Despite media eulogies for her campaign, Clinton was cheery and confident Wednesday.  Her course is unchanged—fight to seat the barred Florida and Michigan delegates, woo blue-color workers, and full sail forward.

No doubt, she’s “in it to win it” in part for the money.  Like a CEO paid in company stocks, Clinton’s personal finances depend on success.  She’s loaned the campaign over $11 million—and there’s talk of more.  This must undermine her viability in the eyes of political kingmakers (such as 527s), which view fundraising ability as a proxy for political support.

There’s mischief afoot: the Obama campaign says firebrand conservative Rush Limbaugh had a hand in the closeness of the Indiana race (which Clinton won by only 14,000 votes).  Limbaugh's "Operation Chaos” encourages Republican voters to cross over and vote for Clinton in Democratic primaries, to ensure a long and bloody nomination battle.

Writes the Washington Post:

Limbaugh crowed about the success of his ploy all day Tuesday, featuring on-air testimonials from voters in Indiana and North Carolina who recounted their illicit pleasure in casting a vote for Clinton. "Some of the people show up and they ask for a Democrat ballot, and the poll worker says, 'Why, what are you going to do?' He says, 'Operation Chaos,' and they just laugh," Limbaugh said Tuesday.
