There was a conference call with reporters yesterday. The New York Observer\u2019s Jason Horowitz was talking to Hillary\u2019s communications director, Howard Wolfson. He asked Wolfson a question about me. Now, his question is all wrong. I never took credit for what happened in Mississippi, and I did not urge Republicans to cross over in Mississippi to vote for Hillary. I\u2019m being credited with it because more Republicans than normal did cross over and vote for Hillary, and that might have been residual from the week before when the strategery was actively urged on this program for Republicans to vote for Hillary in Ohio and Texas. I said, even after the Mississippi results came in the next day, Wednesday, I didn\u2019t take credit for this. I disavow any credit for what happened in Mississippi. We wanted Obama to win. We want Obama to win everything \u2019til we get to Pennsylvania, and then we get back in gear. But, remember, for Pennsylvania, if you want to cross over there, you Republicans, you gotta register by 24th of March if you want to do it legally. We want Hillary to win Pennsylvania. You know what the strategery has been, you know the Limbaugh Effect, Operation Rush the Vote, Create Chaos. So here\u2019s this exchange, keeping in mind that the reporter here, Jason Horowitz, gets the premise in Mississippi wrong.<\/p>\n<p>HOROWITZ: Rush Limbaugh was saying today that he thinks that it was because a lot of Republicans in Mississippi were voting for Senator Clinton because they want her to be the nominee. Do you think that that has any role in it?<\/p>\n<p>WOLFSON: Absolutely not. I understand that that might be his spin, or the spin of others. Look there\u2019s a Gallup poll that just came out that had Senator Obama and Senator Clinton both equally running ahead of Senator McCain by two points. I think the notion is laughable that people are going to vote for anyone for reasons other than the fact that they believe that they are going to be the best president regardless of party. I just think that that doesn\u2019t hold water. I think it is an effort by the other camp and others to explain away our recent success with independents and Republicans.<\/p>\n<p>RUSH: See, they\u2019re ungrateful. I knew they\u2019d never thank me, and I wasn\u2019t expecting them to thank me. In fact, I was expecting to be dissed. They wouldn\u2019t be the Clintons if they weren\u2019t dissing me and threatening me like Hillary did recently. &#8216;Be careful what you wish for, Rush.\u2019 Ooh! I cowered in the corner. Chris Matthews isn\u2019t buying it, though. Chris Matthews says don\u2019t doubt the Limbaugh Effect.<\/p>\n<p>MATTHEWS: Is Rush Limbaugh\u2019s master plan working? You bet it is. He\u2019s almost hoping that Republicans will vote for Senator Clinton to keep her around to bloody up Barack Obama. The strategy could be working. Even though Clinton lost last night in Mississippi, the Republicans indeed showed her some love down there. According to our NBC exit polling, what percentage of Clinton\u2019s overall vote in Mississippi came from Republicans last night? Twenty-four percent of the Clinton vote was from Republicans. That\u2019s almost one in four. Twenty-four percent of Clinton\u2019s vote in Mississippi came from Republicans crossing over to vote in the Democratic primary, apparently according to the wishes of himself, Rush Limbaugh. I\u2019m sure it warms his megawatt heart.<\/p>\n<p>RUSH: (laughing) That is Chris Matthews. That was on Hardball last night on DNCTV. Let\u2019s go back to February 25th on this program. This is what I said about women and the Democrat primary election.<\/p>\n<p>RUSH ARCHIVE: What prediction did I make to you last week that\u2019s already starting to come true? I\u2019ve given you one instance of it last week, and that is that women, I don\u2019t care if they\u2019re Democrat women, feminist women, liberal women, when all is said and done, if Hillary loses this thing, are going to be fit to be tied. They are going to be fit to be tied that men in this country forsake a brilliant, committed, experienced woman for a rookie guy, and then they\u2019re going to blame white guys for being sexist instead of racist. In fact, we can almost say we have a new category here, the Angry White Woman.<\/p>\n<p>RUSH: Actually, we\u2019ve got a new category that was given to us earlier by Lorraine X, Quintessential Angry Feminist Democrat White Woman, is what they are. Notice I didn\u2019t say Angry White Republican Woman. No, no, no. Because Republican women really don\u2019t have a dog in this fight, she said. So it\u2019s Quintessential Angry Feminist Democrat White Women. Okay. So made that prediction, you just heard it. Here on Hardball last night again, the guest is the Independent Women\u2019s Voice president Michelle Bernard. Matthews says, &#8216;Why do people in the Clinton camp and why do people generally take offense at what Geraldine Ferraro said?\u2019<\/p>\n<p>BERNARD: He is not an affirmative action candidate, he is highly qualified. He\u2019s captured the imagination of everyone in this nation and she seems to be really denigrating him and kind of saying, &#8216;You know what, realize your place,\u2019 it\u2019s almost as if we are beginning to see the evolution of the Angry White Female or the Angry Democratic White Female in this election.<\/p>\n<p>RUSH: I predicted the Angry White Woman, February 25th predicted. Now, Michelle Bernard, I know Michelle, and she\u2019s Jamaican. She\u2019s American, but parents of Jamaica. And she\u2019s sharp. She\u2019s conservative. But, friends, I know what I\u2019m talking about here.<\/p>\n<\/section>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>RUSH: All right, the Clintons.
