Running through the morning news pages, seeing if there was anything that happened in the 9 hours I slept (I'm addicted, I know) I saw a little piece on HuffPo that points out this:

The man Allen found who takes credit for the first posting of an article falsely asserting Obama is a Muslim is a man named Andy Martin.

More details below the fold...

I got off the phone talking with my mother in Georgia yesterday. She says, ya know Sherri, you need to look a little closer at Obama, my friend Jo told me he is a Muslim,

I immediately corrected her, but the damage was done. My denial didn't change her doubt.  Based on the Ohio exit polls, it sounds like this stuff may have played a part in last day voters minds.

I noticed Obama closed his speech with "God Bless America" last night.
A good start, but he's going to have to do more.

Some kind of "come to Jesus moment."

A strong speech on religion/ intolerance.
More symbolism in his ads, such as a sitting in church pix with family, or his hand on the Bible taking an oath pix.
