Limbaugh supports Clinton

By Libby

Proving the old saw about politics making strange bedfellows, Rush is urging his dittoheads to get out the vote -- for Clinton.

"I want Hillary to stay in this…this is too good a soap opera," Limbaugh told fellow conservative talk-show host Laura Ingraham on Fox News Friday. He reiterated the comments on his Monday show and replayed the exchange with Ingram.[...]

"We need Barack Obama bloodied up politically. It's obvious that the Republicans are not going to do it, they don't have the stomach for it," Limbaugh continued. "As you probably know we're getting all kinds of memos from the RNC saying we're not going to be critical. Mark McKinnon of McCain's campaign said he'll quit if they get critical over Obama. This is the presidency of the United States we're talking about. I want our party to win I want the Democrats to lose.”

No one can complain this is an unfair tactic since the leading lefties were urging the same strategy before McCain locked up the GOP nomination but I do wonder how this is going to work with Clinton's earlier narrative on electability. If she wins today because of Republican crossovers, doesn't that negate the premise that she's more electable because Obama is drawing so much support from independents?
