Unsurprisingly, Democrats have instantly adopted what they used to condemn as "Karl Rove tactics" as soon as they found out who John McCain's piclk for VP candidate was. The first lawyers and investigators landed in Alaska less than a day after he made his announcement.
I guess such tactics become OK if Democrats use them.
They're going to need them. Every attempt they have made to destroy Palin so far, has hit a brick wall. From criticizing her for giving birth to a baby with Downs syndrome, to pretending she banned books from a local library, to pretending she doesn't have enough experience when she has more that their own PRESIDENTIQAL candidates, the Dems have been running around like chickens with their heads cut off, trying to find any excuse to smear her or destroy her somehow.
Dems, there's a reason Palin's popularity has soared despite all your attempts to tear her down. She's a REAL woman, so different from the ones you keep shoving at us.

The Hunt for Sarah October
City slickers invade Wasilla
by John Fund
September 9, 2008
Democrats understand Sarah Palin is a formidable political force who has upset the Obama victory plan. The latest Washington Post/ABC Poll shows John McCain taking a 12-point lead over Barack Obama among white women, a reversal of Mr. Obama's eight-point lead last month.
It's no surprise, then, that Democrats have airdropped a mini-army of 30 lawyers, investigators and opposition researchers into Anchorage, the state capital Juneau and Mrs. Palin's hometown of Wasilla to dig into her record and background. My sources report the first wave arrived in Anchorage less than 24 hours after John McCain selected her on August 29.
The main area of interest to the Democratic SWAT team is Mrs. Palin's dismissal in July of her public safety commissioner. Mrs. Palin says he was fired for cause. Her critics claim he was fired because he wouldn't bend to pressure to get rid of a state trooper, Mike Wooten, who had been involved in a bitter divorce battle with Mrs. Palin's sister. Mr. Wooten is certainly a colorful character. He served a five-day suspension after the Palin family filed a complaint against him alleging he had threatened Mrs. Palin's father. They also accused him of using a Taser on his 10-year-old stepson, drinking in his patrol car and illegally shooting a moose.
Mrs. Palin will return to Alaska for the first time in nearly two weeks on Wednesday night, when she is scheduled to arrive in Fairbanks. Local Republicans will hold a "Welcome Home" rally for her. You can bet some of the Democratic opposition research contingent will be in the audience taking notes. They'll be the ones arriving in rental cars and wearing fancy dress shoes from back east.
