Limbaugh now wants Obama to be the Democratic nominee.

(CNN) – He has publicly urged Republicans to vote for Hillary Clinton to keep the divisive Democratic nomination fight alive, but talk radio host Rush Limbaugh said Wednesday it's Barack Obama who he really wants to be the party's nominee.

"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 supereldegates 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, working class people," Limbaugh also said. "He can get effete snobs, he can get wealthy academics, he can get the young, and he can get the black vote, but Democrats do not win with that."

For months, Limbaugh has urged his listeners in states with open primaries to cross party lines and support Clinton in an effort he has dubbed "Operation Chaos." The conservative talk show host has said the Republican Party will benefit from a protracted Democratic race that grows more bruising by the week.

Shut up Rush!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Blowhard.

Venus   May 7th, 2008 4:13 pm ET

Who knows what to believe!

Go Obama! We don't need Rush's help!

JRC   May 7th, 2008 4:13 pm ET

Is he trying reverse psychology?? His ploy to get Hillary in there didn't work so now he's trying to say Obama is the weakest person. Get a grip, Rush, those drugs must have taken your last living brain cell.

Rush mus be back on the MEDS again.!!!!!!!!!

Total meltdown will be in NOV 08

Walter   May 7th, 2008 4:14 pm ET

It's really not nice to publicize the problems of the mentally ill. CNN should be ashamed.

Capt. Smash, Salt Lake City, Utah   May 7th, 2008 4:14 pm ET

Oh No! He is taking pills again someone need to call the police and have him put in jail.

Chut Pata   May 7th, 2008 4:14 pm ET

tch tch Billary. Rush used you to damage the Democratic Party and now he is just discarding you like a used toilet paper. My sympathy with you.

melancholymonday   May 7th, 2008 4:14 pm ET

Limbaugh doesn't like Obama. To me, this is comforting.

melikeyhill   May 7th, 2008 4:14 pm ET

limbaugh is a neurotic moron, and is working closely with the clintons! this is just another clinton-mccain-republican, strategy, limbaugh is a loser and his tactics will fail!!!

MM   May 7th, 2008 4:14 pm ET

Anybody who listens to this man is a complete idiot.

Jay - democrat from Chicago, IL   May 7th, 2008 4:14 pm ET

I hope Feinstein realizes that having a conversation with a crazy lady like clinton won't do anything. Billary is here to stay and they are only looking out for themselves. I can't believe the good americans who keeps supporting her in Indiana, NC, West Virginia, and Kentucky don't see how damaging of a person Hillary is. Her message is simple, "win at all costs".

It is mind boggling to me that fellow democrats won't just stand up and say "enough is enough". I will vote for Obama for the good of our party and the good of our country so that Mccain is not able to carry out a 3rd bush term.

Everyone knows it. It is ridiculous for clinton to stay in the race.

Please super delegates, I beg of you. End this nomination fight now.

The Dude   May 7th, 2008 4:15 pm ET

He's only saying that because a lot of Republicans already have been voting for Obama.

Common Sense '08!

Steve in DC   May 7th, 2008 4:15 pm ET

Rush…take some more pills and go to sleep.

USAF Sr. Airman   May 7th, 2008 4:15 pm ET

What a fool. This guy is all over the place. What kind of uneducated mindless citizens listen to this guy seriously? Typical of a man with no real accomplishments or purpose in life to try to get attention any way he can.

Debbie   May 7th, 2008 4:15 pm ET

What a sad, sad individual this pathetic drug addict is!
There are people on this planet starving, there are people dying in wars, we have global warming etc etc.
But Mr. Limbaugh spends his time spewing lies and hatred - so what's the difference between him and Rev. Wright - nothing really, except his white!
What's even sadder is that Limbaugh actually has loyal listeners.
No wonder the world has lost respect for the USA.
The best part about this whole charade is that he fired up the African American voters - and it worked - they voted in droves!
So thanks Mr. Limbaugh - it achieved the exact opposite of your "cunning" plan ha ha ha!

Tjaye   May 7th, 2008 4:15 pm ET

This man is an idiot.

Obama O-8!

Chuck, Oregonians for Obama   May 7th, 2008 4:15 pm ET

Rush needs to take a break, grab a bottle of mouth wash, clean up a bit and maybe, just maybe he will stop spewing so much crap. (crap being a politically correct way of saying the other word).

Obama 08   May 7th, 2008 4:15 pm ET

He knows McCain can't win without all his dirty tricks.

nwhite   May 7th, 2008 4:16 pm ET

hah! what a retard.

Living in the USA   May 7th, 2008 4:16 pm ET

Rush back away from the pills. Put the bottle down thank you. Wouldn't it be funny if Obama say I don't want his support the same way that he did Wright.

Boye   May 7th, 2008 4:16 pm ET

LOL, Rush think super-delegates are as ignorant as he is. He is trying to make them hand the nomination to Hillary so that the Democratic party will be in peril. Even a 4year old can see through the mist of lies.

John J.   May 7th, 2008 4:16 pm ET

So he doesn't look wrong, he changed his bet to the leader after supporting the "underdog" didn't look like it was working out for him… hm.

60 old white lady, Mo   May 7th, 2008 4:16 pm ET

Limbaugh is just an Idiot… And how american people can listen to him … ?

Adam from NY   May 7th, 2008 4:16 pm ET

So, it worked so well in Indiana that it's time for some reverse psychology?

oliver   May 7th, 2008 4:16 pm ET

Rush really knows how to manipulate the media.

TruthSeeker   May 7th, 2008 4:16 pm ET

Why does CNN publish such drivel?

Bayou Joe   May 7th, 2008 4:16 pm ET

Hey Rush, Congratulations, But isn't it to early to tell the Democrats that Obama was the choice among republicans in the first place.
Totally agree, Clinton would be harder to beat. Better a liar in Clinton than a closet Muslim in Obama.

Goodbye, Clinton hello President McCain.

Nausea   May 7th, 2008 4:16 pm ET

Here's the question that Democrats must answer: Is the party's commitment to Barack Obama more important than this election? If his hold on them is strong enough, they'll give him the nomination and throw the election. If not, they'll send him back to the bench to wait for next time, and give the nomination to the only Democrat in the race with the chance to be president — and the first woman president in U.S. history, at that.

Dexter   May 7th, 2008 4:17 pm ET

Why does anyone care what this fat junkie says?

Might as well ask what Paris Hilton thinks and post it, CNN.

Richard   May 7th, 2008 4:18 pm ET

Limbaugh's game is becoming a tad too obvious. Now it's just funny. But at least he's intertaining.

Christine V from Dallas, TX   May 7th, 2008 4:18 pm ET

This is so true. Obama supporters, spoilled brats will find out hard it will be November when Hillary's supporters cross party lines….

Jane, College Park, Maryland   May 7th, 2008 4:18 pm ET

The first strategy did not work. Now go to the backup plan. He really does want Hillary to win.

Is he not the same guy who had drug addiction problems or am i missing something?

Giovani   May 7th, 2008 4:18 pm ET

Riiiight. Now that Obama is clearly going to be the nominee, you'll say you now want him.

Nice try buddy.

Canadian Perspective   May 7th, 2008 4:18 pm ET

This is not NEWS CNN!!! Who cares what Rush Thinks!!! Focus on the real issues.
The whole world is paying close attention to this race.

Victor, NJ   May 7th, 2008 4:18 pm ET

This guy is an egomaniac fool. Why waste time with this idiot.

Vig   May 7th, 2008 4:18 pm ET

Well, that should tell you something. The Republicans are going to have a field day with Obama and in Novemeber the headlines will be Obama is toast.

Madelin Snow   May 7th, 2008 4:19 pm ET

Limbaugh… obvious much??

dave   May 7th, 2008 4:19 pm ET

LOL. A stuffed animal can beat the Republicans.

Brian G   May 7th, 2008 4:19 pm ET

Yawn.

Claire, Texas   May 7th, 2008 4:19 pm ET

Rush, no one cares!

You are trying to use reverse psychology to make the supers go for Clinton whom McCain would totally crush.

CP   May 7th, 2008 4:19 pm ET

Rush is just saying this because his plan didn't work. I'm so dizzy with all the spin that has been going on between him and Clinton.

Hillary Tested, Blue Collar Approved   May 7th, 2008 4:19 pm ET

He loves to hear himself talk.

How dumb does he think people are?   May 7th, 2008 4:19 pm ET

He's clearly saying this hoping people will pause and instead support Clinton, whom he truly wants to be the nominee. While that may work on the general public, I think (hope??) superdelegates are a little smarter

LA Ben   May 7th, 2008 4:19 pm ET

Who cares what this slob has to say. The guy's a drug addict and a hypocrite.

Independent   May 7th, 2008 4:19 pm ET

Do you think we're so stupid as to not see reverse psychology when it's staring us in the face?

I'm sure the superdelegates are now all going to put their support behind Hillary!

What a maroon.

Taylor   May 7th, 2008 4:19 pm ET

What a weak attempt at reverse psychology…

Rick   May 7th, 2008 4:19 pm ET

Venus   May 7th, 2008 4:20 pm ET

Obama got 4 more SD today!

Go Obama!

Zoey   May 7th, 2008 4:20 pm ET

Democrats can't win with the young, suburban, and black voters??? WHAT?? — Come on Rush, leave those meds alone. Most of the delegates are in the most populated communities. Take your spin elsewhere. LEAVE THE DRUGS ALONE !

CB2   May 7th, 2008 4:20 pm ET

Yeah, right!!!!!

Lanae   May 7th, 2008 4:20 pm ET

This is why people are leaving the republicans in droves because of idiots like limbaugh, hannity and Oreilly. Instead of them trying to work to help bring the country together they continue to divide with hate. People are finally waking up to them and hopefully will continue to rally behind obama for change. And when he becomes president get a strick FEC limit this kind of garbage on radio

dbacchus   May 7th, 2008 4:20 pm ET

Not even funny. Now, when the race is over and Obama won, this drug-addicted maniac "changes his mind". Who the hell cares?!

Jeff   May 7th, 2008 4:20 pm ET

I was an "Operation Chaos" operative. I crossed party lines and voted for Hillary just to keep the democrats at each others throats.

Linda Sandy Springs GA   May 7th, 2008 4:20 pm ET

I'am not one to believe in conspiracy theories but Barack Obama would have one Indiana last night if 7% of Republician hadn't voted for Clinton as part of "Operaton Chaos"

Mr Alexerod had the county he wanted to win in … Obama knew what he was doing in Indiana.

CJ   May 7th, 2008 4:20 pm ET

If the majority of the people in this country vote for McCain no matter who he is running against, the problems are much worse than have been previously stated. At that point, I will believe the majority of people in this country have lost their minds!

Russ, Albuquerque   May 7th, 2008 4:20 pm ET

And just WHY is anything this fella has to say newsworthy for CNN? We would be better off sticking to relevent news than having the media and entertainment types invent issues.

Limbaugh is as much a racist and hate monger as Rev Wright, the right wing evangelicals, and mudslinging pundits like Ann Coulter, Shawn Hannity, etc. and just as irrelevent.

Hopefully, the young voters that Obama has brought into the election process are smarter than their bi-party-polarized parents and will throw all the bums out Republican and Democrat.

Tosha-Atlanta, GA   May 7th, 2008 4:20 pm ET

Rush Limbaugh should be in jail for popping pills and you mean to tell me he still has listners. CNN please stop entertaining this clown.

Ty   May 7th, 2008 4:20 pm ET

We are much smarter than that RUSH…This is just another ploy to put fear in pple closing the deal for BO. We all know this thing is done!!

Marc in DeKalb, IL   May 7th, 2008 4:20 pm ET

This sounds like "Operation Chaos 2″ …

Change the target, confuse the Democrats who are already eating themselves alive, and confuse that middle-ground of voters who is undecided about who to go with in the general election…

Hey, if Rush can get Clinton to win even 1 or 2% of the vote that she couldn't have gotten otherwise, that's still pretty substantial in a race that the media drills into the average voters' mind as "close" …

Tejano   May 7th, 2008 4:20 pm ET

Yep. time to wrap up the red carpet for Hillary. "Mission Accomplished".
Super delegates do your job and end the pain for Hillary.

Obama is toast. Thank you Hillary.

Can't wait for the main event. Obama cannot win. Did you hear that.

Gena   May 7th, 2008 4:21 pm ET

Who, in their right mind, listens to this hypocrit anyway? I couldn't care less what this idot thinks - about any candidate or any issue.

Zack Mac   May 7th, 2008 4:21 pm ET

This is just a a game to stretch the fight even longer.. it has no bases. Why did not hey say two days ago? Think !!!

Caroline   May 7th, 2008 4:21 pm ET

Limbaugh is not worth a comment. Why would you even put this on a blog?

Status QuO.   May 7th, 2008 4:21 pm ET

I do not like Obama and I've recently left the Democratic party. HOWEVER, I will not stand by and listen to his crap. His is the kind of thinking that we need to defeat in November. Enough of this Clinton-Obama madness, time to put these fools to rest.

georgia   May 7th, 2008 4:21 pm ET

Unfortunately many have made this clown rich in spite of his low opinion of his audience. He obviously feels they are not intelligent enough to think for themselves & need his grade school games to puppet them,silly games that suggest his drug addiction is again full blown .

Makeshift   May 7th, 2008 4:21 pm ET

Yeah, because Rush Limbaugh knows what hes talking about. This is the same guy who though Mitt Romney was a better candidate than John McCain for the Republicans. He clearly wasnt, and Obama is clearly better than Hillary.

Wes   May 7th, 2008 4:21 pm ET

Think about it would Democratic SuperDelegates listen to Rush… of coursenot he wants them to do the opposite!!

We already know who the stronger of the 2 is….. The one who is winning!!

OBAMA 08

Sean   May 7th, 2008 4:21 pm ET

Like he would tell the truth…

joeb   May 7th, 2008 4:21 pm ET

Rush, you have proved once again, that you are indeed a scumbag!

Talia   May 7th, 2008 4:21 pm ET

what a douche! i can't wait till all of this childish and petty behavior blows up in his face when the republicans lose the general election. THIS ISN'T A GAME! THIS IS OUR COUNTRY! obviously he doesn't care. I thought republicans were patriotic?

Mary   May 7th, 2008 4:21 pm ET

What a hypocrite!!! Just shut up!!

J   May 7th, 2008 4:21 pm ET

He is just saying that because they all know that Obama has the best chance as beating McCain. Like they showed last night Obama won all the important areas in Ind. to beat the McCain in Sept.

Woman for Obama in OKC   May 7th, 2008 4:21 pm ET

he is such a slimeball

Lynette   May 7th, 2008 4:21 pm ET

That can't be Rush Limbaugh "flip-flopping" can it??? He's such an idiot! He's now taking this new position out of fear! The republicans see Sen. Obama coming and they don't have a clue how to deal with him.

Dear Rush, you give us all well-deserved hope that McCain will not win and I'm loving every moment of your implosion!

Much Appreciated!

Audrey, San Francisco   May 7th, 2008 4:22 pm ET

dominated? sorry the razorthin margin by which clinton won indiana cannot possibly be called domination.

Hillary Tested, Blue Collar Approved   May 7th, 2008 4:22 pm ET

you know what i just realized…you fear Mr Obama!

Lonny, Seattle   May 7th, 2008 4:22 pm ET

I cant believe that there are people that actually listen to what he says…
So sad…

He is like a playground con that convinces you to trade your tasty p&j for his sack lunch that he promises holds much more treasure than your little sandwich… when you open the sack its full of brussel sprouts.

Anyone with half a brain can see that he's just changing to Obama because Clinton cannot win.

Jim Shimmer   May 7th, 2008 4:22 pm ET

Rush is an idiot. Who listens to him anyways.

OBAMA WILL BE PRESIDENT THIS YEAR. RUSH CAN GO SCREW HIMSELF. NO MATTER WHAT YOU DO, YOU HATER, HE WILL WIN!

Claire   May 7th, 2008 4:22 pm ET

*rolling eyes*

Liz in SD   May 7th, 2008 4:22 pm ET

Rush, shmush. He needs a reality check–or maybe more prescription meds. Earth to Rush–nobody's taken you seriously in years!!!

Steve   May 7th, 2008 4:22 pm ET

Rush, get a life!!! You are sooooo transparent.

SP   May 7th, 2008 4:22 pm ET

Why is cnn even giving Rush coverage? It's more sensationalized story telling. Report NEWS worthy content, and stop distracting easily impressionable people with such non sense.

fred   May 7th, 2008 4:22 pm ET

LOL, for once in my life I agree with Rush!!!!!

GO Hillary!!!

Beth   May 7th, 2008 4:22 pm ET

I think Operation Chaos is a success! The democrats have done it for years, now it's our turn!

Tim   May 7th, 2008 4:22 pm ET

Hey Limbaugh, this is the pharmacy…your prescription is ready for pick up!!!

DEE, PLANO TX   May 7th, 2008 4:22 pm ET

MAKE UP YOUR MIND RUSH….

Thomas   May 7th, 2008 4:22 pm ET

Rush is a miserable, hyproctiical, moronic pig who is MUCH more influential in his drug-addled mind than he is in reality. He is a waste of space on this earth.

Alex   May 7th, 2008 4:23 pm ET

Wow! Nice about face. It clearly shows Rush is getting nervous about the prospects of facing Obama come November.

Zack Mac   May 7th, 2008 4:23 pm ET

This is just a game to stretch out the fight even longer.. It has no bases.. Why did not he say that two days ago? why obama was not weak a few days ago? and all the sudden he is weak now.. Just a game.. Think people.. Shame on CNN to report such a thing.

Chris Gorham   May 7th, 2008 4:23 pm ET

zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz how boring is this?

Frank, Dayton, Ohio   May 7th, 2008 4:23 pm ET

Add Rush Limbaugh to the list of those who need to keep their mouth's shut.. He is second on the list to Jeremiah Wright.

Maxine   May 7th, 2008 4:23 pm ET

Anyone who listens to this drug induced idiot, is just that an idiot. Rush, I am a white, 53 year old, female, blue collar worker and I support Obama. But then I am not a racist like you and some "democrats" who won't vote for Obama because of his color.

True Democrats unite.

Beny   May 7th, 2008 4:23 pm ET

we don't like ppl like you in our generation.

WHY   May 7th, 2008 4:23 pm ET

WHY do we have to support the man who cannot win general election?

Jatovi, NC   May 7th, 2008 4:23 pm ET

How does this guy still have a job?

JAM   May 7th, 2008 4:23 pm ET

It is sad to say that someone(Rush)! who continues to down Obama, but doesn't look at his own faults and downfalls he has had in life with the drug addicition to pain killers should never judge anyone or speak bad about anyone until he look in the mirror at himself and should just keep his thoughts about Obama to himself. God doesn't like ugly at all!!!!! As i have stated before God doesn't make any mistakes and when he is in something you can see it. I do believe he has his hand somewhere in this for Obama.

Jam

Liar, Liar, plants on fire.   May 7th, 2008 4:23 pm ET

pan   May 7th, 2008 4:23 pm ET

This is just another political strategy. He has finally realized that Obama is unstoppable is only saying this to undermine his victory. In reality, the republicans are more afraid of Obama than Hillary

Vera from California   May 7th, 2008 4:23 pm ET

Rush, you must have read every book on how to be a racist jerk. No one does it better than you! If you kept your mouth shut, folks wouldn't know how stupid you are. hmmmmmm…nice thought. What in the world are you going to do with an African-American President???LOL
defect?????

Brian   May 7th, 2008 4:23 pm ET

The utter lack of intelligence from him has left me speechless, I can't even dignify this with a meaningful response…

Reverse psychology is *so* last century.

Tony Z- MD   May 7th, 2008 4:23 pm ET

No need to comment.

The truth hurts   May 7th, 2008 4:23 pm ET

It amazes me how Rush plays with the intelligence of the democratic party. Why is this not illegal to do in this democracy? Thousands of republicans listen to him and vote for Hillary Clinton to cause chaos. Now that Obama is set to receive the nomination, Rush tries to cause more chaos. Yet Democrats will continue to bicker and be devisive. WAKE UP PEOPLE!!!!!!

This is your life. Rush is already rich. Why are you not angry? These people are disrespecting you and your worried about supporters and how they are nasty. Give me a break! How many people on this blog have actually met the person whom they support? How many people on this blog have sat down and had dinner with the person they support? How many people on this blog can call the person they support on the phone right this minute? You don't know these people and everything they stand for. You are taking other peoples words or letting someone small minded influence your decisions. WAKE UP!

This is your life that you are throwing around. HRC or Obama can't do this without us, united and strong. This is for your future and the future of your children.

By the way I am a republican who wants change. I am rich and I'm doing very well under the current administration, however I live in the United States of America. I am ashamed of my party and would like to live in a united and successful America where all can prosper. I have met all three candidates personally, and all three of them have issues outside of the public marketing that is shown thru the media.

Lee   May 7th, 2008 4:24 pm ET

Who Cares   May 7th, 2008 4:24 pm ET

why is this even a story??

c'mon cnn can do better than this!

NObama   May 7th, 2008 4:24 pm ET

It tells me that the republicans fear Hillary, and know they can beat Odrama. Really is that any surprise?

Jim   May 7th, 2008 4:24 pm ET

What kind of game is this? First he tries to get Hillary to be the nominee and now that she is losing he thinks that if he tells everyone to vote for Obama it will get the superdelegates to swing her way! Don't think it will work for you!

Rose - Baltimore, MD   May 7th, 2008 4:24 pm ET

Whether it is Obama or Clinton going against Mccain, dems will win in Nov. Mccain is a very weak candidate. Even I, an unknown, can win if I ran against Mccain.

Vinnie Vee   May 7th, 2008 4:24 pm ET

Rush Late-baugh!!! Go take some more pills and call me in the morning. You're not even relevant to people who know better. Pill popping d-bag who needs Weight Watchers. Hit a treadmill or something.

Gabby   May 7th, 2008 4:24 pm ET

I am an Obama supporter. I will not vote for Clinton. But wow Rush you not back into the meds again are you? Operation Chaos indeed..

Obama 08

Casy   May 7th, 2008 4:24 pm ET

I already knew what Rush's objective was! Of course Obama is the weaker candidate. I bet the 527 will have a field day with him. They are just waiting for him to get the nomination!

Democrats, you want Obama——-well you got em!!

GO OBAMA!

Mike from VT   May 7th, 2008 4:24 pm ET

Rush is the king of lies. Take anything he says and you know the opposite is true. This only just confirms that Democrats made the right choice with Obama.

Veteran in DC   May 7th, 2008 4:24 pm ET

Veterans in Kansas,

and what should it tell us? It tells me that Rush is a flip-flopping idiot who thinks he still has significant influence over a large voting block. He doesn't. Last week he was "for Clinton," and now he's not.

What does it tell YOU?

Chimere   May 7th, 2008 4:24 pm ET

No matter what it's not going to be another republican in office again especially not old man McCain.

Dionne   May 7th, 2008 4:24 pm ET

WHY do you all publicize this? Why is this hateful man is on your political ticker everyday? He only does these things because you pay him attention, CNN. STOP letting Rush Limbaugh run your ticker!

Church Lady   May 7th, 2008 4:24 pm ET

What's so hypocritical is how evangelicals support this druggie convict, thinking their religion and political party is one and the same. He calls upon followers to be divisive, acting as some author of confusion.

Now who does that remind you of?

Well isn't that special.

Ken from Michigan   May 7th, 2008 4:24 pm ET

With supporters like that, who needs enemies.

Limbaugh needs to shut his pie hole!

who cares about that immature bastard, he thinks that being a radio host keajs he has much influence on people. Get a life.

Alexandra   May 7th, 2008 4:24 pm ET

Oh yeah the good old reverse Psychology.
Rush, we know the Republican's are TERRIFIED of Obama.
Their one big weapon (Rev Wright) against him did not sink him, hence they have nothing to use against him in November.
Get ready Rush and all the right wing meanies, Obama is comming to town.

sonny c.   May 7th, 2008 4:24 pm ET

With his income from spewing hate, what does Mr. Big think he is? A laborer who toils in the workplace? Move On should run more pictures of his "compound" in Fla. It makes some of his rich neighbors look poor.

uc   May 7th, 2008 4:24 pm ET

Limbaugh is a complete pack of IDiot, that is bilut under a decietful family

Cool   May 7th, 2008 4:25 pm ET

Personally, I will be writing in this November Rush himself. :)

Kentucky Voter   May 7th, 2008 4:25 pm ET

Don't be fooled.

He wants to tell the supers and such pick Obama so that Hillary supporters can scream and try to support her again and keep "Operation Chaos" going.

It's reverse psychology. Duh.

Dandelion.   May 7th, 2008 4:25 pm ET

I know Obama will blow away McCain in the fall.

We need to stick together, dems.

George from Argentina   May 7th, 2008 4:25 pm ET

Rush Limbaugh is exactly what the rest of the world hates about the U.S.

josh good NYC   May 7th, 2008 4:25 pm ET

He is absolutely correct. Obama rode the Hillary hate machine to meet his own ends and Hillary supporters will remember that in November.

Joe Gaines   May 7th, 2008 4:25 pm ET

Why don't you dig yourself a hole Rush fall in head first and come out after the election maybe if you hit your head hard enough you can figure how to dig yourself out after everything is over and come out with maybe 10 cent worth of sense

Anyone who listens to his show should be shot.

R.I.F.   May 7th, 2008 4:25 pm ET

If you've actually ever followed Rush and what he's been saying in the past, he never wanted to actually pick a canidate by voting for Obama, but just cause "chaos" and send the fight to the convention.

Now his point is to make it appear that Obama is the weaker canidate to give Superdelegates pause so, once again…the fight goes to the convention.

So before all of you Clinton backers start the "see, he's not electable" chant, please do your homework first.

Quandry in CA   May 7th, 2008 4:25 pm ET

All I can say is, if this country votes another "George Bush-esque" Republican into office in November, it deserves to wallow in it's current misery. C'MON PEOPLE …… WAKE UP !!!!!!!! How much more of this plundering do you think we can weather??

Who Cares   May 7th, 2008 4:25 pm ET

why is this even a story??
c'mon you guys can do better than this!

so ironic   May 7th, 2008 4:25 pm ET

HA! From the mouth of Operation Chaos itself! What a joke this guy is!

Now he is trying to use reverse psychology on the superdels to actually vote for Hillary and keep the mess going!

Just another phase of Operation Chaos!

Chuck in MO   May 7th, 2008 4:25 pm ET

Flip-flopping Rush. Proves what an idiot he is.

John, NC   May 7th, 2008 4:25 pm ET

Yeah right Rush! Nice try though, trying to scare the superdelegates into voting for Clinton! This man should be shipped out and banned from entering America ever again. It is such a shame that all Republicans care about is winning and continuing to ruin this country and making a mockery of voting……..I hope Republicans lose every race in every state from this day forward, they are truely the most pathetic human beings…………Conservative Christians? I think not!

Roger   May 7th, 2008 4:25 pm ET

I agree with the nut. Obama needs to drop out of the race to save the Democrat party.

Stick to sucking down your oxycotin and spreading lies to the conservatives who can't comprehend for themselves. Don’t forget, we are elitist, we know what you are attempting to accomplish concerning the few weak minded Clinton supports.

T. Trent   May 7th, 2008 4:26 pm ET

I thought the republicans were off but now I know that they are just STUPID! To listen to this man is just a mess, he want everything in the US to stay the same. So like Republican puppets you follow him. But Repulicans just remember, it was a republican that made the gas prices go up, that killed over 4000 American, and has increased unemployment! So while your casting meaningless votes just remember Rush can afford $8 gas, has no one fight in the war, and has a job!

And his "operation chaos", is doing nothing but putting a black mark on the Republican Party.

Leslie B   May 7th, 2008 4:26 pm ET

I am a conservative, Catholic Democrat and a strong Clinton supporter, and I will not be voting for Obama in the general election. I am clearly not comfortable with his judgment or his lack of experience. In particular, the manner in which he handled the Rev. Wright incident, raised deep concerns for me; I do not believe that he shares my values. I will not be voting for McCain either. I am truly dissapointed.

Dusacre   May 7th, 2008 4:26 pm ET

Who is Rush Limbaugh ?

Tired of W, OH   May 7th, 2008 4:26 pm ET

The guy's ego is bigger than all of us. Pay no mind to what this comedian says. He and his small-minded followers are grasping at straws, trying to find any light at the end of their collapsed tunnel.

Urging voter fraud is not only immoral, unchristian, and undemocratic, it is also illegal in Ohio (although the moron probably will not be prosecuted).

Aaron   May 7th, 2008 4:26 pm ET

This is playground reverse psychology. Anyone who does not see the fallacy of Rush babbling this announcement only after Obama virtually secured the nomination deserves to follow Rush like a sheep–right off the edge of a cliff.

It is sad to hear a conservative icon suggest people use the ballot to play a futile and childish game. Wasn't this once the proud conservative party that espoused the importance of fighting and dying to preserve democracy? Oh how the GOP has fallen.

dp   May 7th, 2008 4:26 pm ET

Thore   May 7th, 2008 4:26 pm ET

Republicans know Hillary is the stronger candidate and have been recruiting cross-over voters, since the primary process started. Think about all the red states that Obama have won that he will lose in November. The only math that counts in November is Electoral Math; Hillary wins the math hands down.

linda   May 7th, 2008 4:26 pm ET

rush and fox/ MCCAIN ,,, VANITY ,,think they can make or break a candidate ,,VANITY brags about it all the time ,,just remeber it was here I destroyed OBAMA …Little does he know people are not stupid they have a brain to think with and war is not it ..I listened to MCCAIN today and i don't think hes in very good shape …medically ,,I like him personally not wishing anything on him ..I think everyone who votes for more war should have to be identified and pay for it themselves im not going to ..

Arina   May 7th, 2008 4:26 pm ET

This Limbaugh guy is appalling, an American citizen to be ashamed of, - a parasite of society, not worthy to live in a democracy.

Limbaugh is rabious. (acts like he has rabies). THey should have put him to sleep a long time ago.

Alex   May 7th, 2008 4:26 pm ET

I would rather see all the skeletons come out of their closets now than against McCain. People are fickle and the controversy will die down the more time goes on. Most people will have almost totally forgot about reverend wright and the "bitter" comments before the general election even starts.

SarahJ   May 7th, 2008 4:26 pm ET

If the Republican Party has to fight dirty in order to win, then it is so obvious that they know they don't have a good candidate. Limbaugh is so STUPID!!!! Oh my goodness! And Hillary is just as dumb because she has allowed devisive ways to overtake her in attempts to break down the Democratic Party as a whole. GO OBAMA~~ Keep riding the high train baby!

steveda - poconos   May 7th, 2008 4:26 pm ET

WAIT!!! TIME OUT!!! Bill Schneider said she "dominated the democratic vote"????? She won by 18,000 votes, I would hardly call that dominating. Get a grip Bill. She won Indiana by the slimmest margin yet.

Wasn't it just a few years back that Rush admitted that he was addicted to narcotics? Sounds like he suffered a little brain damage.

WHY DIDN'T HE SAY THIS YESTERDAY? UNTIL YESTERDAY, HE WANTS TO VOTE FOR HILLARY, BUT TODAY HE IS FLIP-FLOPPING.

You're going to waste our chances in the general election. I beg you to please realize how the republicans fight, down and dirty, we NEED to fight them back the same way or guarantee ourselves 4 more years of McBush.

VOTE CLINTON SO THE DEMOCRATIC PARTY WILL HAVE A DECENT CHANCE OF WINNING IN NOVEMBER.

Regardless of his politics, I think that it should be against the law to seek to intentionally defraud a political primary. Urging listeners to switch party alliances just for a short term vote disgusts me!!!

Rush Limbaugh must be mixing Viagra and narcotics again….Anyone who tunes into his radio show is most likely doing the same sort of drugs. Here is a guy America should look up to, Right? Talk about an elitist, phony, fake, drug addict…….Guy's like Limbaugh and O'Reilly are on their way out of the business. American's have figured these sort of people out. They were all for sending our young son's and daughter's into a war that should never have been. They played it over and over and over until America believed them. They should be held accountable for the evil preaching they do. They are not getting closer to the unemployed line.

It is just so sorry that many American's trusted them.

Obama can't win - only Hillary can make it to the finish line.

If Obama is the Dem's nominee we are sunk. End of Story. Ready for 4 more years of McBush? If not, then SD's - think real hard on this one.

Matthew Manley, Nashville TN   May 7th, 2008 4:28 pm ET

Perhaps Limbaugh is just trying to get look like he still carries weight — say you're for Clinton and hope she wins Indiana. Then say you're for Obama and hope he wins the nomination. I very much doubt the superdelegates are going to do anything *because* Rush said to, rather than because Obama is the clear winner.

Chuck   May 7th, 2008 4:29 pm ET

Democracy depends on its citizens voting for the people they think will do the best job in office. Limbaugh's attempts to wreak havoc in the primaries are un-American. He accomplishes - along with the ditto heads who follow his lunacy - something terrorists would love to accomplish. Disrupt an Amrican election.

You cant fall for this idiot. He really wants Hillary.
At first he asks voters to vote for Hillary and of course some will actually listen but democratic sups obviously wont. But if he urges them to vote for Obama so they'll just vote for HRC instead.

Anna   May 7th, 2008 4:30 pm ET

Reverse Psychology Rush?

I heard him on his show today when he was talking about the race and he actually said that he knows that they can beat Hillary Clinton, but if he can somehow get people to think that it is Obama that they want to go against, then the Supers will rush to Clinton. He also said that an endorsement from him would "screw" Obama.

He also continued to try and raise doubts to the Supers about Obama. He said that they were afraid that the black people would turn on them if they voted against Obama. But then he added "Now you know they won't. They may be mad for a while, but they will be back. You own the black people." Those are Rush's words.

He really does still want to face Hillary, but he wants the media to start making it look like it is actually Obama.

Perfect Timing Rush…
You realized the nomination is all but over, so you try to change your mind so that you can carry bragging rights that you decided the democratic nominee.

R   May 7th, 2008 4:30 pm ET

Limbaugh has no say in anything, but it's clear that he wants to alienate Obama supporters by saying he wants Obama to be the nominee. That way, in his eyes Clinton will pick up delegates that defect from Obama and go up against McCain, which leads to an easy Republican victory.

Limbough has figured out that Obama will be the nominee, so this is just a ploy for him to be able to say "I told you so." Come November, the capacity of dittoheads to impact anything will be fully discredited. Rush is clever, but he really should untie that other half of his brain!

Mind you, people die in order to have freedom to vote. you should go to either North Korean or China maybe you will appreciate the important of vote. Shame on you.

Limbaugh is so transparent! Anyone who possesses simple deductive reasoning skills can see what his real goal is. This is an ill-fated attempt to cast doubt on Obama's electability, but it doesn't work. His so called "operation chaos" urges republican voters to vote for Hillary Clinton, hoping that the result would somehow yield a win for her, and at the same time keep the democratic nomination going right on through to the convention. But all he's actually proven is that even with Republicans casting votes for her in Democratic primaries, she still can't pull off the win. We all know Rush wants Hillary as the Democratic nominee because he actually thinks she will be the easiest one to beat. RUSH, YOU CAN'T SLICK A CAN OF OIL!

Rush, it's time you accept the fact that you could very well have the first African American president come November, and I know that's very painful for you. GET OVER IT!

Frank   May 7th, 2008 4:31 pm ET

I have been a lifelong Republican, but am seriously considering voting for Obama if he wins the Democratic nomination because he represents the hope of a change in government. I am tired of the Republican tricks / negative attacks. I will never vote for Hillary as the Clinton's are part of the "negative" problem in our government. I will not vote for McCain as he is tied to the failed policies of George Bush, the worst president the country has had and who has put this country on a very bad path.

Rush Limbaugh, who represents the right wing of the Republican party thinks he can fool everyone with his "vote for the worst" rhetoric, but he is wrong. He is alienating the good people of the Republican party.

I'm a Hillary supporter but I know when all is lost. Hillary has bigger nads than this guy will ever have.

Go team!!!

Annonymous   May 7th, 2008 4:31 pm ET

Rush is a loser and has lost the battle to stop Obama from winning. The republicans are really afraid of Obama hence he is changing the game at this point. Even some of his fellow republicans thinks that he is silly.

The media should not pay him no mind!!

I can't even put into words what an absolute JERK Limbaugh is. This is comical. He is only saying Obama is the weaker candidate because now this self proclaimed god knows Obama will get the nomination. The fact I am even responding to this shows I must be nuts as well.

Dina   May 7th, 2008 4:32 pm ET

Now I know Republican's are scared. LOL They sent this clown out ASAP even before the official Democratic nominee has been chosen to psyche out the crowd? That's right Russ…come from under the rock and see that handsome, brilliant, one-of-a-kind AA male leader that's about to come after your boy McCain. Just remember…Obama supporters and Clinton supporters are not one inthe same.

Actually I believe if the states that Obama won got to revote the numbers would be very different. Americans have learned a lot about Obama recently and I know a WHOLE bunch of Americans that have changed there minds and wouldn't support Obama NOW at all.
Stay in the race Hillary if you don't it will be President McCain because your supporters are going to vote McCain if your not a choice. I know my whole family and friends will be voting McCain if they can't vote Hillary.

Keep going Hillary!!

Aren't they supposed to help the public? Why does any party for that matter need help by such tactics - if Republican values are strong then people vote for them.

Such gimmicks smell of a clear manipulation ( IMHO, I call the voters who fall to such maneouvers as "Dumb")

Way to go RUSH. You are so fouled up on dope you don't even know who to root for. BUT, YOU SHOULD HAVE BEEN PULLING FOR OBAMA ALL ALONG. IT's IDIOTS LIKE YOU TWO THAT IS GOING TO BE THE DOWNFALL OF THE AMERICAN PEOPLE. With Obama as President it will be like jumping out of Bushes burning pot of stew right into the hot burning coals of hell!!!

indep   May 7th, 2008 4:33 pm ET

Limbaugh has a serious mental problem. What on earth makes him try so hard to make himself relevant to Obama? Is he over drugged to the extent that he got a brain damage?

He may be surprised at the end of the day how many Republicans will actually defect to Obama than carrying out his operation.

Rushheads unite!   May 7th, 2008 4:33 pm ET

What a knobhead.

Actually, this is great. If any Democrats or superDs or crossover Republicans were to even listen to Bush Limppaw, they would only push the vote in Obama's favor. And, contrary to Limppaw's distorted views, Obama does have the judgment and principle to succeed in the general election. So, Democrats will have the last laugh.

Limppaw is like the other balding, calculating Republican weasel, Rove–he
