It’s not on their website’s urgent queue (But Bobby Jindal’s confirming his being considered as VP is!!)

I’ll post the fox link whenever they put it up.

Ok, FOR about the 50,000 time I will explain it to the Rush haters yet again.

HERE is what Operation Chaos, as Rush has explained repeatedly, accomplishes. Instead of mindlessly repeating the garbage spewed forth by 3rd rate talk show wanna beens, how about those in this Hillary Hysteria try actually listening just ONE time? Operation Chaos WAS ALWAYS about keeping Clinton in the game to bloody up Obama. All the political damage done to Obama has come since the Texas-Ohio primaries. With out Clinton inc in the game, that was not going to happen. The RNC wasn't going to do it, the McCain camp was not going to do it, and the US Junk media certainly was not going to do it for us.

Keeping Clinton in the game keeps the Democrats fighting and is driving aways the “Moderate” voters from the Democrats. Obama is now losing the “Moderate” vote badly to McCain in both FLA and Ohio. He was winning those votes prior to Operation Chaos easily. The point of Operation Chaos is to use Clinton Inc to so politically cripple Obama that McCain can win the General Election despite the massive structural problems the GOP faces this election cycle.

By the time the convention arrives, she will have promised something to every soul in America, legal and illegal. I don’t underestimate “the folks” for wanting anything for free. She does a good job of sounding so sincere and the champion of the little guy. I honestly think she would clobber Mccain.

“Which is why Rush is nuts for pushing this Operation Chaos business.”

But it seems to be falling on deaf ears around here.

I’m not a Rush hater....what I’m worried about is this backfiring - but now that it’s worked quite well so far, seems to me if anyone is going to cross over it should be for Obama who I think is way more unelectable than Hillary. You’re right, McCain and the GOP were unlikely to take on Obama -in fact McCain is proving that with his attitude on North Carolina ads. Is Hillary the only one with enough guts to take the fight to the death?

To me Operation Chaos is like the Iraq war - if it succeeds it’s brilliant, if it fails it was a disaster that should never have happened.

Your ability to calmly suffer fools instead of squishing them like toads never ceases to amaze me.

Well I guess we’ll find out soon whether this was brilliant or a disaster.

VERY hard for any party to win the White House 3 times in a row. Other then FDR and Regan, no one did it in the 20th Century. The political deck is massively stacked against the GOP this year. In 60 days Operation Chaos has knocked the Democrats from 2 to one favorites to even with McCain. That would not happened if Clinton had been squished in both Texas and Ohio in Feb. The election is balanced on the edge of knife now. That was not the case as long as Barry Obama was getting such mindless adoration from the Drive By media. We needed Clinton out there doing the dirty work Clinton inc does best. McCain made it clear he would not do it. The RNC is run by gutless blue bloods to cowardly to do it. Chris Matthews and the rest of the Ex DNC clowns pretending to be “Journalists” sure were not going to do it.

Strange times that we live in. I agree.

How ironic, Hillary is the only one with enough guts to do what we wouldn’t have done to save ourselves.

I know Republicans who were taken in by Obama, but this was before the pastor disaster. Doesn’t Hannity get a lot of the credit for this? He’s been harping about Wright and Ayers for quite a while now. I go on the blogs where democrats think there are no conservatives and the divide between the Obama and Clinton sides is just huge...and they’re angry at each other.

I can’t stand the woman, I fear her, I despise her...but I have a very grudging admiration for her toughness. I think she would destroy McCain in the debates.

Personally, I think any Operation Chaos operatives should switch to Obama now. Is Rush talking about doing that?

The reason Obama has any chance at all is the Republicans who crossed in VA and elsewhere who got him unexpected wins here. Rush is a latecomer and is taking a huge gamble. Of course my vote for Obama was a huge gamble too (I assumed he was more beatable and as it turns out, I got lucky. Nobody knew about Wright back then.) The gamble now is that Hillary won’t get too strong and have the media’s “miracle comeback” annointment. Another problem I see is that Obama is already making conciliatory noises (he said the Dems would be in agreement by August).

"...Rush is nuts for pushing this Operation Chaos business..."

Can't Operation Chaos be implemented in favor of Obama in the next month?

How did Obama get wounded and how is it possible for Hillary to win the nomination? She can no longer win via vote delegates, which would mean, if she does win the nomination, it would be by super delegates overturning the voting of the people. How do you think all those folks who are behind Obama are going to react? You think they will smile and nodd and fall in line behind Hilldog? Even better, there are actually Republicans who are going to the Democratic convention as delegates because of this.

Depends if the polls show Obama way behind McCain they could make the argument that the most important thing is to beat the GOP ---they could tell their blackbase that unfortunately the polls show Americans aren't ready at this time for a black president and it is important not to set civil rights back by voting for the racist GOP Blah Blah Blah

It is really going to depend on the polls

Beware of Puerto Rico. Notice that the Clintons have been VERY quiet about it. 63 Delegates...HUGE popular vote!!

They DON"T vote in the actual Presidential election so I don't know why they have delegates in the first place.

Are you kidding? If she’s nominated, then it’ll be month after month of that screeching voice all over the country. I suspect McCain will win, even if only narrowly.

You may believe that McCain will not appoint the right kind of Justices but you can bet your bottom dollar that Hillary or Obama would appoint someone of their own communist ilk.

This is a statement worth repeating to GOP voters whenever they waver.

You were warned to stop the personal attacks. Apparently that wasn’t sufficient.
