The Democratic National Committee launched a new Web site Monday promising to be an online clearinghouse for opposition research on John McCain.
"McCainPedia" compiles DNC research on the presumptive Republican nominee under topics like "Economy," "Ethics" and "Security" and targets McCain's "empty rhetoric" on Iraq as well as his role in the Keating Five scandal of the early 1990s. Users are also invited to access DNC video from both YouTube and FlipperTV, the Democratic Party’s archive of campaign tracking video.
In launching the site, the DNC claims that anyone can research and share the material. Unlike Wikipedia, on which the site is modeled, edits can be made only by DNC staff — not members of the public.
“This allows us to fully validate all of the information that appears, ensuring accuracy and reliability,” the “About” section of the site says. Instead, the site is “run by the DNC’s Research, Communications, and Internet teams.”
DNC Chair Howard Dean said McCainpedia would empower "millions of people to review McCain's inconsistencies and make up their own minds" about the senator's record.

When the RNC retaliates, and they will, with a website that raises ALLLLL the Obama issues, from Rezko to Farrakhan to The Wrong Reverend Wright to Ayers, The Mad Bomber, to his wife not being proud of her country till now, to his “typical white woman” remark, to his terrorist appeasement, wait for the howls of anger and indignation ..
It's against the law.
/sarcasm/
Sounds like a great idea.
It will be nothing but misinformation.
Can’t wait for the dims and drivebys to start up more Rathergates.
Don’t count out the Hildebeast -she has thrown her whole being into becoming POTUS.The Clintons excel at opposition research - it ain’t over by a long shot.
Barak Hussein Obama ...end of article, :-)
It’ll quietly disappear once they realize he’s one of Them.
Anyone to launch the new sites “ObamaPinata.com”?
Whack him a bit, maybe some candy will come out.
Uh...those things you listed make the Democrats like him even more.
When they uncover his secret conservatism, let me know.. Obama will be done.
LOL. Excellent.
“When the RNC retaliates, and they will”
The hell they will. McGore would never allow it.
