And if there were a problem, dontcha think the Republicans would have been all over it already?
I realize that your question is rhetorical, but... I do not know that, if there was a valid issue regarding Obama's U.S. citizenship, the Repuiblican Party would choose to make that a focal point of their 2008 Presidential campaign.
Perhaps the issue was valid, but for some reason unknown to myself, the Republican Party chose not to pursue it -- much like the Republican Party refused to pursue the more obvious association issues of Tony Rezco and Rev. Wright, abd yet chose to pursue lines of attack that were weak and tenuous at best, such as the Bill Ayers association.
Barack Obama has a track record of broken promises and going back on his word during his short tenure as a United States Senator. And yet, this line of attack seemed diluted, diminished and pushed far into the background during the Presidential Campaign. Attacking Barack Obama's credibility by using his own record against him would have effectively crippled his campaign; after all, he promises much, but what if he doesn't come through with his promises? What if his promises for hope and change are merely (more) lies?
I'm not attacking Barack Obama here. I'm just saying that I think the Republican Party had a suspiciously poor strategy -- all in my own humble opinion, of course.
I think the Republican Party did a remarkably poor job with McCain's campaign. Perhaps that was their way of punishing McCain (and Palin) for going against the Republican Party in the past and threatening to expose the corruption in Washington if elected into office?
I'm no Washington insider so I don't know. I'm just speaking from my own point of view, and I'm merely asking questions.
