Maybe they put Clint on to make Romney look good...

I didn't watch it live since there was an exhibition football game to muddle through.

So, I watched the "speech" on the you tubes and I honestly can't say what he was doing. It was hard to watch.

I think Clint could have been dispensing frontier justice via performance art.

Clint was not talking to an empty chair. He was talking to Obama, "The Invisible Man" a la Ralph Ellison.

Many of his "confused" statements reflected the policies of Ron Paul, giving voice to them for the first time at the convention. While he criticized Obama, even more was directed at Romney, the control of the convention, and the big donors. Lawyers becoming President comment was directed at Obama and Romney, both Harvard Law. He seemed to encourage voting for some non-lawyer, thus neither R nor D.

And he sabotaged the rollout of Romney/Ryan to the American public. Clint is the big story, not Romney.

If Clint really did this deliberately, it would far exceed even Stephen Colbert's performance at the correspondences dinner.
