6. I have a different theory and it goes back to the GM Super Bowl commercial

I don't know if people remember, but the GOPers went absolutely ballistic when the Clint Eastwood ad aired during the Super Bowl. They were apoplectic because they thought it was essentially a campaign spot for Obama, which it wasn't. Clint was just proud the auto industry came back in a big way and he did the commercial for GM. He didn't do it to help Obama at all.

So when the GOP found out they could get Clint to speak at the convention, they were ecstatic that they could get Clint Eastwood to stab Obama in the back. They thought that they could, in their warped minds, take Eastwood away from the Obama campaign and use him to help Romney.

Well it backfired in a big way and they have nobody to blame but themselves.
