I’d guess it is the Obama handlers’ planned strategy to start to break the news of whatever they’ve come up with to use for the states requiring verification in 2012. Probably all worked the details out when they were out there for Xmas.
Won't do any good. Obama has stonewalled the country about his bc for over two years now. No one on this side of the aisle is going to buy that he's released the genuine article at this late date, no matter how authentic it looks.
Once Obama & Co. release his alleged long form, the gloves will finally come off on the right, and the subject will be fair game for every talker, blogger, politician, and writer on the right. It's then that you'll see all of the well-worn logic and arguments laid down in Free Republic come out of their mouths.
It will be a blow so devastating, that it will collapse the foundations of the left.
I'm not so sure that they're willing to chance it.
