This is the response from the Dems in Az concerning SoS demanding Obama's Birth Certificate....

42. This is a very weak response, IMO

I was reading the emails on TPM's site and the Hawaii AG made the point about asking Bennett if (paraphrase) everyone on the list you are compiling is being treated to the same record's scrutiny.

That effectively required Bennett to do the same for both Romney, Obama and any other Presidential candidate on the ballot in AZ.

That's such an easy out for Bennett, to just ask the same thing of Romney's camp/state.

It allows them to claim the pseudo-high road while advancing all of the very xenophobia, racism and ignorance that is at the heart of the entire birther movement. Just doing it under the same false equivilancy that the media uses to protect the crap that the GOP has been doing for years now.

For the Dems here in Arizona to consider this their strong response, is very disappointing. It give Bennett his out, all the while letting him advance his intended cause.

They need to try to shame him such that he's toxic and never able to be a serious political figure in Arizona again. At least not so among independents and swing voters.
