Subject: Oppo Research On Obama

Folks,

 

The attached link goes to a story on TPM Muckraker that says that conservatives are gearing up a major oppo research project on Obama.

 

We should prepare for this information being used to tie Obama to the bogus voter fraud charges leveled against PV and ACORN from the last two election cycles. It may or may not gain traction, it may or may not be chosen as a way of attacking him, but I think we cannot afford to ignore the possibility and plan what our response(s) might be (if any). 

 

Understand I’m not suggesting that we gear up to defend a candidate’s campaign, but prepare for the scrutiny and possible ancillary attacks that will come our way because of this.
