http://news.yahoo.com/opposition-file-romney-hits-internet-likely-2008-mccain-094643763.htmlIf you think youve already heard everything there is to know about Mitt Romney, think again. A 200-page document that appears to be Sen. John McCains entire 2008 election-year opposition research file on the former Massachusetts governor hit the Internet with a vengeance Tuesday evening. And its an eye-opener.
The file explores everything from the assessed value of Romneys house ($3.162 million) to his views on the Boy Scouts ban of homosexuals (publicly opposed in 1994 and 2002 campaigns). It was made public Tuesday on the social media website Buzzfeed, although it appears to have been accessible online for two months.
The document, given the name The Romney Book, was viewed less than 100 times on the page where it was originally uploaded by its anonymous leaker on November 11.

This has been out there for a while http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2012/01/17/john-mccains-200-page-romney-research-book_n_1211965.html The material on Bain Capital is good and will be used by the Obama campaign. If Romney objects, then the Obama Campaign can simply cite the McCain campaign as a source of this material
