The Obamanators are going to wish they did not use French and Elton in the presser below (weeks before they had any idea that Sarah Palin would be the VP nominee), because now Hollis French and Kim Elton are inextricably tied to the Obama campaign as strong supporters and not merely as two Democrats among many.
Hollis French and Kim Elton did not merely pose for that photo, they are leading, trusted supporters of Obama who were quoted by the campaign in a major PR on Obama's "energy plan" -- so they are definitely very trusted Obamanators, or else the campaign never would have given them such prominence in an official press release.
This so-called "investigation" is clearly nothing but Obama hackery. These Moonbats must be stopped in their vicious tracks.

Obama campaign press release (July 30, 2008):
ALASKA ELECTED OFFICIALS RALLY BEHIND OBAMA’S ENERGY PLAN
Obama supports Alaska gas pipeline
JUNEAU, AK – Today in Juneau, state representatives and senators from across Alaska gathered to rally behind Barack Obama and discuss his plan to address record-high energy prices that are straining Alaskans budgets and hurting the Alaska economy.
“Senator Obama has a plan to end our dependence on foreign oil and reduce skyrocketing energy prices,” said Senator Hollis French of Anchorage, a former oil rig worker. “Having worked in the oil business in Alaska for twelve years, I know firsthand the importance of oil and natural gas to Alaska. Senator Obama will not only invest in renewable fuels and increase car fuel efficiency standards, he strongly supports construction of an Alaska natural gas pipeline and accelerated drilling in the Alaska National Petroleum Reserve which will provide affordable energy to Alaska and our country and good jobs for Alaskans.”
“Rural Alaskans have been especially hard-hit by skyrocketing energy prices and the faltering economy,” said Representative Mary Nelson of Bethel. “Barack Obama understands the energy challenges they face, and he will work as president to lower energy costs and get our economy back on track. Senator Obama will be a fighter for rural Alaska.”
“High gas and energy prices are squeezing Alaskans harder than anyone else in the US,” Senator Kim Elton of Juneau said. “We need a president who will work to make Alaska resources part of our country’s energy solution. Barack Obama has long been a supporter of Alaska energy priorities like the Alaska natural gas pipeline. He’ll work as president to invest in Alaska’s energy future and make Alaska part of the answer.”

ALASKA SENATOR FRENCH OUTLINES OBAMA PLAN TO LOWER ALASKA GAS PRICES
Alaska gas prices are the highest in the US
ANCHORAGE, AK – Today as the average price of a gallon of unleaded gas in Alaska reached $4.69, State Senator Hollis French discussed Senator Obama’s plan to help end America’s dependence on foreign oil and criticized the John McCain campaign’s latest misleading negative ad on gas prices.
“Senator Obama has a plan to end our dependence on foreign oil and reduce skyrocketing energy prices,” Sen. French said. “Having worked in the oil business in Alaska for twelve years, I know firsthand the importance of oil and natural gas to Alaska. Senator Obama will invest in renewable fuels, increase car fuel economy standards, and strongly supports the Alaska natural gas pipeline that’ll provide affordable energy to Alaska and our country.”
This week, the McCain campaign launched a negative ad running on national cable TV that tries to blame Obama for high gas prices.
“This ad’s claim is patently false,” French said. “John McCain himself has said that high gas prices are 30 years in the making. Senator McCain has spent 26 years in Washington, and has consistently opposed efforts to end our country’s dependence on foreign oil.”

Get this story out, and the independent vote will rise to 72 percent for McCain in a week. Public exposure of Obama's Slime-Troopers is the best advertisement for Reform/Prosperity/Peace there is.
I'm sure that James V. Grimaldi of the Washington Post is gonna be ALL OVER this story, just as soon as he gets done sniffing all the dirty underwear in Sarah Palin's laundry hamper...
Or not.
Excellent catch of two of Obama’s biggest Alaskan partisans.
What? You are questioning their integrity? Where is your faith in your fellow Marxist, comrade?
Be sure we will make note of your disloyalty when the new order comes to power and...well, not really. We’re too lazy. We will simply raise your taxes and blow it on stupid stuff.
