Smoking Gun?

The search for smoking guns in the background of Barack continues to excite the nation. Is Barack's refusal to release his birth certificate, for several months now, such a smoking gun? If not, why the reluctance to bring it forward.

Possibilities abound on the blogosphere:

• he wasn't actually born in the U.S.
• he was legally named Barry and Barack is a self-adopted change
• the marriage status of his parents is revealed (his father was not divorced from his wife in Kenya)
• perhaps there was a line for religion and it says Muslim. Not a big deal on the surface, but given all the questions about Barack's past, not the sort of thing the campaign would like to focus on, certainly not before securing the nomination.
