In light of what I posted above from the Texasdarlin website, I suspect that the whole BC fuss caught the Obama camp off-guard. Once their own "FightTheSmears" webmaster picked up the faked BC from DailyKos (seems too stupid a thing to do, but apparently that's what they did), then they froze and have not been able to decide what to do next. However, at this point they are playing wait-and-see, allowing right-bloggers and posters to speculate and go wild. The Obamanators now are actually hoping it moves up the media food chain enough that they can suddenly produce the real BC, attack and humiliate anyone who bought into believing that "Obama is ineligible" etc., and use the whole episode to try to discredit all questions about his background in advance.

"The bait is he is not a legitimate candidate. They could let the the conservatives run with this and then set the hook suddenly by providing the original birth certificate. This proof of the right being wrong would make a terrific slogan in some way to obviate any and all rumors.

A better tactic on our part would be to wonder, “why Obama and his supporters don’t put this rumor to rest...” Tacitly assuming his claims but questioning why he cannot easily and quickly answer evidence to the contrary would be a better tactic in IMHO."

That is just flat out nuts. The Obama campaign has certified to the world that the document being shown is a genuine copy. If it is not, there will be hell to pay and they will discredit only themselves big time. People GO TO JAIL for forging documents like birth certificates. Anyone who says they could just laugh this is delusional.
