16,000 Republicans switched parties in Cuyahoga County says the Cleveland Plain Dealer. That's just a small sampling of the voters who switched parties at the behest of their lord and king, Rush Limbaugh.
In the weeks leading up to the Ohio and Texas primaries, Rush started a campaign to have Republicans vote for Hilary Clinton because he and most Americans believe that John McCain will have a much easier time beating her in the general election.
Callers into their saviors show have been bragging about their votes and comentors across the internet have been doing so as well. Of course this will fall on deaf ears of Clinton supporters and Republicans who really want to retain the White House. But democrats should take a step back and remember for a moment. RIP 2000/2004. All that foul you were screaming then, is just as foul now.
However this time it's not just foul, it's illegal. A new law punishable by 6 to 12 months in the poky and a $2,500 fine. Ohio (my home state) revised its election code to include a falsification clause (Revised Code 3513.20).
But don't expect anything to come out of it. I think its really interesting to consider the fact that a candidate for the US Presidency is being voted for because the opponents believe strongly and openly that one is easily beatable, and one isn't.
