No matter who you support this type of shit needs to be condemned by all sides:

Obama campaign alleges last-minute negative robo-calls in Nevada
Posted: 04:35 PM ET

(CNN) — The Obama campaign released a recording Saturday that they said was a last-minute negative robo-call received by a Nevada voter.

The call attacks the Illinois senator and emphasizes his little-used middle name, repeatedly referring to “Barack Hussein Obama.” The Obama campaign posted an mp3 of the call on the Internet. (outside link)

"I'm calling with some important information about Barack Hussein Obama," says the anonymous caller. "Barack Hussein Obama says he doesn't take money from Washington lobbyists or special interest groups, but the record is clear that he does."

The male voice concludes: "You just can't take a chance on Barack Hussein Obama."

6. TPM said it sounded like someone reading a script, not a robocall
So that leads me to think it had to be a union.

13. Probabally an Obama supporter, calling another Obama supporter
who recorded it then sent it to the media.

Recount! Recount! The Sky is falling! The Sky is falling! Recount! Recount!

9. Whatever your opinion of what was being said, at least
everyone knows who said it and evryone knows about it. That's still a step up from a bunch of last-minute anonymous phone calls.

11. LOL ... More, "the sky is falling" from the Obama camp
Do we really need a president that can't take it on the chin without running, crying, to mommy?

Waaaaaa! I didn't win, waaaaaaa, they cheated, waaaaaaaaa, make them stop!

Good lord, this is going to be a long year.
