Romney complains about illegal, prank ND calls (Romney Campaign Says McCain Dirty Tricks)

Republican Mitt Romney's presidential campaign says it has not been making illegal "robo-calls" to North Dakotans and says some pranksters are trying to pass themselves off as Romney supporters.

Two attorneys in Romney's campaign have sent a letter to Attorney General Wayne Stenehjem, asking him to investigate the calls. Stenehjem said Sunday his office would check out the complaint.

The letter, quoting what it said were reports from Romney supporters, linked some of the calls to a volunteer call center in Michigan that it said had done work for John McCain, the front-runner for the Republican presidential nomination.

Not surprising, we all know how much of a schister McInsane is. He's been pulling this BS for weeks, time to hand his head back to him on Tuesday. I want to see his head explode when Mitt wins CA.

This is horrible and I am not surprised either. McCain is a low life.

The last time the Romney campaign demanded anti-Mitt calls be investigated, they turned out to be coming FROM the Romney campaign.

It's ironic that Juan is using the very same tactics that Jorge used to deepsix him in 2000.

This is a serious question. Could you explain that picture to me? I’ve seen it posted often, and usually by people who don’t like Mitt, but I don’t get it. I presume there must be some message involved, maybe you all like Coke and there’s a Pepsi sign or something, but I’m sure you can explain it to me.
