Right-Wing Talker Claims Influence In Oregon Primary

Submitted by liwi on Tue, 04/01/2008 - 15:35.

Over on the MSNBC website NBC News follows up on an earlier Jeff Mapes blog item about voter re-registration in Oregon. MSNBC credits right wing talker Victoria Taft with inspiring some of the 10,000 registration-switchers who have re-registered as Democrat from Republican or Nonaffiliated in the past seven weeks.

Some renegade conservatives, though, will admit to switching in order to drag out the Democratic primary as long as possible in the hope of bruising both candidates along the way.

'We don't know a stinking thing about him' Talk radio hostess Victoria Taft, a familiar Republican voice in the Democratic-leaning Pacific Northwest, said that even in her wildest dreams, she never imagined urging her listeners to vote for Clinton.

But these days, Taft is firmly on the New York senator's bandwagon, along with national conservative talk radio heavyweights like Rush Limbaugh and Laura Ingraham.
