As far as a desperate attempt to sway the vote, but perhaps I am wrong.
To me, if it were to happen for political reasons, it would have happened already, to allow time to pump up the armchair warriors who tend to get excited about such things.
Now, I am certainly not saying the fools we have in charge aren't crazy enough to do it, I just don't think it will be for purely political gains (just batshit insanity).
