I find the mainstream media's frenetic investigations of Palin to be hypocritical. We've learned more about her in just a few days than we've learned about Obama in nearly 18 months. Does the lack of investigative reporting on Obama's background correlate to the media's unwillingness to unmask their candidate? Here are some examples of vetting yet to be done on Obama: (1) his personal and CAC relationships with his "neighbor" Bill Ayers; (2) details on the purchase of his home with the help of Tony Rezko; (3) obtaining state earmarks for Rezko and other slum landlords; (4) accusations of funneling campaign monies through ACORN; (5) Illinois legislative bills now attributed to him but on which he never worked; (6) what he's actually accomplished in his first U.S. Senate term given that he's spent most of the time campaigning.
By the way, Palin's affiliation with the secessionist party has been disproved. And her husband had a DUI how many years ago? If the MSM can give Obama a pass on his drug use, they can certainly give Todd Palin the same dispensation.
