HILLARY CLINTON

Bill Clinton Digs In Deeper

Hillary's lead in Pennsylvania started shrinking when the tale of the Tuzla Dash was refuted. Will she be hurt by the fact that not only is Bill Clinton bringing it up again, offering a half dozen or so other lies/misstatements/where-the-heck-did-he-get-that in the process, but he is blaming the press for making it an issue?

"I regret that people like you care more about that when whether she served the troops," he told reporters today in Terra Haute, per ABC News' Sarah Amos.

I've gone back and forth on the Bill is consciously/subconsciously sabotaging Hillary theory. But if he's secretly driven by a desire to keep his status as the lone Democratic President to serve two full terms since Franklin Roosevelt, wouldn't he do this super-gaffe-o-matic routine in the general? Wouldn't he want to see Obama, a successor who could conceivably eclipse his legacy, knocked off first?
