Authorities think the vandalism to about 60 vehicles, estimated at $10,000 in damage, was done Saturday afternoon, police spokeswoman Sgt. Barbara Jones said.
The vehicles were parked across from City Hall and investigators said culprits tagged messages including "Obama smokes crack" and a racial epithet.
They even left business cards on the vehicles that disparage both the Illinois senator and his rival, Republican John McCain. The cards voice support for Sen. Hillary Clinton, Obama's former opponent.
Mike Lowe, a videographer working for The Associated Press, first told police about the damage. He saw three cars with anti-Obama messages, while the others were just heavily painted.
Police also found that many of the vehicles had open gas tanks.
Clinton won the Florida Democratic primary, but the contest was held early in violation of party rules. Party leaders initially said the state's delegates would not be seated as punishment, then eventually agreed to seat half of them at the national convention.
Clinton's supporters wanted the state's delegation fully restored. Instead, the compromise pushed Obama toward the nomination.

Or maybe...the idiots who think nothing of harming and damaging others to show their ire, will be caught, jailed for a very long time and let other miscreants know that there are legal ways to show dissatisfaction and ways that will get you prison time. The more stuff HRC supporters do, the more it underlines to everyone else that she cannot be in charge--because wither she goest--her hoodlum and racist and anarchist supporters will follow.
After all the lies and cheats and cheating attempts of the HRC gang--Lord knows we don''t need a Democratic Gestapo in charge of this country. HRC supporters are not just showing their azzes--the smell coming from those bungholes will underline why HRC stinks and what kind of putrid people would come to power if she ever won. NO THANK YOU.

McVet and MCVET are 2 VERY DIFFERENT POSTERS.
McVet is a very pro Obama Democrat. MCVet is a racist and anti Obama somethingican.

Whoops sorry about that MCVet. :)
Typically, it''s the left wingnut groups that resort to defacing property, riots, and threats.
If you do not believe that, do your own research and educate yourself.
It is also of interest, speaking of the Nixon-era, that a young Karl Rove was actually questioned by the FBI in connection with Watergate. The more things change, the more they stay the same. Tons of Watergate criminals were still running around loose in the halls of power during the Reagan Administration, and I see a few are still lurking now.
What''s funny is how much McCain and the Republicans hate one another, especially considering the push-polling they did against him in the 2000 primary.
Ahh, history. Remember, the world didn''t begin the day you noticed it was there.
Interesting how what you choose to report says something, don''t you think?

You mean like when Hillary''s campaign hired the guy to hold up the IRON MY SHIRT t-shirt to get a sympathy vote for her in NH. Then she cried.
The Clintons are finally over. What a great day for America!!!

The Clinton''s are OVER???? ROFL! ROFL!
Then why is Obama''s asssss having to beg and pay for their support?
Reckon he can''t find enough rocks to find a vote under???
Hillary is not a candidate. All past Clinton supporters are now Obama supporters. People claiming otherwise are just Republican shills angry that the unity in the Democratic party is so solid and makes Sen. Obama unbeatable; they would love to sow any discord.
No Democrat or voter who cares about America would oppose Obama.
I agree, they''re not going away, but I don''t think Bill will be used that much. He may not be able to help doing something that hurts, but I don''t think he''ll intentionally do that. His ''brand'' went way down in value during the primaries, and he''s got to come back as a statesman. He needs to shine up his image again, and he can do that by campaigning well.
that would be Senator Barack Obama, easy choice.

WHERE IS THE TRUTH ABOUT OBAMA!!
