Comments on: What does YOUR candidate think about science? http://blogs.discovermagazine.com/badastronomy/2008/10/06/what-does-your-candidate-think-about-science/ I am an astronomer, writer, and skeptic. I likes reality the way it is, and I aims to keep it that way. My real name is Phil Plait, and I run the Bad Astronomy blog.

The Spin Doctors even tried using that "Not a Natural Born Citizen" crap on McCain last summer. He was born on a US military base in the Panama Canal Zone. It didn't work then, and it won't work now. The only people who buy in to that crap from either party are the nutters who had their minds made up before they even hear the issues. You know them. The same nutters that buy into the Obama is a Muslim rumor or the Palin Incest rumor. Face it; they're all liars from both parties. I'll follow the issues and make up my mind based on candidate performance and let the rumor mongers stew in their own crap. @ Gary Ansorge: Old news.

Took all of 30 secs. on the web to find Baracks birth certificate. He was 1) born of a US citizen (His Mom) and 2) born on US soil (HAwaii) ,,,either of which fulfills Constitutional requirements for a citizen to be Pres. I predict the Right wing will put out every lie they can think of between now and Nov 4th.
