David Weigel makes a fairly persuasive case that -- contrary to my instincts about tactical voting -- Rush Limbaugh's calls on Republicans to vote for Hillary had a real impact.

Go and check the exit polls. In Wisconsin, Republicans made up 9 percent of the Democratic primary vote. Obama won them 72-28 over Clinton. Just as tellingly, 14 percent of primary voters said they were "conservative," and Obama won them 59-40, a bigger margin than he won with liberals or moderates. Tactical voters who said Obama stood a better chance of winning in November? They went for him 87-13.
