Heh, I was riding to a job site with a co-worker just now and he had Beck on the radio:
What a difference a week will do. Medina just did an interview on a Dallas talk radio station and said "all the right things" about truthers. As an aside, Beck asked her that question because he was being inundated with calls from people saying "I can't believe you would do what you did to Van Jones and then have the nerve to have a 9/11 truther on your show as a candidate!!!" As you may recall, Beck exposed Van Jones as a truther and he resigned (in part) because of it.
The point is that public sentiment against truthers seems to be a powerful force. Having the label would definitely be a negative in the campaign. He didn't know anything about her position on the issue and thought that by asking the question, it would settle the issue that she was not a truther. Again, if she'd have just said "No" last week - she could have spent this week focusing on why she is a better candidate rather than re-refining her answer to a seemingly simple question.
Regardless, she will probably still rise in the polls.
