WASHINGTON, D.C. -- The oft-discussed 200-page opposition research book compiled by John McCain's presidential campaign in 2008 against fellow candidate Mitt Romney has made its way online, courtesy of BuzzFeed's Andrew Kaczynski.

The entire thing is worth a thorough read if only for an exploration of how little the current Republican field has scratched the surface with respect to Romney-related attacks.

The document also seriously undercuts McCain's current position –- as an endorser of Romney for president in 2012 –- that attacks on the former governor's Bain Capital days are anti-capitalism. There are 399 mentions of Bain in McCain's Mitt Romney oppo book.
