Death threats, bullying, aggression. Is this the "Change" we are expected to believe in?????

Clinton, Obama camps see voting problems (Ohio Primary 2008)

The campaigns of Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama are complaining about problems at the polls in Ohio.
Clinton's camp said it has received “troubling reports of irregularities and inappropriate behavior by Sen. Obama’s campaign across the state,” including a certified Obama poll watcher being removed by the presiding judge in an Akron precinct for “aggressively challenging voters.”
There also were reports in Cincinnati of Obama poll watchers being reprimanded after wearing campaign paraphernalia into polling places, a violation of election law, Clinton state director Robby Mook said in a news release.

MSNBC also quoted Brian Williams, director of the Summit County Board of Elections, as calling the Clinton campaign's depiction of what happened "an overstatement," saying he "would not characterize that as aggressively challenging voters.”

I don't know, but he was let back in.

But the Obama campaign disputed the Clinton camp's characterization of what happened in Akron, saying that after a poll worker was informed of the rules for observers, the Obama volunteer was allowed to perform his duties.

Sorry but how is Obama specifically involved in this incident?

I guess Ron Paul's supporters have decided to gravitate their insanity towards Obama.

The Clinton machine will stop at nothing to sustain power.

It is scorched earth politics from this point on.

We had a problem with aggressive Obama supporters at our precinct in Texas, too. I wrote a bit about it on the Texas thread. One guy was out of control and another very large broad was taunting Hillary supporters when we separated into groups.

No class, no manners, they were thugs.
