Agreed, in this electorate it seems like reversing Hanlon's Razor gets further than obeying it...this seems especially true with the Republican base.


No, I'm actually in the dark about this. I watched the debate, heard the "Obama bad on purpose" vs. "Obama bad by accident" argument, thought nothing about it at the time or since, and then came here like an hour ago, and there are all sorts of comments about how Rubio said this thing which is going to ruin his campaign. What is the argument that this is a gaffe? That he gave Obama credit for not being clueless, even if it was still a form of criticism?

Ah. I didn't even notice, but then again I usually don't take censuses of the expected rehearsed talking points of politicians. (Although I do know which 2 people Carly Fiorina would call on her first day in office, because I have heard that scripted delivery like half a dozen times.)
