My belief is that the average voter would be less likely to vote for someone who hides his birth certificate than by listening to that radio recording. The average person would not even understand what is being said, I don’t believe, and would just push it in one ear and out the other. But hiding something as simple as a birth certificate....that would make them wonder...would make them pause.
you assume the average voter knows the constitution. The average voter (and we’re talking about someone who isn’t already in the mccain camp) thinks: “his mother is american, he lived in America, he’s an American Senator...what’s the big deal?”
