I agree with this as well. Bringing in Palin's party affiliation back in the early 90s means you need to also bring back in the Plagiarism charges against Biden and knock Obama for not vetting him well enough. Like with the Biden issue, none of this independent info is new (she dealt with it when she ran for Gov). Do those of you knocking McCain's choice for Palin because of this independent party issue knock Obama in the same manner for Biden's Plagiarism scandal when he was younger?
The only difference I could see between the Obama situation and the ones for Biden/Palin is that Obama was still a member of the church when he started his campaign. In the Palin/Biden situations, both had moved past these issues years ago. Still, I agree that the Wright issue isn't anything that would worry me personally about Obama - I think he's handled it the best he could and showed that Wright's views do not reflect his current views.
But, if I were a republican strategist, I would welcome debates on prior affiliations between the two tickets. IMO, Palin's association with a moonbat independent party in the early 90s pales in comparison to the Rezko/Wright/Ayers affiliations just a few years back (or even more recent) with Obama.
