Operation Chaos

Operation Chaos is a proposal by conservative radio talk host Rush Limbaugh urging Republican voters to cross party lines and vote for Hillary Clinton in an attempt to prolong the Democratic Party race. Not that both candidates still running on the Democratic side aren't urging this themselves... hey, a vote is a vote, but is this how far we have sunk in American politics?

Talk of charges of election fraud in Ohio are unlikely to come to any fruition as it is virtually impossible to prove intent, so unless someone confesses to the felony you are unlikely to see anything come out of the talk. Ohio requires cross-over voters to 'swear' allegiance to the principles of the party they are crossing over to register with. As Rush jokes...principles? What principles?

It seems that principles are lacking all the way around if this is what American politics has become. It is one thing to urge members of the opposite party to come over to your side, quite another to specifically cast a vote simply to be an obstructionist. The Democratic party already seems to be headed towards a meltdown of Civil War proportions (Election of 1860)...do they really a push from Republicans?

An interesting twist, the Republican nightmare that is unlikely to occur, would be a Clinton/Obama or Obama/Clinton ticket. While neither candidate would likely support such a ticket... it would make for a very interesting November.
