It clearly says that more than half -- 58% to be exact -- of Southerners either are positive or are unsure that Barack Obama is the legitimate President of the United States. Since, as Andrew correctly points out, that the Republican Party is nearly all Southerners at this point, can we extend this willful idiocy in the South to the whole party in General? Well, perhaps not when you look at the overwhelming certainty about Obama's US citizenship in all other parts of the country. But it's no wonder that this story won't die on the Republican side.
