I love Nate Silver, but...

... this is silly. Just because someone reported that Hillary's campaign is planning to run out the clock doesn't mean they are doing so. Was the Reno speech running out the clock? Is the aggressive advertising running out the clock? Is the nationwide ground game running out the clock?

Indeed, is "declining to respond to recurring controversies even at the risk of seeming unresponsive" running out the clock? I don't think so. I think it's choosing to play offense rather than defense, and I think it's smart.
