Hey, you just said in a few words what took me and Ezra Klein many words.

I don't know if I agree about Clint conditioning the base, though. No doubt that's why they wanted him. But I don't think he played the role they wanted. Mine was an unusual take on it, and therefore sort of a useless exercise to go on about in detail, but in general I think Clint was talking ye olde kindler, gentler Republican alternative to Obama to the television audience, and ignoring the straw doggers (birthers, Ryans, et. al.) in the room.

Straw dog. They're making

Straw dog.

They're making Obama a straw dog.

Straw dogs don't bite, growl, need to be petted, fed or let out to do their business.

They just sit there.

Perhaps, Eastwood was "conditioning" the base ... think Pavlov's dogs here.
