Even if it's NOT proven, the water cooler buzz, and the fact that he has gone to court, rather than just showing the d@mn thing, that gives the story legs, and street cred.

Actually, the way to bust this open, and to guarantee the election for McCain, would be to have Sarah Palin on for 30 seconds *IMMEDIATELY* following the Obama 30-minute ad buy.

She would say this:

My fellow Americans, there has been controversy over the legal status of John McCain to serve as the next President, given the Constitutional requirements for citizenship.

John McCain has already supplied his.

No other candidate in this race has done so.

Therefore, I have this offer for Senator Barack Obama:

"I'll show you mine if you show me yours."

LANDSLIDE.

Cheers!

Very good point. The only way to end this is for McCain and/or Palin to go on TV and challenge Obama in an ad. To be honest McCain should probably have done that during the debates, but this will still work just as well. They should do what you say, and Obama will HAVE to provide the cert.

Going through the legal system at this stage, even if it was successful, would take too long. A simple 30 second ad, shown in major states of contention, would shove it right up the behind of the Dems.

Strangely though, I do not expect such an ad (even though this is real political dynamite). Maybe the politicians know something we don't, or they are just too darn lazy.
