IIRC, Monica's blue dress came to light through the work of a Special Investigator and a Grand Jury or two (an actual Grand Jury, not a bunch of folks in their basement calling themselves a grand jury). It's been a while so the details are hazy.
In any case... There was actual evidence to merit investigation. The birthers have none of this. Just wilder and wilder conspiracy theories as nothing ever pans out. Just like the 9/11 truthers.
By the way, the follow up efforts by Pen Johannson are described in a reply to a comment on his webblog:

voter,
To start with, we are in the process of requesting access to five different sets of records.
1. The written notification sent to Schatz by Cronin per HRS 11-113(d)
2. The posting of a notification of a private hearing
3. An hour by hour account of Obama’s time in Hawaii from someone among the media entourage or local media sources covering Oct. 23rd from 6:00 pm to October 24th at 5:00 p.m.
4. The written response by Obama to the challenge to his eligibility per HRS 11-113(e)
5. The written findings of the CEO after Obama successfully lobbied for his approval to be on the Hawaii ballot.

Interesting to see whether he gets proper responses to his request or not.
