Operation Chaos

Obama outperformed expectations last night, handily winning NC and coming within breathing room in IN. To whom can Clinton credit her victory? None other than Rush Limbaugh:

Eleven percent of the voters in Indiana tonight were Republican, Marc Ambinder of the Atlantic reports -- and they went for Clinton over Obama 52% to 46%.

Over at the Huffington Post, Sam Stein crunches some of the exit poll numbers and wonders: “Thirty-six percent of primary voters said that Clinton does not share their values. And yet, among that total, one out of every five (20 percent) nevertheless voted for her in the Indiana election. Moreover, of the 10 percent of Hoosiers who said ‘neither candidate’ shared their values, 75 percent cast their ballots for Clinton.

Clinton's margin of victory was under 2%. Had it not been for those Republicans, who will not vote for Clinton in November, she would already be out of the race. I hope she can take a sober look at reality and concede.
