I voted for Obama in Wisconsin in order to kill Hillary. It should have worked sigh. Rush made a huge miscalculation
As I did in Virginia. The result was outstanding. Hillary soundly defeated, her hopes dashed, and her base despirited and demotivated. It not only took her down, but everyone associated with her campaign, her elected allies, her interest groups. Campaign insiders were at each others throats, pointing fingers. Real damage. She had defeat written all over her face after the humiliation of Wisconsin. It was working.
This just rallies both camps. They both succeed. They're both strong now. There on the same side of most every issue. It's actually a beauty contest, and most Dems like both of them. Now there both on display for they're respective camps to admire with more free media exposure than they could ever dream about purchaing.
This can only server to build the Dems up.
Wrong call Rush. 180 degrees wrong. It would be far more damaging to have taken her completely out, destroyed her political viability and the whole rotten machine surrounding her.

It would be far more damaging to have taken her completely out, destroyed her political viability and the whole rotten machine surrounding her. How would "we" have done that, exactly? Even in Texas, only 9% of primary voters were Republicans, and Obama won the majority of them, 52%.
Assume that he had increased his winning percentage to that he achieved in Leftie-friendly Vermont, approximately 66%. He would have garnered another 40,000 votes or so, and Hillary would have still won the popular vote in Texas.
You're blaming Rush for something that made no difference. Look at the numbers. This result was going to happen, Rush or no.

Take her out...while we have the chance. McCain is weak; we could see the Clinton’s back in the White House-disgraceful.

Spot on. And now the Dems will be in the MSM spotlight up to the convention. Such coverage is priceless. McCain will be in the background with no one paying any attention to him.
