Did her belonging to the AIP make it to MSM or only to blogs? I don't actually recall. I do find one source that says that is was _officials_ of the AIP who said she was a member, so the story clearly isn't entirely nonsense. Even if she wasn't registered in the party, she has been involved with them (including attending two conventions and recording a message for one as governor).


>As to Obama we briefly had the Ayers and Wright stories but, incredibly, there stories were given short shrift. The media absolutely refuses to dig very deeply into Obama and, boy oh boy, it seems that guy has a lot that should be looked at carefully - perhaps a *lot* more carefully than Sarah Palin's 6 years in college or her hairstyle.

You keep saying there's stuff to look at, but you don't give a clue what it would be. He's been in the national public eye for 4 years, and fairly visible in Illinois for a decade before that. Given how much passion he arouses (on both sides), don't you think that if there were something there, someone (MSM, right-wing bloggers, National Enquirer, ...) would have come up with some credible information by now? Instead, it's all hints and insinuations and guilt by association.
