I am heartened to see that Daily Kos is polling on the Birther issue, and I hope that continues so we can have good tracking data over time. This will have historical significance throughout Obama's presidency and into his second term.
However, the birthers are fringe by any reasonable definition, whereas the "muslim smear" is far more insidious. I would like to make a meta-request of DKos to include questions about Obama's religious identity from now on. I think it is critically important that we ask this question, probably more important than the birther one.
I welcome suggestions from other group members as to what questions should be asked and how they should be phrased.
