"Birther" Scorecard

[cbdo2007]

"Birther" Scorecard:

67% of Republicans don't believe President Obama was born in Hawaii.

50% of Independents don't believe President Obama was born in Hawaii.

10% of Democrats don't believe President Obama was born in Hawaii.

Republican leadership and possible 2012 Presidential prospects:
John Boehner, Eric Cantor, Mitt Romney, Rick Santorum, Haley Barbour, Tim Pawlenty, Michele Bachmann, Sarah Palin, and Mike Huckabee all believe President Obama was born in Hawaii.

so why is there still any question?? (Trump, Beck, Limbaugh, O'Reilly, Hannity??)

"There are high- profile people, including Donald Trump and many others in the conservative media, who advocate and validate this point of view each and every day," Garin said. The big question about the birthplace issue, he said, "is the extent to which it drives a wedge within the Republican Party" and turns off independents in November 2012.

That's the key here. This is driving the Repubes crazy and is splitting the leadership from the voters.
