STUCK ON CRAZY:

Ganley Won’t Say Whether He Thinks Obama Is Muslim (Matthew Murray, 8/19/10, Roll Call)

Cleveland-area Republican House candidate Tom Ganley declined to indicate Thursday whether he thinks President Barack Obama is Muslim.

“I don’t have a position on whether he’s a Muslim,” Ganley said Thursday in a telephone interview with Roll Call.

The wealthy car dealer’s comments came just hours after the Pew Research Center released a poll suggesting that “nearly one-in-five Americans” think Obama is Muslim. The new 18 percent figure is a dramatic upswing from March 2009, when a similar survey put that figure at 11 percent. The study also showed that 43 percent do not “know what Obama’s religion is.”
