It looks like every republican candidate will need to use the birther crap to get their nomination.

Trump's blitz and his rise in the polls, Huckabee and his claim that Obama was raised in Kenya, Gingrich's same claim and the use of it by Bachmann and Palin make it one of the republican main issues. When they get to the debates, it will be brought up and they all have to make the same claim to keep the base. They will have to be loud and clear for the teabaggers.

1. If so, I say GO GO GO!

It has been debunked about 213,492 times and very few people actually believe it. Or won't admit they believe it. Either way, I still say go for the birther angle. Two simple words if they do; We win.

2. I saw a poll that said most republicans believe it. It's a winner for their nomination.

3. That's a good thing

Make 'em have to appease the fringe in 2011 and next winter and then the nominee will have to make pathetic attempts to walk it all back during the summer and fall of 2012.
