INDIANAPOLIS,
IND.---Here's the official Obama team spin on what is shaping up as a
likely Indiana loss: "There really has never been any question that
Senator Clinton would win Indiana," said a Obama talking points memo
out Tuesday. Team Obama also blames Rush Limbaugh for urging
Republicans to infiltrate the primary and vote for Sen. Hillary Rodham
Clinton.

* There really has never been any question that Senator Clinton
would win Indiana, where she has the support of Senator Evan Bayh’s
political operation and the demographics heavily favor her. But we saw
today that perhaps her strongest asset was that Republicans believe
she’ll be an easier opponent to beat in November.
* Right-wing radio host Rush Limbaugh has been urging his listeners
to cross over and vote in the Democratic primary in Indiana to help
Clinton’s chances at becoming the nominee.
* Reports from Indiana polling places confirmed that record numbers
of Republicans were taking Democratic ballots to vote against Obama.
And Limbaugh himself bragged about the success of his effort on his
radio show today.
