The Obama campaign believes in the vast right-wing conspiracy.
The Illinois senator's chief political adviser David Axelrod noted to reporters just now that Republican crossovers accounted for about 10 percent of the Indiana primary electorate, and that Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton had performed well with the group.
"There were elements of the Republican Party, including Rush Limbaugh, Sen. Clinton's new ally, who were urging people to cross over and vote for her," said Axelrod, referring to the Limbaugh-led "Operation Chaos," a bid to disrupt Obama's path to the nomination and prolong a divisive primary battle. "She obviously was somewhat a beneficiary of that."
Chimed in Obama spokesman Robert Gibbs, "Apparently he's got more than just a crush on her." Clinton had joked on Sunday that Limbaugh "always had a crush on me."
Earlier, before either North Carolina or Indiana were called, Obama campaign spokesman Bill Burton sent out the transcript of Limbaugh's Tuesday radio blast.
"I have ... been receiving field reports ... from people, commandos, operatives, reporting that they have followed orders and fulfilled their duty," Limbaugh crowed. "In fact, some of the people show up and they ask for a Democrat ballot, and the poll worker says, 'Why, what are you going to do?' He says, 'Operation Chaos,' and they just laugh."
So there you have it. It's not on Obama if the race continues, his aides imply -- it's Rush's fault.

Laugh?
I thought my knickers would never dry!
WAAAAHAAA...STHU!! Hussien is a crying wimp!
I want to be first to say...call the WAAAHBULANCE, Barry!
This, folks, is direct evidence of the success of “Operation Chaos”!
This is so entertaining! A little while ago, “conventional wisdom” in the press was that Rush was obsolete and irrelevant! Now, he’s directing elections (like the failed Dan Rather used to do).
I wonder how they are going to try to silence talk radio? If they really think that Limbaugh is having an effect, they’ll feel the need to fix it quick.
I laugh and then laugh some more. I did try playing the game of Rush, and it is so funny. No, I will not vote for the one that I voted for in the Primary. Yes, this is funny.
They should all slit their wrists and just die or something.
This is compelling evidence of just inept and adolescent Obeyme will be going forward. Just imagine how he might manage (or not) any real issues of our time - particularly national security.
Reading some of the comments and some of them are good for a laugh. LOL
If Rush had any effect on a political party’s nomination, the RINO relic cross dressing cantankerous old geezer known as McCain would NOT be the Republican nominee. Rush gives lot of advice but a majority of Republicans ignored him in favor of that Keating Five Guy. He did NOTHING but play head games with the head cases known as the leaders of the Democrap Party.
Rush gives finger to Obama!
Hillary’s comment about Rush having a crush on her is terribly funny. Credit where credit is due.
But I thought Obama previously said he could draw Republican votes.
...Or maybe they may have learned not to mess with talkradio because it has made a difference.
That campaign just made a fatal mistake by letting El Rushbo know he can push thier buttons and make them dance.
Baaaaaaaaaaaaha.
It’s Rush’s fault.
I just love it.
‘Conservatives, doing the work RINO’S don’t want to do’
“Obama Campaign Points Finger at Rush”
And I hope Rush points a finger right back at them.
