no matter how you slice it the birth certificate issue is a non-starter.

If you buy into the liberal media spin it is, but that's likely not the reality:

Not even 4 in 10 believe Obama birth story Magazine boasts 63% think president born somewhere in the states; June 29, 2010 8:17 pm Eastern

"Not even four in 10 people across America believe President Obama's narrative about being born in Hawaii, according to a new poll.

A new 60 Minutes–Vanity Fair poll shows that only 39 percent of respondents believe Obama was born in Hawaii as he wrote in his book.

The magazine boasted, "A whopping 63 percent – very nearly two-thirds of us – went out on a limb and stated for the record that we believe in the United States. It's enough to make you proud to be an American – or 63 percent proud, at any rate."..."

I am not, if you noticed, dealing with that issue. I am clearly stating that we should be asking the congressional cadidates about the issues they WILL BE VOTING on.

Will they vote to make the Bush tax cuts permanent?
Will they reduce the national DEBT?
Will they reduce the national deficit?
Will they eliminate obamacare?

This is clearly where public opinion falls. However, many of those who don't buy the Hawaii narrative simply don't care.

They do care deeply about unemployment and taxes and corruption and bailouts.

I'll guess if these same people were polled and asked if they would vote for a candidate whose first priority was jobs and tax relief, or a candidate whose first priority was exposing Obama that 9 times out of 10 they would vote for the former.
