John McCain's campaign has its "Palin Truth Squad" to defend his running mate Sarah Palin.
Now, Democratic rival Barack Obama's campaign has its "Alaska Mythbusters" to go after Palin's record as mayor of Wasilla and governor of the state.
According to the Obama campaign's announcement today, the group of Alaskans "will set the record straight about whether Palin has what it takes to bring the change that’s needed in Washington, D.C."
Their first foray will be a conference call with reporters today, and the group is led by former Alaska Governor Tony Knowles and Mayor Bob Weinstein of Ketchikan, home to the infamous Bridge to Nowhere.
