The Economist blog Democracy in America writes on the birthers, Americans moderately amenable to reason "A Washington Post poll last week found the same thing: they had overall belief that Mr Obama was most likely born abroad falling from 20% a year ago to 10% now. Among Republicans, the Post's figures show a drop from 31% to 14%."
Really? One in three Republicans still don't believe it? Sigh.
"It might have been nice if the eyeball-minutes consumed in convincing Americans that Mr Obama really was born in America could instead have been devoted to convincing Americans of the inaccuracy of their beliefs on some more important question, such as global warming, inflation or the deficit. But I'm not sure that would have been possible."
