The paper&#039;s (massive) archives are not online. And when he went to research past content, he was told he was the first to inquire.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&quot;No one else had requested access before,&quot; said the source. &quot;It&#039;s unbelievable. We were the only people to do that, which means the McCain camp didn&#039;t.&quot;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;br&gt;And:&lt;br&gt;&lt;i&gt;&lt;blockquote&gt;. . . the McCain campaign did not contact Public Safety Commissioner Walt Monegan, who Palin pushed to have fired after he refused to remove her sister&#039;s former husband from the state&#039;s police force. . . . &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;In addition, the former Republican House Speaker of Alaska, Gail Phillips, admitted to reporters that she was shocked by McCain&#039;s choice of Palin, as &quot;his advance team didn&#039;t come to Alaska to check her out.&quot;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Even McCain&#039;s own aides seemed unprepared by the choice. . . .

I truly have no indication whatsoever the extent of a relationship that exists with the Governor of Alaska.&quot;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;br&gt;This entire thing sickens me. I know, as a Democrat, I should be gleeful that this may doom the McCain campaign, but really, I am disgusted and offended that McCain would treat selecting a VP so lightly. He could drop dead at any moment, and we would have as our president someone who just this year didn&#039;t even know what a VP did, is under investigation for abuse of power, has no experience on national issues like the economy, healthcare, national security, or foreign policy, and has not been vetted in any sense of the word, either through a rigorous investigation or through 20 months of campaigning (like Barack). &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;This is awful. It&#039;s insulting that John McCain would be asking us to put the nation&#039;s future in the hands of this woman.</description> <content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a href=http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2008/08/31/mccain-camp-didnt-search_n_122823.html>McCain Camp Didn&#39;t Search Palin&#39;s Hometown Paper Archives</a><br />From the article:<br /><i><br /><blockquote>On Saturday, a Democrat tasked with opposition research contacted the Huffington Post with this piece of information: as of this weekend, the McCain campaign had not gone through old newspaper articles from the Valley Frontiersman, Palin&#39;s hometown newspaper.</p><p>How does he know?
