I've always though OC was right-hearted but wrong-headed, but here's some stats on it.

OC will skew DNC Stats/Tabulations for at least two years, until their actuaries figure out how to ignore the data.

OC quantified ping.

Obama and Clinton? “They’re socialists not Democrats,” Gibson said. McCain? “He’s a Democrat-light.” “I’m tired of voting for someone who’s the lesser of two evils,” he said.

Wonder what his FR screename is.

I wonder if OC will still seem like a good idea if a few precincts are lost because people are suddenly identifiying with being Democrats as they are now, you know, registered as Democrats.

How many precincts will it take for it to be a no-longer-good idea?

Living in a “Peoples’ Republic”, I have voted in ‘rat primaries for quite a few years as it provides the only real input to the system.

We could say that tons of Democrats switched also. But that would be four of them.

What if ALL these people interviewed actually voted for the wife of the Rapist, as part of Operation Chaos, wouldn’t they have said all the sorts of things they told this reporter: “We’re voting for Obama in November,” “I just can’t vote for McCain,” etc.?

The party-switching in 85 of Ohio’s 88 counties with data available could be a sign of excitement about Democratic candidates Hillary Rodham Clinton and Barack Obama...yeah, right, absolutely - how do such clueless people manage to even find their way to a computer to write such stuff?......

A couple of concerns with Operation Chaos, the way I see it, is that with this futile push to prop up Hillary to take it to the convention for the “brawl”, many of us may have completely forgot (or were not able, if they were held simultaneously with Presidential primaries) to vote for local / state conservatives Republican nominees in the primaries.

Another possible negative effect could be that high visibility of Operation Chaos is driving many [usually young, politically apathetic and uninterested in voting] new voters to register as Democrats and vote for Obama which, in turn, will also get them to vote for him in general elections - now that they tasted the “political victory” and have a “stake” in Obama’s win in November.

I guess, detailed numbers by state could show how many Republicans have not voted in the primary elections this year vs overall registration numbers for Democrats compared with previous primaries (assuming, of course, that Republicans that registered as Democrats strictly for OC would otherwise showed up for vote as Republicans this time around).

It maybe impossible to figure this math out, but these are my concerns, along with the fact that we are looking more into messing up something in the opposition simply because Republican electoral process [and putative presidential nominee] has been so messed up itself.

Operation Chaos: Why Rush Limbaugh Was Right

Ignore that man behind the screen. Ignore Rush Limbaugh and Operation Chaos. Find the one clueless Republican, who still believes that Obama will deliver a fresh start.

No wonder, they're called the Dinosaur media, they are clueless. Anyone going to them for news is a fool.

It was certainly right-headed too. Only by having Hillary in did Barack get bloodied up, and she still needs to stay in.

That said, I don't think the troops marched in lock step. My wife, for example, voted for Obama because she hated Hillary.

In the fall, unfortunately, I think you'll see massive numbers of Republicans stay home. Too bad, because either of these bozos could have been beaten easily by a real conservative.

Gee, the article doesn't mention Operation Chaos or Limbaugh.

Go figure.

Snort!

It’s fun to watch the left tie itself in “logic knots” trying to discount the effects of Operation Chaos. Evidently this is the training they acquire at journalism school. Ignore facts that get in the way of a good left-advancing story. And create man-on-the-street interviews as necessary when inconvenient facts threaten your mission.

“I could not stomach to have another Clinton in the White House,” said Karen Purdy, one of the Republicans who switched. “I thought the country needed a fresh start and I thought Obama could do that.”

Karen, you're purdy stupid.

Then how about the least of three evils?
