A weekend in Nebraska isn't everyone's idea of fun, but hundreds of college students are disappointed they won't be able to campaign for Barack Obama there or in other swing states after a mysterious donor backed out.
Students from around the country, including a large contingent from UC Berkeley, had planned to spend the weekend before Election Day fanning out to places such as North Carolina, Georgia and other battleground states. And much of the financial burden was to be borne by an American in Italy known as David Gall.
But, as of last weekend, Gall is gone, too badly injured in a car accident to help out, he told organizers.
"He is bad with concussion and many broke things," read an e-mail sent, supposedly, by an Italian friend of Gall's. "I am very sad."
Gall himself did not respond to e-mails requesting comment.
Some aren't buying his story, though.
"The timing is just so suspicious," said Dan Schneider, a Pleasanton resident who goes by the online name "Delegate Dan," a reference to his participation at this year's Democratic convention in Denver. Gall's sudden departure was particularly disappointing to Schneider, who spent weeks planning the campaign blitz.

LOL! Oh well. Driving in Italy can be dangerous if you are not Italian. Italians know two speeds flat out and stop. Get well commie donor.
David Gall’s power animal is the Eurasian Three-toed Woodpecker.

Oh, for pity’s sake...suspicious timing? If this reporter had ever been in Italy, he’d know it’s a miracle there aren’t more car accidents.
He’s broke.
Yeah...and if the guy in front goes through a red light....you can too.
These spoiled bastards never heard of Greyhound?
“Yeah...and if the guy in front goes through a red light....you can too.”
That sounds like Wisconsin.
The game of follow the money stopped the flight of fancy from occuring.
We just spent our last 5 million on TV Spot. Sorry!
Gall must be stoned.
Who is David Gall?
I think that’s from Ayn Rand.
Hmmm.
Gall Stone haha.
I'm certain David Gall if he even exists was donating his own money. /sarc
Proves their commitment, doesn't it? Why don't they campaign on their own dime? No, they'll go as long as some rich guy finances their weekend Woodstock II?
I wonder if any of them bothered to send Mr. Gall a get well card. Somehow I seriously doubt it.
$150M raked in September alone, and the 0 can’t afford to pay for their trip? WHERE are his $$$ ?
Come on, some people on our side are waiting for the API Tapes “to be released at any moment”.
These Obamabots were probably just going to take the flight and go party, not work.
See, that’s the problem with the leftist yutes — commitment levels are quite low. And as the culture becomes more immersed in XBoxes and iPods, and instant gratification — the youth votes gets MORE unreliable every 4 years, not more.
David Gall realized Bambi was a commie and pulled the plug on the deal
