    Huh?

    I was just listening to David Bender on Rachel Maddow's show, and he seems to have a bug up his hiney about how Hillary Clinton should denounce Rush Limbaugh for "Operation Chaos" - his exhortations to his listeners to crossover in their primaries to vote for Clinton - and to declare publicly that she doesn't want their votes. Now, maybe I'm missing something, here, but exactly what does it accomplish to do that, other than to give Limbaugh a gift? I mean, it's not as if Limbaugh and his minions are going to stop doing something because Hillary Clinton tells them to, is it? If anything, they may just become that much more gleeful about doing it - and it makes the fire-starter seem even more important than he already thinks he is. He'd love the recognition. So, if Hillary should denounce Republicans who are voting for her even though they intend to vote for the Republican nominee in the fall, does that mean Obama should also denounce the Republicans who, earlier in the race, admitted voting for Obama although they intend to vote for the Republican nominee in November? Or is this really about something else? In other election news, the Indiana voter ID law prevents massive voter fraud by nuns.
