Clinton conspiracy theory time! Is this a result of Clinton people within the Democratic Party (McAuliffe – who’s been incompetent since the beginning…seemingly – Lehane, others…) intentionally sabotaging Kerry to engineer either a Kerry loss for a Hillary run in ’08, or a cavalry to the rescue bid by Hillary this time out? (Is it even possible to pull a candidate switch this close to the election?)

Once you jump to this level of speculation based on no evidence at all, the imagination can invent all manner of fun and interesting scenarios!
