"It doesn't strike me as beyond the realm of possibility" sounds to me like "there might be a 1 in 1000 chance."

Not necessarily. We simply don't know what probability number was in Cuccinelli's mind at the time he made the remark in the video. What we can say is that he changed his tune from that remark to when he now states, "I absolutely believe President Obama was born in the United States." Did some "Godfather" make Cuccinelli an offer he can't refuse?

I absolutely believe a lot of things that could theoretically be wrong. Belief is always based on the best evidence available, and it would be foolish to think that you have all the evidence that could ever exist.

So you can’t say that he changed his tune. “I absolutely believe” does not contradict “it doesn’t strike me as beyond the realm of possibility”.

I absolutely believe we are the only life in this universe, but it doesn’t strike me as beyond the realm of possibility that there could be life on other planets — I simply don’t believe there is.

Ken is a great legal mind, and loves to answer legal questions legally.
