Oooopsie! Looks like Rush's shenanigans may have cost the GOP their seat in Mississippi's First Congressional District:
As part of his self-described "Operation Chaos," the conservative talk-show host urged his listeners to vote for Hillary Rodham Clinton in the Democratic primary in order to draw out the presidential nomination process as long as possible. But in Mississippi, those party-switchers may not have realized the implications of their decision: The Republicans who voted in last month’s Democratic primary now are not allowed to cast ballots in Tuesday’s hotly contested runoff between Glenn McCullough, the former chairman of the Tennessee Valley Authority, and Greg Davis, mayor of one of the fastest-growing towns in the state’s 1st Congressional District.
And given how close the race could end up being, the fact that those ticket-splitters must stay on the sidelines could mean the difference between a McCullough and a Davis victory.
Awwwwww.
