others.
Indiana, Indiana's a big one.
Uh you don't think it's guaranteed that he's gonna win North Carolina Snerdley Sturdley is very in insistent here that there's no guarantee he's gonna win North Carolina.
Look, here's the key.
Let me try to explain the thinking here in the in the in the operations manual for Operation Chaos.
And let's not forget what this is about.
This is not about securing the nomination for either one of these two.
Because I sink Usuck, commander-in-chief U.S. Operation Chaos, think McCain can beat either one of them, precisely because of Operation Chaos.
They have both been bloody.
They're both in the gutter.
The blooms off the rose of Obama.
Half the country hates Hillary.
We don't now want to reverse course Operation Chaos and secure the nomination for Obama and have this end.
We want this to go on.
We want the superdelegates to have to make this decision, not the voters of the Democrat Party.
This is about chaos.
This is why it's called Operation Chaos.
It's not called Operation Save Hillary.
It's not called Operation Nominate Obama.
It's called Operation Chaos.
The dream end.
I mean, if people say, what's your exit strategy?
The dream end of this is that this keeps up to the convention.
And we have a replay of Chicago 1968 with burning cars, protests, fires, literal riots, and all of that.
That's the objective here.
And there has been nothing that's happened on the battlefield for my uh my my uh my vision of this to change.
Just because Hillary, we we sh we we we we got what we wanted last night, and people want me to change course now.
We got what we wanted, okay.
Now time to support Obama.
No.
If Obama ends up win, if he if he runs a table with the rest of these primaries, it's over.
And the superdelegates are gonna have a much easier choice choosing him.
Because he'll end up we need him to limp across the finish line with his meager little lead in delegates.
We need this guy having not won a significant primary since February 22nd.
And I know what many of you are saying.
No, that's the guy we want to get the nomination rush.
We want they're both bloodied.
They're both weakened.
Mrs. Clinton, as I said, is already hated by half the country.
We're on the way here now with Obama with his help in having uh blue-collar people in this country, you know, the bitter clingers to God and their guns.
We're on the way here with his help to having him suspect it.
But it blooms off this Masonic or messianic mythological and arose that was uh was Barack Obama.
So no, no, no.
That's why I'm giving all Operation Chaos of volunteers in R and our day today.
Because our mission has been enthused with new energy.
Operation Chaos has been shown to have a true meaningful impact, and it can have so again, and it will.
Last night, there, I mean, they're watching Force in Indiana, and they're gonna be watching Forrest in North Carolina.
They're on the lookout now.
We may have to alter tactics.
For example, for example, WTAE TV Pittsburgh reported last night, Westmoreland County sees huge increase in Democrat voters.
This is this is near Pittsburgh.
5,400 more registered Democrats in Westmoreland County than there were in the November general election.
Wonder why.
And they quote some people as they came out of the polling place.
Democrat voter Angela Rulo, yeah, voted for Obama.
I think he's gonna make a difference.
I hope.
A typical Obama voter.
A genuine airhead.
And still living in the six-month-ago Obama or the three-month ago Obama.
I think he's gonna make a difference, I hope.
Sarah Hayden.
I chose Hillary.
I think she has more experience, more access to government.
Another airhead.
More access to government.
But typical Democrats.
But then there's this.
At the end of the story, the P.S. The Resistance.
Not everybody registered, so their favorite Democrat could win, though, by some estimates.
Hundreds of Republicans switch parties to keep the feud going between Clinton and Obama.
Republican Dave Roteagle is one of them.
Hope I'm pronouncing his name right.
It's R O T I G L G E L. I don't know how you Rotteagle wrote it.
We'll call it Rotteagle.
Is one of them.
While voting on Tuesday, Rotteagle wore a shirt that read Operation Chaos, which was inspired by conservative radio host Rush Limbaugh.
They quote the guy.
Dave Roteagle said, now that Hillary's running, I decided to register Democrat so I could vote for the woman.
He said he doesn't like Clinton.
We need to keep this Democrat family feud going as long as we can.
Hopefully it'll go to the convention floor and destroy the Democrat Party for five decades.
This is a man angling for a promotion in the Operation Chaos hierarchy.
Now in Indiana, we're going to have to change tactics.
You don't wear your Operation Chaos T-shirt or cap.
You go in there as a standard ordinary everyday Democrat voter.
You don't call attention to yourself.
You may, with permission of me, sink you suck, lie to the exit polsters when you come out.
That's always fun to do.
Just to mislead the drive-by media in their coverage that night, feel free to mislead the exit polsters.
But do not.
Do not wear your uniform in Indiana.
Do not wear your uniform in North Carolina.
You are all covert with those two primaries.
Here's another story.
This is from um this is, I guess, congressional quarterly.
Pennsylvania exit polls suggest white voter breakdown is key to outcome.
All that talk about all these little Democrat constituency groups.
Who's going to win the unions?
Who's going to win this?
Who's going to win the blacks?
Who's going to win the women?
Who's as we've been saying in the past couple days, it all comes down to the uh to the white vote.
And finally, Chris Matthews last night, this was on uh PMS NBC.
After it was all over, he said, you know, this contest is after Hillary had won by 10 points.
Matthews says, This contest is over.
Barack Obama's gonna win the most elected delegates.
It's over.
And then he went on to say of the media, trying to keep this game going, we've created the delusion that somehow this race is still open.
Uh Chris, what media are you talking about here?
When you say the media trying to keep this game going, we've created the delusion.
I think he meant to say illusion.
That somehow this race is still open.
What what what media is uh trying to keep this game going, Chris?
Well, what what media are you talking about here?
MSNBC is not trying to keep it going.
You guys in the tank for Obama.
See it ends in the tank for Obama.
Fox is undecided.
There's only one media trying to keep this going, Chris, and we're succeeding.
Me.
Operation Chaos.
Don't worry, folks.
Those those of you concerned about where this is headed, I'm going to explain it all in greater detail.
We come back.
I'm going to get your phone calls on the first segment, since uh you've been on hold for so long.
So we're lots lots still to do here.
Don't go anywhere.
