According to Del Ali of Research 2000, if you excluded those people from the poll�if you look only at white voters in the South�the number of people who doubt Obama�s citizenship is  higher than the 47 percent figure that has grabbed headlines today. "There was no deviation in the number of black, Hispanic, and other voters from one region of the country to another," Ali told TWI. In the South, like everywhere else, the vast majority of non-white voters said that Obama was born in the United States; 97 percent of black voters, 87 percent of Hispanic voters, and 88 percent of other minorities. The extremely low overall percentage? That�s due to white Southerners, who dragged down the average with an extremely high level of doubt about Obama.

So what proportion of Southern whites doubt that Obama is an American citizen? While Ali did not release the racial breakdowns for the the South, and cautioned that the margin of error in the smaller sample of 720 people would be larger than the national margin of error (2 percent), the percent of white Southern voters may be higher than 70 percent. More than 30 percent of the people polled in the South were non-white, and very few of them told pollsters that they had questions about Obama�s citizenship. In order for white voters to drive the South�s "don�t know" number to 30 percent and it�s "born outside the United States" number to 23 percent, as many as three-quarters of Southern whites told pollsters that they didn�t know where Obama was born.

Obama’s election, far from alleviating paranoia in the white fringe, has only compounded it. There is no purer expression of this animus than to claim that Obama is literally not an American — or, as Sarah Palin would have it, not a “real American.” The birth-certificate canard is just the latest version of those campaign-year attempts to strip Obama of his American identity with faux controversies over flag pins, the Pledge of Allegiance and his middle name. Last summer, Cokie Roberts of ABC News even faulted him for taking a vacation in his home state of Hawaii, which she described as a “foreign, exotic place,” in contrast to her proposed choice of Myrtle Beach, S.C., in the real America of Dixie.

constitutional law is way over my head, but do you think Joe Biden would become president even on a fraudulent ticket?

This new copy states his birth was Aug. 5, 1961 a day later than the Hawaii copy.  this drama is so crazy.


and for the record i honestly do not want this path for our country. I'm ok with waiting until 2012 for Palin to kick his ass out!
