But here is the most important thing and you need to accept it: the American people have already made the issue moot

Yet it's front page news and you're here talking about it.

Fair enough. But my purpose in weighing in is to warn against an undue reliance by conservatives on the birth certificate issue, even when legitimate questions may be said to exist. If Barack Obama and the Democrats are to be be defeated, it will be on the merits of our arguments versus theirs. We cannot beat them if they are making their arguments and we are talking about old Hawaiian documents. In that case, the American people will tune them in, and us out.

That might not be quite fair, given the lengths to which Obama has gone to hide his past, but it is political reality. Moreover, I would argue that the better case we make for a return to Constitutional governance and market-based solutions, the more skeptical the public will become about both Obama's policies and his mysterious history.
