ABC News (warning: annoying auto-play video) reports:
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.
ABC adds that this sort of thing is typical, and the unusual thing is that the Democrats would be doing opposition research so early.
