I remember Limbaugh was promoting cross-over voting in 2008 to ensure that Hillary didn’t get the Democrat nomination. He was encouraging Republican voters to go and vote for Obama in the primaries so that McCain would not have to face Hillary in the general election. I believe that his reasoning was that Hillary was well entrenched in the political system and that Obama, being a relatively young, new-comer to the system, would not be nearly as effective at getting things done if he were to win the election.

That was “Operation Chaos”. It was undertaken after Obama was fairly close (actually he pretty well had it sewed up) to having the magic number of delegates. The idea was to vote for Hillary to drag out and delay the inevitable Obama victory and make the ‘RATS continue to spend money in their primaries. It actually worked and achieved THAT purpose. Of course, the idiot McCain was such a poor candidate it didn’t matter in the general election.
I still have one of Rush’s “Operation Chaos” hats that I occasionally wear.
