Koch: If Obama wins on May 6, he is the nominee and will lose in November

Old Ed knows the score inside the Dem party:

I believe that, if he is the Democratic candidate for president, Senator Obama will lose in November. There are many people in the Democratic Party and its leadership who feel that way.

Well, aren't we glad that the "Operation Chaos" operatives acting on orders from Rush are going to prevent that from happening?

I sincerely doubt many will do anything based on what a entertainment show guy has to say.

[Aria]

Anyone know what Rush told his listeners in Indiana and NC to do tomorrow?

[Red Steel]

Vote for Hillary.

[advance_copy]

Rush ordered his listeners today in NC and IN to go vote for Hillary Clinton.

[Jess Kitting]

If Obama wins on May 6, he is the nominee and will lose in November

That's exactly why we need to be rooting for him, not Hillary, in the primaries.

Sorry Rush. Operation Chaos will only help put Hillary back in the Oval Office.

[Cedar]

Many Hillary voters will be just as upset if she doesn’t get nominated as the supposed angry blacks for Obama.

If she loses, some will sit out come November, no doubt.

[Aria]

Thanks - I almost can’t believe he did that I hope no one pays attention.

I’m wondering about ulterior motives.

“Sorry Rush. Operation Chaos will only help put Hillary back in the Oval Office.”

I believe that is exactly what Rush wants to happen. The Clinton’s were a gold mine for his show.

[GOP_Raider]

Tomorrow evening we will know the outcome of the Democratic primaries in two important states that could decide the political fates of Senators Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton.

Koch is wrong here, IMO. This thing is squarely on the shoulders of the superdelegates, especially if this keeps dragging out. Not only will nothing be decided tomorrow, the waters get even murkier the longer this goes.

[1035rep]

Liberals are getting the boot across the globe. I hope we do the same in November.

[singfreedom]

Yes, but not as many of Hillary's will stay home as would Obama’s. Hillary's will vote for McCain. The angry black Dems won't. They'll stay home.

[machenation]

Thanks for the article.
I'm optimistic the beast will loose and then unleash the death card. If the beast gets away with it the country will burn down. Then the beast will conduct congress as she pleases and cause the sell off of the dollar, from there the national guard will be withdrawn from war and turned on the U.S.
Then there will be a mutiny in the armed forces, the Pakistanis will launch against tel Aviv. At that point the beast will get ambitious.
That's all Folks

**********************************************************
Sorry, you haven't listened to Rush for the past decades. He has been a strong and consistent voice against the Clintons. And continues!

If he had not started “Operation Chaos” Hillary would have floundered long ago. We would have Obama who appeared as a neat speaker wearing an empty suit. We now know his suit was far from empty. It was filled with many very disturbing items.

He will most likely still win the dem nomination but we have all now seen some of the contents of his suit. (I suspect that we must thank Hillary for that.) The repubs would never have even looked. Now even many blue collar folks have turned against him.

Godspeed,

[singfreedom]

Are you kidding? This time around “Ugly Hillary” will get that abominable equal time bill passed and there won't be a Rush show. Rush is just trying to make the Dim Dem contest as contentious as possible. If they are slogging away at each other, they aren't picking on McCain—and, Lord knows, McCain needs all the help he can get!

[ASA Vet]

It doesn’t matter who wins in Nov, we’re going to be stuck with a liberal.

[cricket]

He will lose; most likely. OTOH. ..

. . .there is some serious politiking of the worst kind going on. The Dems don't seem to care about the 'losing side' here. Is Obama preparing for something else? Is this his campaign for now - or 2012? Or something bigger? The payoffs to the Super Delegates is huge; lot of money going to make sure, people are in their places and supporting Obama. . .for the 'big lose' or. ..what?

This campaign - thanks of course, to 'radical Left' immersion in Demrat Party - simply to wierd to figure out - with certainty - right now. Beyond, that is, the 'by hook or by crook' MO of Obama versus Hillary. . .with Obama winning by a few more hooks AND crooks and better organization - than Hillary.

(Who but these Progressives would come up such anti-Democratic MO as electing their nominee by paid-for(bribed). . .Super-Delegates? Who would so wants to 'change' the political-scape' of America?

[verklaring]

Rush views both Obama and Clinton as beatable in November.

The point, at present, is that neither can win the nomination by popular votes or caucus delegates. It is the super delegates who will have to determine the nominee. They both come up short in numbers. Neither will be nominated by the primaries.

The result is that the super delegates will have to "murder" one of the candidates. Neither will be democratically nominated. "Operation Chaos," so called, is not about nominating either of them. It is about forcing the matter to the convention and the political bosses, so that what comes out, is not the result of the primaries.

The result is that whoever is nominated, is not legitimate. Since McCain was thrust upon us by the same tactic used by the Dems in early primaries, it is a just result.

If McCain loses in November it will not be because Rush did not help him, but because McCain blew his own campaign.
