In defense of Clinton surrogates hinting at something "happening" to Obama.
They're alluding to a possible "Macaca Moment", or something akin to Dukakis in his stupid tanker's helmet, or Kerry dressed up like a condom(WTF!). Let's not descend into 9-11 truther territory, shall we? :hi:

2. Why hint at anything?
What is the point of that? If you can't win in grace, please lose in grace.

3. Then She Can Suspend Her Campaign
If she suspends then she's still in position if Obama blows up.

That argument is nonsense.

9. Of course there is a chance another Clinton lie (such as on Bosnia and NAFTA) might end her campaign
for good.

10. I saw a reporter talking about how Clinton could win and it included
a reference to that but also seemed to infer something physically happening to Obama. This was yesterday or today. Plus, in OH I was told Hillary wanted to VP slot b/c she would be in the catbird seat. This has to be from the Clinton Camp. I must have looked puzzled b/c they explained what that meant. I'm sure you can figure it out.

12. "surrogates" could be you and me
The hillary campaign has no responsibility over her "surrogates", which is just a term used here to transfer blame to campaigns of both candidates. It's as overused as "thrown under the bus".

13. Maybe but
I still think there is something sick and very wrong with another Democrat HOPING something bad happens to the front runner (of your're own party) so that you can use that to benefit yourself. I don't believe I've ever heard such crap in another election coming from someone in their own party at another member of the party. :-(

15. Like she is going to say
Sorry, Obama put on a silly hat, or didn't look like he was enjoying his burrito enough! Time to step in and save the day!

Pass me a shot!
