Obama supporters Sen.John Kerry, D-Mass., and Gov. Janet Napolitano, D-Ariz., argue that the superdelegates now have a responsibility to move the nominating process forward. “Obama has shown he can win across the board and now its time for superdelegates to bring this to a close,” Napolitano said. Obama is expected to meet with undecided superdelegates tomorrow in Washington.

Kerry said that it is the responsibility of the superdelegates to ensure that the Democratic Party will be unified at the convention in August, and suggested that Obama could have won the Indiana primary last night if it was not for the Republicans. “I think if it hadn’t been for Republicans taking Democratic ballots he likely would have won in Indiana too,” Kerry said. “Rush Limbaugh was tampering with the primary and the GOP has clearly declared that they want Hillary Clinton as a candidate.”

“(Kerry blames Rush Limbaugh)”

Does the moron realize he’s made Rush’s day?

[Political Junkie Too]

Nonense. The super-delegates could have stopped this at any time, if they had the courage of their convictions. They didn't. They weren't willing to offer up an endorsement of a candidate while there was still doubt in their minds whether they'd be making the right or wrong choice.

That wasn't Limbaugh's fault -- it's the natural cowardice of a politician to be out on a limb.

The swift boaters have found a new target.

Obama: “Rush Limbaugh has more influence than I do.”

The message is CLEAR and LOUD.

win across the board

Hussein has shown that he can win the black vote and the collegiate vote. It is an intense but narrow board.

Don;t you mean the “haughty” John Kerry?

[meyer]

"On Monday, Limbaugh launched what he called “Operation Chaos,” where he urged Indiana Republicans to vote for Hillary Clinton. Plouffe agreed that Limbaugh did have an effect on the outcome of the Indiana primary."

On MONDAY?? How about months ago!

Regardless, Kerry's blaming Rush really made my day - I think that we can now declare Operation CHAOS a success.

"the GOP has clearly declared that they want Hillary Clinton as a candidate."

NO, we want Jon Cary as the candidate in '08!!!!! :^)

Can't speak for anyone else but I would love to see Lurch in the ring again..... even though McCain would denounce SwiftBoat ads again they would run and would take Jon Cary down.

John SKerry finally said something truthful!!! GO RUSH!

The primary process needs to be changed. All states need to be voting within say a month or two of each other. Can’t blame Republicans for crossing over when they don’t have anyone to vote for.

[SERKIT]

This is complete political irony! John F’n Kerry is a Super-Duper Delegate and haughty enough not to trust his own constituents. His state voted for Hillary, yet John F’n Kerry and Teddy ‘hic’ Kennedy are backing Barry! Priceless!!!!!

Limbaugh won Indiana for Clinton, that’s obvious, and it’s not his first. The flip side of Rush’s funhouse? Clinton can now demand the vice presidential slot, and it looks to me, with today’s words by Her Highness, Terry M., and Wolfson, that they’ve decided to go for VP.

Thanks Rush. Clinton was down and out and you’ve managed to probably give her a spot on the ticket. If they win, four or eight more years of Clinton. The Vampiress is rising again.

Or, as Bond Girl Zsa Zsa Huffington says it,

“Oh-pah-ray-zhun Xhay-ohs”.

[griswold3]

That’s a solid!
If the dems had run a moderate candidate for POTUS (like they’ve been doing for congress and winning) “Operation Chaos” would just have been a joke.
Instead the joke’s on the dems.
Circular firing squad, resume positions.

[Argus]

Clinton can now demand the vice presidential slot

And go down to defeat playing Obama's second fiddle? Can't see it myself. Besides which the Clintons now hate Obama and will do everything to undermine him if he's the nominee.
