People often say I'm nuts. Well, I'll save you the time, I'm nuts. That doesn't mean I can't be right also. Think back to how odd the last portion of the last debate was. She accused him of plagiarism embraced him warmly and then plagiarized Bill in the same way. Then she started with the dirty tricks and now everybody hates her and is waiting for Obama to decisively put her down. But I've been noticing a pattern that I HOPE is correct.
I just have to hope that they have planned this. Let's look at some of "the things everyone knows". Everyone knows that the longer the Dem campaign goes on, the less time we will have to deal with McCain. True, but.... Everyone knows that the dems are going to spend all their money before the GE. True, but... Everyone knows that Hillary is really a monster anyway. Certainly appears true, but...
The but is, but what if it's planned?
For most people, long ago the numbers made it clear that Hillary couldn't win without fracturing the new base formed by Obama. However, there are/were serious potential problems with Obama making it through the slime machine in order to reach the Presidency. We've never had a black American run for president. I'm just speculating, but if you can wouldn't you want control of the attack side when the weaknesses are brought into the limelight? That's what Limbaugh is partially about for the rightwing. He anticipates the weaknesses and creates an atmosphere that makes the problem old news the day before it happens. When the bad news is announced his listeners are prepared to either ignore it, justify it, explain what "really happened" or become indignant over it.
What if this is a massive game of charades that positions BO in just the right light precisely at the end of when they make everyone sick of the topic of race. Or take the commander in cheif thing with McCain. What has she actually done? Sure she endorsed McCain over Obama. Yep, she clearly did. But think about it, isn't an endorsement by Hillary for Mc as CinC actually solidifying and magnifying the establishment image that the voters are rejecting? Obama never has argued experience. He isn't going to argue it later either. He's going to argue judgement against hot head mcCain. I think the right is being lulled into a false sense of security thinking that they are going to beat Obama by parading HJillary making a losing argument.
This is just speculative now, and I'm not wearing a tin foil hat either. (The copper wire laced through my ballcap not only works better but I can wear it out in public and it's more comfortable.)
And then again, maybe it's just wishful thinking.
It just seems that there is a strong potential sunny side to all these attacks if you think in terms of planning. The only one that doesn't fit is the Nafta dust up.
