Operation Chaos created the path for Obama.

Quite the contrary. Operation Chaos was specifically designed to help Hillary back into contention -- to give Obama some competition. Somebody had to publicly air Obama's negatives -- since McCain's campaign had already promised not to go negative on Obama. Hillary was the only person who could do this.

Recall that, once Operation Chaos started, Hillary started winning primaries. Indeed, it was clear that she would not have won several states (e.g., Indiana) had it not been for Operation Chaos and conservatives re-registering as Democrats.

Operation Chaos achieved its objective. It helped Hillary make a race of it. And gave her an opportunity to throw a little mud.

Thus, it's hardly "responsible" for Obama in any way.

Well, let me thing about your comments for a few minutes. You make some good points. Obama could have steamrolled right through the primaries without the beast in the mix.

I never, never, never thought Obama could win running so far to the Left. America is dead.

By the way, I’m a HUGE Rush fan. Just think he may have gotten this one wrong (or, maybe, it just got away from us).
