A lot of Democrats *are* so-called "truthers", but you're right, I can't think of any big-name Democrats who have actively *pandered* to that contingency. Then again, I can't think of any big-name Republicans that have pandered to truthers, either; even Donald Trump is threatening to run as an independent, rather than as a Republican, isn't he? -- dadl-ot mailing list http://mail.thehood.us/mailman/listinfo/dadl-ot_thehood.us http://news.gmane.org/gmane.music.dadl.ot
