If Obama, an Afro American, wins the Presidential Elections in November, 2008 that will be testament to all that America affirms and stands for in the eyes of the world.

The Clinton group are not just negative they are desperate. They will hurt the party and somebody has to tell them to focus on issues than the guy. They are pathetic. They have lost focus.

Limbaugh is hoping for the impossible...that the democrats DON'T win the general election.

The polls show Obama can take McCain and Hillary can give him a tough fight.
Common sense makes it claer that continuing the Bush policies isn't goig to win anyone brownie points in November.

quote from Marne D March 4th, 2008 8:53 pm ET

This is Rush Limbaugh's backward little way of endorsing Hillary Clinton. Unlike Ann Coulter, he's not man enough to publicly announce his support.

That's what I said all along.....Ann Coulter is really really a man!! Don't let her fool you peeps.

RUSH, people are tired of you, you are talking to the wall, but keep talking, you FAT SLAB, by the way, watch your blood pressure, you may get heart attack or CVA. You and Lou Dobs will get heart attack some day, that I wish you sooooooooooo much. I can't wait see that happening !!!

And to add to my previous comment.... My satisfaction with this is that all these Republicans now have "Voted in the Democratic Primary" stamped permanently on their voter registration cards for the next two years.

I voted early – as a Democrat – in the Democratic primary in a heavily Republican precinct in Galveston County, TX. Most of the activity at the poll that morning was at the Democratic Party table as my Republican neighbors voted to swing the Democratic primary. They didn't need Rush to tell them they had the power to do that.

This time Rush was right.

Better Hillary than Obama.

Hillary 08

I can think of few public figures – and Rush certainly is a public figure – who hurt our nation as much as Rush Limbaugh. The fact that such a fool has a large audience speaks poorly of our nation. He has only divided people who otherwise share so much, and he disgusts me. If he did have an impact today it is a tragedy.

If you're dumb enough to listen to Rush, then you're also probably dumb enough to do what he says.

Well now. There's a lot of rhetoric here too. Let me remind everyone: Mr Change (Obama) and Mrs. Clinton promised you all sweeping changes in the last election – remember?? Of course they and the rest of the changers forgot about you once they were in control. The Democrats made huge promises for change and received control of both houses of Congress. They have done NOTHING!

If you believe the lies again – I guess we will all get what we deserve. If you care to look at what happened before – a Democratic Congress coupled with a Democrat in the White House put Social Security into the General Fund – that's why it's not self sufficient. Be careful!

Rush is a drug addict and adulterer. Also, a douchebag.

Hey – Isn't Rush generally "under the influence'?

People still listen to Rush Limbaugh?

well, those people must be going to obama because no way in hell would a republican vote for hillary even if it was a strategy

Hey, Jose from Florida! Stop coyping and pasting your comments on every blogl!
People vote their choice and if they follow someone, that is their choice and shows how moronic they are. People have the right to choose and if Barack is losing in any of the states, that is not Hillary's fault. People have the right to take a closer look at the candidates.

the fact of the matter is that republicans are voting for obama because they think mccain can beat him easier. last night on fox, they asked a group of texans if any of them were going to vote for a democrat, and almost all of them raised their hand.

It's a simple problem to solve. Just do what most republican primaries do and only let people registered with the party vote.

A drug abuser endorsing anybody should be seen with a grain of salt!

Its unbelievable!!!
What is up with the media bias.
They are so pro Obama its scary!!!!
Yes, you too CNN!!!!!!
It's insulting.

The big surprise is when Bush pulls a Putin on us... I'll bet Dubya is salivating over that one. "I shooda thunka dat".

ds, so we're mad because Bush won fair and square? I think not. From my reading of events, there were many overseas votes that would have been democratic that were never counted at all, and many precincts that were impossible to recount because they had run out of ballots, machines weren't working, and all kinds of problems. To say that the Democrats tried to steal the election is pretty ludicrous, even for a Republican. I suppose you're proud of the lying, manipulative, Constitution -ignoring group in the White House, too? Geez, I could throw up. Gore won the popular vote, and had there not been machine-tampering in Ohio, Kerry would have won in 2004 too. He chose not to hand over another decision to the Supreme Court and gracefully concede. Oh, that he had fought!
GO HILLARY! Time for some respect back in the White House.

To Jose from Florida:

Personally, I do not want Hillary to drop out.
Basically Half of the people voted for her- that gives OBAMA no mandate.
Even with all the negative media storm against her, vs all the rosy coverage for Obama, Hillary is basically tied with him.
I doubt he could say the same if the scenario were reversed.

Also, the super delegate system is designed to retain the nomination process within the party (i.e with the registered democrats). For them to go over to Obama means they are actually voting the wishes of the independents and republicans vs the wishes of the democrats. That is counter to their purpose. If they do that, there will be an outcry from those registered democrats that feel disenfranchised.

Well said Auntie SAM! My sentiments exactly. Clintons know how to beat republicans. Stay in the race until someone has 2025 delegates
Hillary because Real Democrats Don't Quit !!

Peter and all you who claim to be Republicans are full of it. No Republican that cares for the security and welfare of this country will vote for Obama in the general election. America needs a strong military experienced leader in the Whitehouse. Not a surrender candidate that will sacrifice my sons and daughters fighting in Iraq and Afghanistan. Semper Fi. McCain all the way.

Rush is is simply trying to be his destructive self, but really HE'S A BIG FAT IDIOT!

The only reason Lamebaugh would want Hillary Clinton to win is to give him another Clinton to whine about. A Clinton in White House is just what he needs to boost his ratings.

Is this what people consider a patriotic act? What does it mean when people purposely disrupt the election process? Just what kind of democracy are our young men and women fighting for in Iraq? Rush-land?

Who cares what a proven drug addict like Lush has to say?

Rush is an idiot and anyone who would listen to him is a bigger idiot. Though, the people that listen to him are probably dumb enough to do as he says.

with what looks like no good candidates from either party its a shame that Bush can't make some quick changes and run for another term. I think Rush would back him up for sure.

Tell Rush to go back to abusing drugs...all he's good for.

I don't know where Amy in Iowa gets her information,but Hillary Clinton has made it clear she would support whoever the Democratic nominee is whole heartedly.I believe Barack would do the same.We will be a united party regardless of who wins.Let's just keep the debate factual and adult in nature,shal we.

Actually here in Ohio if you say you are a republican you have to vote republican you don't have a choice and if you say Independent or Undecided you were only allowed to vote on local issues.

Obama isn't doing so well tonight because of HIM, not because of Hillary, the media, or McCain. It's reasonable that the media, and his opponents, are beginning to take a closer look at him; after all, he is "interviewing" for the most important job in America. It's not the media's or Hillary's fault Obama got involved with Rezko, and it's not their fault that his guy spoke to Canadian officials. Perhaps Obama supporters don't care about any of these issues; however, the rest of America has a right know. I have some news that might surprise everyone: Obama is a typical politician – no different than Hillary or McCain (they each say whatever they have to say to get elected)! The audacity of truth!

why would those fools in Ohio follow a DRUG ADDICT advice

I wouldn't expect anything else from a conservative drug addict with a strong moral core. If only we could just get Coulter and Limbaugh to get together and birth the antichrist already...

He could wine and dine her with some hate speech and she could bring the narcotics?

When Hillary draws distinctions between her and Obama...SHE IS TRYING TO WIN THE NOMINATION!! Obama supporters act as if she should watch everything she says so that the Republicans won't destroy Obama IF he becomes the nominee. THIS IS A PRESIDENTIAL PRIMARY!! Hillary is a FIGHTER!! That's the kind of President we need....not some smarmy pie-in-the-sky speech maker who cares ONLY about being President...as evidenced by his votes (or lack thereof) during the last year. SHAME ON OBAMA!

How extremely sad, are Americans so easily influenced? If you are so stupid to listen to his advice, than you really don't care about our country.

Obama'08

Of course Limbaugh wants Clinton to win! She can't can't beat McCain. Rush Limbaugh is a seriously twisted, mentally unstable, old-news loud-mouth! But, I guess the answer to this question is no. I can't imagine that people are still taking this man seriously. His days of influence are over.

If Obama and Hillary presented their resume's to you for a job; who would you hire?

HILLARY THE SMART CHOICE!!!!!!

Rush needs to grow up and act like an adult. This is not a game we are playing here. He has attributed one of our sacred rights to a joke, instead of something that we should be proud of.

Rush is definitely not a "gift from God" as he claims. He is nothing more than a pompas a__, druggie who likes to hear himself laugh before he says anything while constantly shuffling his papers. Someone on here said he is afraid of Hillary and there are 100% correct. The unfortunatel part is that many of his listeners will do whatever he says and would follow him right off the cliff. Wouldn't that be nice!!!!

If the dems want to lose in November select Hillary. Just imagine with the GOP and DEMS going negative, the young people will flee politics and McCain will win hands down. This is what Rush wants and Ohio delivers.

Thank you, Wolf Blitzer for your explanation of the discrepancy in numbers. You are always my favorite for clarity, fairness, and insight. However, now at 2%, Ohio shows less than 100,000 both party total, and Texas over 1,350,000 for 2%. So I am still not clear on how this could just reflect early (mail-in?) ballots difference. Could you please clear this up? Thank you.

Limbaugh = votefortheworst.com

kidding.. kidding...

Hillary's not the worst... but her kitchensink negative campaigning is so distastful... so sad to see that many voters fell for it.

How is this different to all the people claiming to be independents or Republicans who have been voting for Obama at every open primary?

Dear Senator Clinton:

Your campaign has been much too negative and it is hurting our party. Due to the electoral math of the Democratic system of proportional representation I am concerned that there may only be two "winning" scenarios for you. The first is that the super-delegates end up handing the nomination to you. This will cause a tremendous fracture among the party and you will thus enter the general election in a very weakened state. The second is that this fight so hobbles Senator Obama that he is unable to recover in the general election leaving you free to run again in 2012 for the democratic nomination having removed Senator Obama as a viable candidate. In both scenarios we, the party, lose. You are currently a 51% candidate, almost all of which comes from Democrats. Consider that this divisive fight may turn 10-20% of that number, like myself, away from you which will only make you a 41-46% candidate. You've lived through the experience of a presidency without an electoral mandate. It will be nightmarish. PLEASE DO THE RIGHT THING AND BOW OUT OF THIS RACE GRACEFULLY. It will only bring you goodwill and if Senator Obama does not win, you can run again in 2012 with the entire party strongly behind you. PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE consider this. I would not be writing this if your campaign was not working hard to increase Senator Obama's negatives. Primaries are not made for this. If you can not raise your positives then leave it to the Republicans to raise the negatives of other party members. PLEASE!

WELL SAID I COULD NOT HAVE PENNED BETTER WORDS LET HIL TAKE NOTICE

republicans are voting for clinton for probably 3 reasons all of which i will vote for her if my state matters come primary time (north carolina) i'm an independent btw 1. i think the clinton political machine will raise questions about obama that need to be raised before the general election 2.i do think clinton will be easier to beat in the general election because all her negative appeal and 3. if we are destined for a democratic president i'd perfer clinton atleast i know what i'm getting.

Joe Boyd: Finally, someone said it! - "Everyone in the general population must be qualified for a job before they are hired. Why as a nation would we not hold a presidential candidate to the same requirements?"

I know that college professors make more than graphic designers, yet as a graphic designer I don't apply for teaching positions at universities just because it's a step up... I am not qualified for the positions!

However, I could talk all day long about changes in the educational process, curriculum deficiencies, organizational flaws... by the standards of Obama supporters that would make me the clear frontrunner for any University Dean position in America!

What pisses me off more than anything is that this guy hasn't even served his full Senate term, but he now wants a better job. That would be fine if he had federal legislative, or gubernatorial, or even related policy or agency experience... but he doesn't. Sorry, State Senate don't count! He's an opportunist... and expects normal Americans to be dumb enough to not see that.

He may not be a bad person, but he simply is not qualified for the job.

I know many republicans who would vote for Hillary over McCain simply because she has both the experience and the vitality to rescue our Nation from the quagmire we are in.
Obama...well not so much. Seen as an airbag by many republicans who would vote for Hillary.
This actually makes sense. If Republicans had to choose, they would go with Centrist Hillary over extremist Obama.
Obama is too much of a stretch for republicans to embrace.
People may be less than truthful in polls just to acheive an end.

Change is coming.
Obama '08

lets be real, Hilary lost

Liberal , left wing voters have been a boost to Fox News ratings and helped elect Bush. Have we not learned anything from that? The republicans have gotten rich off defense contracts and thrieve on voter ignorance and love yelling un patriotic. The Dems now are putting the most liberal candidate for Fox news to destroy..Obama. Clinton returned the Dems to the center and WON... Fox and the Republicans HATE that and hope that the DEMS send another KERRY OR MCGOVERN..obama. I no longer watch NBC news and hope that MSNBC stays in the bottom . I do not plan to vote in the fall election. The liberal left has put out the white males, center Dems out to dry. It is the center that helped the Dems win back Congress. It was not liberal policies that helped Dems win. I will stay home and not vote before I will let NBC news and the liberal left destroy the Dem. party. It may be time to go independent or not vote at all.

NO offense but hilary your prolonging the ultimate decision.

ds, as accurate as you may be I'm still a critic of the electoral college system. The simple fact is that more Americans voted for Vice President Gore than Bush. For an office that represents ALL Americans, the popular vote should decide the winner, be it primary or general election. We could debate until the end of time what may or may not have gone on with a Gore administration, but when the counts were all done Al Gore won more votes nationwide than George Bush.

The electoral college and the ridiculous delegate systems the parties have for their primaries should be scrapped...one person, one vote, and the candidate with the most votes overall should be the winner. Simple as that.

Hey Liz, we sure HOPE IT CHANGES!!!!!

1 in 10 voters are Republican!? Maybe that explains why 9 in every 10 supporters of Obama experience a lapse in memory when asked to name a single accomplishment of Obama's that qualifies him for the Presidency.

There are a lot of Republicans voting for Obama because they like Obama's message. The People of the U.S. are sick and tired of the brazen lies by the current administration. And the People recognize a true leader when they see one. Grandpa McCain made his deal with the devil and represents the lies of the past.

Limbo only appeals to the racists and fools. Obama does not need the support of racists and fools. Limbo and his ilk couldn't even get Romney the corporate supremecist past Florida. And all that pro-Giuliani talk by the GOP went over like a pile of crap with the People.

I've listened to Rush for years and I've discovered that Rush is really running a hustle. 90%-95% percent of stuff he says is just spin that "makes sense' but the final 5-10% is the hustle where he is brainRushing listeners into adopting positions that the politicians want.

What happens in the end is we stop thinking for ourselves and he does the thinking for us. And we just becoming walking advertisements for the Republican politicians.

I'm a recovering dittohead.

After 30 days of not listening to Rush, I'm happy to say that I've recovered 12% of my normal brain function.

Too Cool! I think it's a riot watching Hillary and Barrack beat up on each other. Let's keep it going for a few more months – maybe even to the convention!!! The "drive by media should love it too. DRAMA!!!!!

Obama or your mama...you are a total loser. Get a life. You shouldn't be able to vote unless you're 21. That way you have all your "wet behind the ears" young people grow up. Unfortunately, that isn't the case. You people vote democrat because they don't know any better. Plus, the demoquacks...I mean crats need their vote or they won't stand a chance.

Guess what?
This Democrat will vote for McCain over Obama any day.
Why? I do not care for how the DNC ran this electoral process and how the media swift boated Hillary.
People who wanted to vote but couldn't fit the caucus system into their lifestyle were disenfranchised.
The DNC will disregard the voices of the voters in TWO states. What kind of democratic process is that?
I will not vote for who the media, Oprah, republicans and the newbies pressure me to vote for. I will swing the other way for the first time EVER- and I have voted in 9 elections.
I will do that to protest the 3rd world tactics of the democratic party.

Rush is an idiot , plain and simple.

I used to listen to Rush, and though he makes good points ... in this case I have to disagree with him.

Obama 08!!

Democrats can dish it, dust can't take their own medicine. Go Rush Go Huck. GB USA

This just shows how pathetic the republicans really are lol.

What happens to the African American voters who abandoned Hillary if she wins?

CNN, I noticed you did a great job of keeping this link up beyond its relevance. Do you think perhaps Limbaugh's influence was strengthened by your promoting of it? When does he start working at CNN?

Lortab Limbaugh has a group of followers that would jump off of the cliff just like lemmings if he asked them to do such.

Its nice when we can use the loop holes normally reserved for dems. Atleast with Hillary she has a messege, a plan, blue print where obama only has a flute to blow. Good Job to rush, shawn, the dr. lavin!!

As a lifelong Dem i've got to say that I do not care for open primaries. Only the registered voters for the party should have voting rights in the primary for that party. Why should the nominee be picked by independents and republicans.
What is even worse is that some states are open while others are closed?
Where is the fairness?
I hope the DNC takes appropiate measures to address this crazy scenario. I think the Democratic party is underestimating the dismay of the democratic base at seeing the election stolen by the independents and republicans.

A new low for someone who deems himself to be such a great radio personality. Rush has long complained about different things happening where people try to influence the elections through unscrupulous measures. And now this??? What a hypocrite!

I personally do not like Mc Cain, this aside, Hillary made a true statement in her reference to Obama. Everyone in the general population must be qualified for a job before they are hired. Why as a nation would we not hold a presidential candidate to the same requirements. Its as easy as looking at his employment history and work record. Wake up America vote on the facts!

OPEN LETTER TO SENATOR OBAMA

Dear Senator Obama:

Your campaign has been much too negative and it is hurting our party. Due to the electoral math of the Democratic system of proportional representation I am concerned that there may only be two "winning" scenarios for you. The first is that the super-delegates end up handing the nomination to you.

I would not be writing this if your campaign was not working hard to increase Senator Clinton's negatives. Primaries are not made for this. If you can not raise your positives then leave it to the Republicans to raise the negatives of other party members. PLEASE!

ALSO STOP SAYING "HOPE". "CHANGE", "HOPE FOR CHANGE", "CHANGE FOR HOPE" AND ALL OTHER COMBINATIONS OF HOPE AND CHANGE. it really makes me puke by now.

The Rush Factor will be more destructive to the Democrats if,with McCain finishing up tonight, the Demcrats continue head-butting. In that case, where Republicans can vote, they'd go for Rush's Democratic candidate.

The hope is, of course, Obama pulls out a serious upset tonight on Hillary in both Ohio and TX. Then, it'd be all over for her, nor will she be able to go against the advice of the party leaders.

The question is: Will Obama deliver the bunch tonight on Hillary? If he doesn't, I have no doubt, with Hillary having endorced Mr. McCain over Mr. Obama just recently in her comparison of the three of them, as someone else had also rightfully noted in here, Mr. McCain will be the next U.S President since Mr. Obama will not be able to join a Hillary lead ticket, since she had endorced Mr. McCain over Mr. Obama already.

Honor to Senator McCain. I just hope, his running mate will be Mr. Romney. A National Security/Economy ticket will be impossible for a Hillary/with ANYONE to defeat.

"Obama or your mama"

learn to spell

Rush is scared to death of Hillary as president. If she wins, she'll go after him and Clear Channel.

I'm a recovering dittohead.

After 30 days of not listening to Rush, I'm happy to say that I've recoverd 12% of my normal brain function.

Rush Limbaugh is a joke, Why should anyone pay attention to him?

I AM SURE A LOT OF REPUBLICANS DID VOTE FOR HILLARY, THE FORMER REPUBLICAN.

Rush so tres clever! reverse psychology!

Keep silly Hilly in the race

to keep our minds off real severe issues facing our country..

somebody needs to KEEP SPENDING

it may as well BE HER AND ALL HER SUPPORTERS!

SEND $$ LOTS of $$$ and spend spend spend

for 2 or 3 more months at least..

somebody's gotta spend

while the rest of us go broke with inflation and no health care

Let's face it. Limbaugh is a bore.

JOSE FROM FLORIDA:

TRY SOME DECAF!!!!

What would you expect from the most biggoted person in the world. Rush Limbaugh is a drug addict gay homophobic.

Maybe Republicans such as myself DO NOT WANT MCCAIN!

No matter which Democrat wins the nomination, I will vote democrat. I'm unhappy with Bush, therefore I could not vote for McCain. I am an Obama supporter. I think he would make a great president. I'm tired of the dirty politics of "experienced" candidates. We need change in this country. So many young people feel disillusioned with are government and he changes that. I do not think he is "all talk". I am also struggling financially. I cannot understand how a poor person can back a republican. Like abortion and gay rights are the main problems in the US? Come on people!! We need help and Obama will help us! Americans need to wake up and see that Clinton and McCain are part of the negative politicians that Americans complain about everyday. WE NEED CHANGE!!!!

THAT IS BECAUSE THE REPUBLICANS WANT THE NOMINEE TO BE OBAMA SO THEY CAN SWIFT BOAT HIM AND WIN!!!!!!!!!!

THEY CANNOT DO THIS TO SENATOR CLINTON!!!!!!!

GO HILLARY YOU ARE HONEST AND HAVE MY VOTE!!!!!!!!!!!

Wow, this is making the Republicans look very childish.

Rush is a load
But he definitely wants Hillary because McCain can beat Hillary.
He KNOWS McCain would get OBAMINATED!
He's not as stupid as you'd think.
DrFill

Joman,

By the way, what happened when the UP, Gannet, and the Miami Herald did a recount in Florida? Do you remember, or have you conveniently washed that bit of reality from your memory?

For all of you morons still crying about the 2000 election, Gore lost by every standard after both the Miami Herald and Gannet supervised a recount of all ballots.

The question I have is this: How in the hell was it that Gore managed to magically pick up 500 votes during a PARTIAL RECOUNT (when DEMOCRATS were supervising) in Miami/Dade county? (This was part of the recount that was put to a stop by the Supreme Court). The media-supervised recount found that Gore picked up less than 50 votes after completing a recount of the entire county.

I've listened to lying imbeciles and morons cry about that election for 8 years. Bush won the first count, he won the second count, and he won the media-conducted recount of the ENTIRE STATE. The only way that Gore could have possibly won a recount was if the Supreme Court had allowed Democrats to selectively recount votes in Democrat-heavy counties.

Simply put, Democrats tried to steal the election. They're still mad that law and order ultimately won out.

(Note the "S", to distinguish myself from the other "Robert)

Robert, regardless of which candidate you (or I) support, I'd think any reasonable person could see that the superdelegate system is very un-Democratic. An election is supposed to be decided by the VOTERS...one person, one vote. That in itself argues against superdelegates...they get two votes (one in their own precinct, and one that counts as much as an entire district). The superdelegates were created by the Democratic Party years ago to give the party elite a large chunk of the deciding power. You refer to the "popular stupidity"...if you truly believe us average, everyday Americans are too stupid to choose our leaders, then you must not put much faith in our nation and our Constitution. A representative government, a republic like ours is designed precisely to give us a say in selecting our leaders...we fought for that right in 1776 and many times since to keep that right. How would YOU frame our system of government? Would you only have the right to vote go to those who think like you and agree with you?

Does everyone hate Hillary so much? Still, if Hillary doesnt win the democratic nomination, i would rather vote for McCain, instead of Obama

This isn't any different then when moveon.org wanted democrats in Michigan to vote for Romney.

Republicans that truly like Obama, voted for Obama. Republicans who voted for Hillary only voted for her because she's easier for McCain to beat. Sorry but true. GO BARACK OBAMA!!!

I am curious to know how CNN sees Ohio as a "competitive race" when its own numbers cite Clinton 60%, Obama 38%. I am not for or against one side or the other, but I am beginning to see some credence to your critics' statements that you are the "Anti-FOX," but just as biased... prO-bama, if you will.

Oh well, I will cut it short there... out of over a dozen comments to this blog in the past two months, not one has ever been published... as opposed to MSNBC and FOX websites, where I am going on 100% of my comments being approved with both.

I'm a moderate Republican. I voted on the Democratic ballot today in Ohio, but not because of Limbaugh- I didn't even know he made these comments.

I'm a Republican in Ohio, and I never heard about Rush's call to vote for Hillary, but I thought of it myself and did it. It'll string out the Democratic nomination and hopefully lead to a Republican victory in November, and I can't complain about that. To Rush I say "Great minds think alike."

Clinton the Beat candidate. PLEEEASE give me a break! I saw through her when she was just Senator Clinton! Republicans like her because she's the most Republican candidate! Taking a few trips to Iraq does not give you foreign policy experience!
I know there a bunch of "Player Hating" folks out there!
" Kenedy more of an insider than McCain..! Give me a break!
And who is funding Hillary's campaign!
The same folks who answer to Karl Rove!!!

Rush did not influence results any more than CNN's Wolfe Blitzer influences results with his bias approach to coverage.

During the 2006 Congressional election, he could wait to call a race for a democrat, even if only 1% of the vote was in. He was down right giddy about it.

And tonight, as he is watching the democratic returns, he so wants Hillary to win; so much that when he read aloud Obama's lead in Texas, he stated, "But don't let those numbers fool you...there is only 1% of the vote in."

Funny what 1% means to Wolfe based on his on agenda.

the only thing rush could influence is a prescription pad.

To Robert (the republican) No one could do a worse job than George Bush and the cronies he brought in with him! I find it weird that you think you have something to say to Democrats about who to support.

I still support Romney versus anyone that remains as America is a business and Mitt has the best business qualifications. If the next president is unable to turn this economy around within 9 mos, that person is a wrongdoer like Bush. The economy should be measured where its at now and compare it to january 20th next year versus the nominee taking credit for an economy turning around in their first day of office. I dislike the remaining candidates! I think I will write Medevev in!

The real question is, are those 10% Republicans like me and actually voted for and support Obama. Because you know if they voted for Clinton it was simply to mess with the results. The Republicans want Hillary to run, she will energize their base. McCain just cannot compete with Obama. It's time for a message of hope and hard work for the American people and Obama brings that message.

First Rush limbaugh is a fat slob, fear mongering right wing republican and is stubborn as steel. He thinks he influences the whole GOP and he is harshly wrong. Also with hilary clinton she went from throwing dirt to throwing garbage. Playing the fear card is a gop tactic and she is using "Carl Rover Tactics"- open your eyes

This is Rush Limbaugh's backward little way of endorsing Hillary Clinton. Unlike Ann Coulter, he's not man enough to publicly announce his support.

Are there really over 125,000,000 voters in Texas? You show a total of over 1,250,000 for both parties with only 1% reporting. Is this possible? How do you account for this strange result?

Rush speaks the truth. The loony left is too far gone to recognize that fact.

Rush is sick. Clinton is sick. I am going to Canada if she wins. They have universal health care which both Clintons trying couldn't get us... Why would I stay here and suffer through her.

"I'm from SC and most all my Republican friends are dittoheads. I still act polite to them as I'm a small minority."

LOL!!!!!! Now that's FU-NNY! LOL!!!

Hillary is power hungry she will do anything timing up with Mcain and Bush they are all freinds remember Bill does fund raising with old Bush whats new all they want is to keep this amoung themselves.

Hmmm.... Unless you really like someone you should not vote for them!!!! If you were a hard core Republican (which I am NOT), you would find Hill and Barack about the same. Limbaugh just wants to see chaos at the Denver convention.

What's the matter Rush, can't McCain win on his own merits???

if he's not fired for being the world's biggest hypocrite, then the people should demand he be fired for meddling in OUR democracy.

How can CNN be reporting that only 1% of the Texas vote is in if over 700,000 votes have been counted? This means that 70 million persons will vote.

OPEN LETTER TO SENATOR CLINTON

Dear Senator Clinton:

Your campaign has been much too negative and it is hurting our party. Due to the electoral math of the Democratic system of proportional representation I am concerned that there may only be two "winning" scenarios for you. The first is that the super-delegates end up handing the nomination to you. This will cause a tremendous fracture among the party and you will thus enter the general election in a very weakened state. The second is that this fight so hobbles Senator Obama that he is unable to recover in the general election leaving you free to run again in 2012 for the democratic nomination having removed Senator Obama as a viable candidate. In both scenarios we, the party, lose. You are currently a 51% candidate, almost all of which comes from Democrats. Consider that this divisive fight may turn 10-20% of that number, like myself, away from you which will only make you a 41-46% candidate. You've lived through the experience of a presidency without an electoral mandate. It will be nightmarish. PLEASE DO THE RIGHT THING AND BOW OUT OF THIS RACE GRACEFULLY. It will only bring you goodwill and if Senator Obama does not win, you can run again in 2012 with the entire party strongly behind you. PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE consider this. I would not be writing this if your campaign was not working hard to increase Senator Obama's negatives. Primaries are not made for this. If you can not raise your positives then leave it to the Republicans to raise the negatives of other party members. PLEASE!

sad- people have no values, morals, conviction.

I'm witing in the only conservative candidate in Nov.

Dr. Ronald Earnest Paul

Bomb out

Follow Obama to the Promised Land
With Leskos and Farrakhans
And sneaky Nafta deals with Canadians!
Bomb out Obama!

Let's hope so – Go Hillary!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I am one of many Democrats I know that realize Hillary is the candidate for those who are thinking rationally and not emotionally. None of us would ever cast a vote for Obama and would likely cross party lines if he should get the nomination.

You can't stop this, unless you force people to pick a party for life.

Complain all you want, but in the end, none of the current candidates for either party are going to be good for this country.

Get ready for a nice and deep downward spiral.

I,for one, will be moving with my family to the socialists.

Good luck to you all, comrades.

The solution to the democrat delegate debate is simple. You just need to reduce proportionately the number of delegates needed to secure the nomination by the number of delegates not counted in Michigan or Florida . i.e.shorten the finish line

SHAME ON YOU HILLARY FOR THE STUPID COMMENT YOU MADE ABOUT SHE AND MCCAIN ARE READY FOR THE WHITE HOUSE BUT NOT BARACK OBAMA IS THIS WHAT DEMOCRATS DO TO OTHER DEMOCRATS I MIGHT HAVE TO CHANGE TO REPUBLICAN IF YOU BECOME THE PRESIDENTAL CANDIATE

Only Democrats can vote in the Democratic primary in Ohio. So anyone who says they are a Republican or Independent instantly became a Democrat when they requested a Democratic Primary ballot. And they will remain an official registered Democrat until at least the next election. So, the rules are rigged as a party recruitment device.

I'm a registered Republican and I would vote for Clinton – not because Rush Limbaugh said to, but because I believe Clinton is the best candidate for the entire nation. Personally, I think Rush Limbaugh is an idiot! If Clinton drops out or Obama wins the Democratic nomination, I truly cannot in good conscience vote for any of the remaining candidates It would be such ashame for the country. Obama's all about speeches. He's got the Democrats brain-washed by repeating half-truths over and over again until they believe it is the truth. Who said Republicans will not vote for Clinton but will vote for Obama. As I've said, I will vote for Clinton, and so will all my Republican friends – how come we never got polled. Talk about not favoring special interest groups – look who's funding his campaign. The Obama-mama Oprah wants to control another Stedman in the Oval Office. Remember Oprah popularized James Frey based on his book and speeches, only to find out later that he was a FAKE. And talk about not being a Washington insider! Is there anyone more insider than Ted Kennedy supporting the Obama campaign!

I hope there are still Democratic Superdelegates who are not so easily brain-washed by the Obama campaign. For those who criticize the Superdelegate system, it's the last-stance against popular stupidity. That's the same reason we have two Houses of Congress – the Senate and the House of Representatives.

Todays polls showed Hillary as the candidate most able to repair the economy. It's a no brainer to vote for her. If the economy is bad, everything is bad. Let Hillary heal the economy. Obama had already said he would raise taxes and cut SSI, like that will help the economy! His health care also leaves out 15 million, by that there will be no national health care. I'm sure insurance companys want Obama in,BAD.

I am a republican and have always voted republican. I do not like our nominee this year, so if Obama is on the ticket in November, he will get my vote. If the dems choose Hillary, then I will vote for the less of two evils, which would be McCain.

Also, about this caotic political process, seems to me that simply keeping track of the popular vote would be the fairest way to nominate your leader, in the primary as well as the general election

After the vote rigging and Supreme Court disaster in Florida in 2000 and the vote rigging in Ohio in 2004 – is it possible that portions of our electorate are still so clue-free that they would actually act on Rush Windbag's vote rigging scheme? God help us if its true – we don't deserve our democracy.

I guess if they locked Rush up forever without the rights of habeas corpus I might change my mind about the criminality of Bush suspending it. Not really – but you get my point.

Hey, all's fair in love and war...

Think of any game show... when it gets to the top 3, number 2 and number 3 always gang up together to try to kick number 1 out.

Guess who number 1 is...

If Rush thinks McCain will have an easier time beating Hillary than Obama, he's shooting himself in the foot. I'm sure the Republicans are ready to slice, dice and smear Obama all over the floor. They've already done everything they can to her...she can fight back. Obama won't know what hit him. Does anyone really believe Karl Rove went to Texas to retire? That's a laugh.

I too am a republican. I think it is despicable of Mr. Limbaugh to sink to this low level of tactics. Trying to skew results like that is dirty and incredibly unprofessional. That is exactly the kind of trickery and chicanery that Obama is talking about when he says "politics as usual." That's why I'm voting for him and not Hillary or McCain. That kind of behavior disgusts me, and the fact that a nationally played radio show host would endorse that kind of bahavior and actually encourage it is even sicker.

"This is a disgrace and ridiculous. The Dems need to clean up their primary process and stop this lunacy. Unfortunately too late for this year…"

Have to agee basically – IMHO all the states should have closed primaries and be winner take all.

This race would have be over on Super Tuesday.

It bothers me that people would go to such measures in order to have their candidate win. I could never be a politician or a surgeon. Somebody's got to do it, and for that I am grateful.

I cannot vote for McCain although I am a Republican.
I intend to vote Democrat Regardless who.
And perhaps Rush really wants Hillary for president???

Did I hear somesone say they couldn't believe people voting because Rush Limbaugh told them to? Dream on. I'm from SC and most all my Republican friends are dittoheads. I still act polite to them as I'm a small minority.

Actually it is hard to say whom the "republicans" voted for – it has been reported that they went both for Obama and Clinton. This should reinforce that in "primary" campaigns, ONLYthose people actually registered in each party should be able to vote in their own part primary election. ie they should not be allowed to "cross over". This would certainly make it a cleaner election.

This is a disgrace and ridiculous. The Dems need to clean up their primary process and stop this lunacy. Unfortunately too late for this year...

I am a Republican and will always be a Republican, however, come Novemver, I hope Obama is on that ticket..and I will vote for OBAMA.
If Hilary is on that ticket, McCain will get my vote...and I think that is how Repulicans feel right now.

I am a conservative, and I usually vote Republican. I also regularly listen to Rush Limbaugh, and I usually agree with him.

But why in the name of all that's holy would you cast a vote simply because a radio talk show host told you to?

Are these people actually voting for someone simply because Rush instructed them to do so? I can't believe it. I have more faith in the autonomy of the average human's opinions.

Thanks to Rush Limbaugh God bless him

Hillary has endorsed McCain instead of Obama. That shows the former "Goldwater Girl" is trying to destroy the democratic party from the inside. The voters need to wake up and realize what Hillary is doing. She can never win a general election.
