That's Gotta Sting

OK, get this: Rush Limbaugh is this conservative/Republican radio talk show host in America. For the last month or so, he has been promoting his own little goofy scheme called "Operation Chaos". His plan is — basically, since the Republican primary has already been decided for John McCain — to encourage his Republican listeners to go and vote in the Democratic primaries for Hillary Clinton.

That's the set up, here is the punch line:

Indiana held its' presidential primary today. In exit polls, approximately 7% of people voting in the Democratic primaries said that, after voting for Hillary Clinton today, they were going to vote for John McCain in the general election. Hillary Clinton's margin of victory in Indiana is less then 7%.

Now, who in their right mind would vote for the Democrat Hillary Clinton in the primary, but would vote for the Republican John McCain in the general election?

Exactly.

In other words, a major reason... perhaps the only reason... why Hillary won today was because Rush Limbaugh and Republicans were playing a mass prank.
