Operation Chaos succeeded in defeating Hillary. That was the goal. Insofar as Operation Chaos failed to defeat Obama as well (by pitting her vs. him), the two were smart enough to sort out their difference behind the scene before destroying each other in the final chapter of the primary.

Yes, Hillary might have lost to McCain had not Operation Chaos replaced her. We don’t know that, and McCain contributed greatly to defeating himself. He would have done far worse if not for Palin joining the ticket. Recall the anti-McCain “I’m never ever going to vote for him” hysteria* on FR when he won the nomination, which subsided only when he chose the perfect conservative POTUS candidate for VP.

the whole point of OC was that mccain was so incompetent that we had to mess things up to give him at least a chance to drag himself across the finish line. Because he certainly wasn’t going to win on his ideas and charisma.

That's an interesting piece of revisionist history.

What parallel universe do you live in? Operation chaos encouraged Republicans to cross over and vote FOR Hillary in the democratic primaries. It had nothing to do with defeating Hillary.
