The question of whether President Barack Obama was born on U.S. soil will have zero impact on the 2012 campaign but could significantly damage Republicans’ prospects for retaking the White House if it lingers. That was the consensus analysis of more than a dozen experienced GOP political strategists, consultants and operatives who were interviewed Wednesday within an hour of Obama going on national television to publicly release the long-form version of his birth certificate...

...But they worry that any attention given to the birth certificate issue could paint the Republican Party as out of touch and extreme, making it anathema to independents and swing voters while protecting Obama from the glare of what they view as troubling economic indicators that should sink his re-election bid.

A fringe minority on the far right of the political spectrum has questioned whether Obama, whose father was a native of Kenya, was born in Hawaii. This small group, many of whom also questioned Obama’s religion, has continued to believe that the president is foreign-born.

pure and utter bovine scat.
we need a new political party.
the rinos are stupid.
That’s the problem with the Republican party.Most members of it are afraid of their own shadow.Cowards.
These guys are afraid of their own shadows.
The truth is that Present Stroker AND the GOP should be afraid of the American Taxpayer.
VERY AFRAID!!
Gimme the real deal. Give me Tea-Party type, true conservatives that aren't afraid of anything or anyone and are bold as a lion. That's what our country needs
(1) Obamacare repeal
(2) Corn ethanol subsidy
(3) Eligibility
The issue never was where he was born, it was always to whom he was born. It is the "natural born" issue that matters. The press and "representatives" in both parties are very reluctant to face the actual issue.
These are the same GOP strategists who cry when the dimrats call them names.
Sounds like noisy status quo rinos, just clamoring to get on the endangered species list.
Zero impact that could significantly damage? Wtf?
This article is hedged bull crap. Keep going, GOP: Obama is a walking punch line.
I don’t know what they’re so afraid of. None of the establishment republicans can be linked to the BC issue. They were all too busy cowering in the corner going along to get along..... as usual. If they don’t step out of the box and fight this election, they will be losers. Barry has a billion dollars and the MSM cheerleaders in his pocket.
GOP strategists fear EVERYTHING.
These are nothing more than whining, cringing curs with the tail stuck between the legs.
Based on a propaganda article from David Drucker? Buck up, Bongo
of course they do, the little bed-wetting girlie-men...
The RINOS are worried? shucks.
Whenever any public figure tries to hide something that public figure always looks bad --- unless his alleged opponents start defending him.
And if anybody really wants to try make "birtherism" a GOP anchor, it's pretty easy to point out that the first birther was a prominent Pennsylvania Democrat.
GOP strategists are afraid of everything. Winners have no fear. The GOP needs to have a spirit of boldness not of fear. Take it to the enemy. Drop the lies back into their lap. Evil only wins when good people do nothing. Come on, GOP. GROW A BACK BONE!
