How Desperate Is Hillary?

According to Howie Carr (Boston conservative talk radio personality), she's buying advertisements on Rush Limbaugh's program!

Quote:
She’s got more money than God, and how is her campaign spending it? They’re buying ads on my radio show, and Rush Limbaugh’s. Michael Savage must have been sold out.


For the record, I still think Hillary's got a chance, but this is certainly an oddball place to go fishing for votes.

Brain, that is definitely weird, if true. I'd been kind of semi-split in campaign contributions to Hillary and Edwards. More to Hillary, but this Iowa thing is a major blow. She comes in 3rd!!! Wow. That is a shock. If she is desperate enough now to try and get right wingers with her by advertising on winger radio? Trouble. I may have to re-evaluate Edwards. Still have a month to decide, California is in with Super Tuesday.

That you support him. I could never vote for someone you favored. What would people think? Got my street rep to consider.

Why are you voting for Obama?

Democrats listen to Rush Limbaugh as well. They just don't agree with him. I don't agree with Rush Limbaugh but its usually the most entertaining show on if I leave work around lunchtime to run errands.

Hillary wants to reach voters that TV spots might be missing. Good for Hillary.

And independents who can vote in either primary. Smart old school, I'm not so sure it's smart in the internet era; she'll surely take some criticism for it online.

CNN has advertised on the O'Reilly Factor, so not that big of a surprise that Hillary would buys ads on Rush's show which is the most listened to talk show in America.
One goes where the people are.

Another good question is: why did Limbaugh take her money?
