PITTSBURGH (AP) - A campaign volunteer for John McCain has told
Pittsburgh police she was robbed at knifepoint at an ATM.
The woman says she was knocked down by a man who then carved a
"B" in her face after noticing a sticker for McCain on her car.
Police say the 20-year-old Texas woman refused medical
attention. They also say it's unclear what the "B" was meant to
symbolize.
The McCain campaign says the Republican candidate and his
running mate, Sarah Palin, called Ashley Todd on Thursday afternoon
to express their concern.
And a spokeswoman for Barack Obama's campaign, said their
"thoughts and prayers are with the young woman" and that they
hope the attacker is "swiftly apprehended and brought to
justice."

I’m not a detective or anything but could the “B” possibly stand for Barack?

I mean…it seems like a no-brainer.
