DNC Requests Records Related to Palin, Romney, Seven Other Possible 2012 Contenders.

The Democratic National Committee formally has asked the Pentagon for reams of correspondence between military agencies and nine potential Republican presidential candidates, a clear indication that Democrats are building opposition-research files on specific 2012 contenders even before the midterm elections.

An internal Army e-mail obtained by ABC News indicates that the DNC has filed Freedom of Information Act requests for "any and all records of communication" between Army departments and agencies and each of the nine Republicans -- all of whom are widely mentioned as possible challengers to President Obama.

The agencies are asked to respond to the request by this Friday, just four days before Election Day...

I thought Dear Leader was unbeatable and they "hoped" that Governor Sarah Palin would run in 2012. Always look at what they do, not what they say....

[Don Corleone]

If their bloodless coup doesn’t succeed look for the other kind.

[LeonardFMason]

Achtung! Achtung! Obamanazi!

[SandRat]

Hope the Penagon tells the DNC to go pound sand.

[sodpoodle]

Would that include registration for military service?
Birth certificates?
Proof of US Citizenship?
Travel documents?
SS numbers?
Education certification and records?
Known associates?
Collaborating with terrorist organizations?

Can we file for the same on OBAMA?!

[ridesthemiles]

The DNC needs to Ask Hillary for the FBI records.

[Vigilanteman]

The nine Republicans that Democrats are seeking information on are former Gov. Sarah Palin, R-Alaska; former Gov. Mitt Romney, R-Mass.; Gov. Haley Barbour, R-Miss.; Gov. Tim Pawlenty, R-Minn.; former Gov. Mike Huckabee, R-Ark.; former House Speaker Newt Gingrich, R-Ga.; Sen. John Thune, R-S.D.; Gov. Mitch Daniels, R-Ind.; Gov. Bobby Jindal, R-La.

I'm mildly surprised that Juan McCain isn't on the list. I'd like to know why.

Ditto for Mike Pence.

Sounds like its time for conservatives in Congress to demand Obama’s records as well. ALL of them. (And yes that includes the bc).

[A CA Guy]

Worse than the supposed Nixon enemies list IMO.

[nhwingut]

They won’t find any military info on Romney or his five sons - that’s for sure.

[2ndDivisionVet]

Think about what you just said: Who is the Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces of the United States? Who is the most partisan president in our history?

Well you know, it’s he Pentagon. They’ve been known to displace entire countries before. Some correspondence? ‘ummm, we’ll have to get back to you on that’. :))

I'm mildly surprised that Juan McCain isn't on the list. I'd like to know why.

Because they figure he won't run, of course. And they've already got reams of data on him.

Likewise, they probably figure Pence won't run. Why waste money and effort on folks you won't have to face?

I know the turd will direct it, but there has to be someone with the Moxie to say; NO!!! Go Pound Sans!!

I guess their will be hearings in January in the House.

[truthandlife]

This is going to backfire on Obama in a big way. Obama will continue to talk about the Republicans as the enemy as Americans continue to struggle with getting work, paying their mortgages and just living.

The war of personal destruction will not be tolerated by the American people and will throw Obama out because of it.

I hope they keep it up.
