Ignoring Palin's video message, CBS reporter claimed McCain campaign "prove(d)" Palin has "no connection" to Alaskan Independence Party

Summary: CBS' Nancy Cordes reported: "Today, the McCain campaign released her voter registration records to prove Palin is a lifelong Republican with no connection to the (Alaskan) Independence Party." But Cordes did not note that Palin addressed the AIP's 2008 state convention in a video message in which she said the group "plays an important role in our state's politics," that she reportedly addressed the party's convention with a video message in 2006, that the McCain campaign has acknowledged that Palin "visited" the AIP's 2000 convention, or that her husband reportedly was a registered member of the party.

To think about as to the AIP, one of their stated goals is to infiltrate legitimate political parties with AIP members.
