And to add to your #3, by knocking Kerry down, Hillary comes in to save the day for the Dems - just in the nick of time at the convention next week. I still think she has a hand in this. Mishandling documents is her specialty.
I doubt it. I think Hitlery wants no part of G. W. Bush. W.J.B.Clinton ran against G.H.W. Bush because he was an outsider and it was his chance as a little known AR Governor to get the nomination. Hitlery does not want it this time around because too many things are out of her control.
For example what if these alledged nukes in Tikrit end up being actually true? She wants 08. She/They wants Kerry to lose this year. This is a nice way to undermine Kerry with no hint it is them doing it.
