Examining motives:

1) Someone wants to make money. Book sales? Celebrity? Re-Activate a dead career?

If these are the motives, then all this has little to do with Dems and Repubs. It has more to do with making a big splash and being in position to take advantage of the predictable reactions. What the perp may not have accounted for was the investigative capabilities of the bloggers. On this line of thought: look for players who would have benefited monetarily by a successful slam on Bush.

2) This election really is about ’08 and not ’04.

If these are the motives, then this is sabotage of Kerry’s campaign by those who would be set up for ’08. On this line of thought, the forgeries were expected to be discovered before the election, Rather would be bullet-proofed with experts so he could say it is not his fault, and more ‘revelations’ about the documents will leak over the next weeks.

3) This is set up to defuse the (previously) unstoppable SWBT Vets. In this scenario it was expected to be discovered that these are forgeries, but not necessary. Either way, the public and the MSM get tired of ’30 year old’ behaviors and no longer want to hear about it. It stops the downward slide in the polls of Kerry.

4) Stupid Dems.

‘nough said.
