Is it possible that Fathead McOxycontin actually helped tip the scales in Texas in Clinton's favor? It's possible.

A few days before the Texas/Ohio primaries, Rush Limbaugh told his audience of faithful lapdogs…

"I want Hillary to stay in this, Laura. This is too good a soap opera. We need Barack Obama bloodied up politically, and it's obvious that the Republicans are not going to do it and don't have the stomach for it, as you probably know…

"This is the presidency of the United States we're talking about. I want our party to win. I want the Democrats to lose. They're in the midst of tearing themselves apart right now. It is fascinating to watch, and it's all going to stop if Hillary loses. So, yeah, I'm asking people to cross over and, if they can stomach it — I know it's a difficult thing to do, to vote for a Clinton, but it will sustain this soap opera, and it's something I think we need. It would be fun, too."

But are his listeners actually mentally capable of grasping ideas that abstract? Seems unlikely, doesn't it? Well, as Reason Magazine points out that…

Obama won the Republican vote 52-47, but conservatives (22 percent of all voters, up from 15 percent in the Kerry-Edwards primary) went against Obama. For the first time since Super Tuesday, they were Clinton's best ideological group: She won them 53-43. And Clinton won 13 percent of the people who said Obama was the most electable candidate.

Ohio didn't wind up being very close, but Clinton won the Texas primary by about 98,000 votes out of 2.8 million cast. If the exits are right, about 252,000 of those voters were Republicans, and about 618,000 were conservatives.

So, if even 16% of those 618, 000 conservative voters were there under orders from Limbaugh, then his lardish influence was felt.
