I posted this theory a while back. It is admittedly far fetched, but as Conan Doyle wrote "...when you have eliminated the impossible, whatever remains, however improbable, must be the truth."
We have Bill and Hillary involved in a stand-up routine that shows they have either become totally tone deaf politically, are both experiencing early onset Alzheimer's, or there is something else up.
I don't believe they are that incompetent, I simply don't believe it. There is too much evidence to the contrary for that to be the case.
I can't rule out mental defect, but judging from their performance in other areas, they are both of sound mind.
So what could be the improbable scenario we aren't considering?
Could this all be an act?
My imagination entered overdrive right after Hillary had the schizoid episode where in the last debate at the end she first lauded Obama, stating how proud she was to be with him, then turned around and attacked his "plagiarizing" with a "plagiarized" remark of her own. The result: Obama leaves the "plagiarizer" charges in the dust. Then came the Wright matter; it not only cleared the air regarding potential liability of Wright to Obama, but it cemented in the public mind the fact that Obama was a lifelong churchgoing Christian and definitely NOT a Muslim.
I think it's possible that the day of the last debate was the day Hillary conceded the race; and that since then, she has been acting as a foil for Obama against the right wing domination of the media message. With her in the race the Dems are in near total control of the news cycle. As long as she stays in that will continue.
Think about the way things have gone since the right set out to destroy the Dem party under Ronnie Ray-gun. Through their talk radio influence and Fox they have used the economics of the MSM to set the discussion during election cycles to precisely the point where they wanted it to be. Over and over again, crap like this misrepresentation of Obama's remarks has been the difference between having political power and being an 'also ran'. The "vast right wing conspiracy" isn't just a figure of speech, it is a fact of life that we've been up against for 20 years. The Dean scream, Kerry the elitist, Biden the plagiarizer, Willie Horton, the list goes on and on and on.
So how do you counter it?
To date there hasn't been an answer to that. But maybe, just maybe, we aren't seeing an instance of a circular firing squad. Maybe what we are actually witnessing is the execution of a very tightly held plan to manage the message and bring some sanity back to the governance of this country.
Forget the rhetoric and look at the results: record turn out in 50 states; meme after meme turned impotent and stripped of impact. Listening to the MSM, you'd barely know that McCain is in the race. Could this discord be leading to us to victory?
At least, that is what I fervently hope is going on...
edited to complete a thought.
