Although some on the right were disappointed that Romney did not pursue this, he was wise not to. This was not the right time. The right time is during a debate. At least one moderator will find Romney's bait irresistible, and I am guessing it will be CNN's Candy Crowley. What follows is a proposed strategy for the Hofstra University debate on October 16. My guess is that Romney has pretty much figured it out already, thus the remark in Michigan:
CC: Governor Romney, in Michigan you told a crowd of supporters, "No one has ever asked to see my birth certificate." Don't you believe that the birth certificate President Obama presented last year is valid?
MR: I have questions about its validity, but that is not why I raised the issue.
CC: Why did you, then? Weren't you afraid that some people, minorities and immigrants especially, will see that as a subtle attack on President Obama because of his race?
MR: Candy, not at all. No one ever asked to see Jesse Jackson's birth certificate when he ran for president or Al Sharpton's when he ran. And they are both black, both proud representatives of the president's party. I raised that issue because of the unique uncertainty surrounding Obama's early years. I know I was born and raised in Michigan. I said as much. I would ask you or the president himself to tell us where he spent the first year of his life.
CC: Mr. President?
BO: Um, um, I am not sure I understand why this question is relevant.
CC: Governor?
MR: It is relevant because President Obama built his 2008 campaign, indeed his very persona, around the fact that he was born into a happy multicultural home. . .

I stand corrected.
If we're so concerned with what a bunch of DUmmies and sundry other e-feet snobs will carry away from the boards at FR that French grammar and spelling nazi involvement is required however, well, then the terrorists have already One.
See you at the VFW. First round's on me. ;)
That provoked a boner fried LOL, FRiend. Thanks! :)
OK Big Boy, my offer to referee is still on, but if your opponent is not in your weight class, I must in all good conscience revoke the "No Biting Rule."
After all, we gotta give the little guys a fightin' chance! And we here at the VFW will give you more room by taking out a coupla tables. 50-50 on the tickets?
Poor little delicate thing has already backed out, as I was “threatening” him or some such.
The stone wall has been reached. In re the BC, It is now of course painfully obvious now that what BHO's attorney got from the HIDOH is not what he released on the WH website.
By sending an attorney to pick up the files, Team Obama does have some small claim to "attorney client privilege" in preventing the Hawaiians from releasing whatever it is they did give him ... so unless this gets to a court of some sort, we shall not be allowed to compare the two sets of data.
I am glad Mitt ain't asking my advice on this ... it is a red-hot "race-potato!" Could help him. Could hurt him. The real question: "Is this issue alive ... or dead?" At this point we are not going to know until after the election ...
If the wrong guy wins, we'll never know!
I am a Grammar and Speklling NAZI of the worst sort. But all such linguistic and philological NAZIs are not created equal. Think of me as the Sergeant Schultz of the Grammar and speling NAZIs.
However, none of the above disqualifies me as the referree in the upcoming wrasslin match at the Livermore Falls VFW. Bring the family!
Give 'im the chair!
