The state headquarters of Barack Obama’s campaign sent out a list Thursday of nearly 50 Virginians, including three from Lynchburg, who it said were Republi-cans supporting the Democratic presidential candidate.
The Obama staffers failed to check closely enough with Steve Bozeman, whose name was on the list. Bozeman said he plans to vote for John McCain, Obama’s Republican opponent.
“No one got my permission” to list his name among Obama supporters, said Bozeman, a retired Marine and Vietnam veteran who led the Pledge of Allegiance at Obama’s Lynchburg rally Aug. 20.
“I was honored to do that,” Bozeman said. “Unfortunately, my allegiance and vote are going to go for McCain.”
Clark Stevens, communications director for Obama’s Virginia campaign, acknowledged a miscommunication had occurred about Bozeman’s support.
Other Lynchburg residents named in a news release, which listed members of the “Republicans for Obama Grassroots Leadership Committee,” were James Ackley and Sanford R. Wilson.
Ackley, a teacher at E.C. Glass High School, said the list didn’t portray him exactly right, either.
“I’m not a Republican, and I am voting for Obama,” Ackley said.

The Obama people are so desperate they are willing to commit fraud. Even a Vet who risked his life for America is not safe from being enthusiastically misrepresented for Obama's political gain.
Barry couldn’t help it. He was up all night waiting for that 3 AM phone call.
“”“No one got my permission” to list his name among Obama supporters, said Bozeman, a retired Marine and Vietnam veteran who led the Pledge of Allegiance at Obama’s Lynchburg rally Aug. 20.
“I was honored to do that,” Bozeman said. “Unfortunately, my allegiance and vote are going to go for McCain.”””
Another “new” voter registered by ACORN? I suspect this guy will vote twice and never even know it.
The loonies in the liberal media also reported that Governor Palin’s mother in law, Fay Palin, was going to vote for Obammie. Fay Palin denies this report. Unfortunately, that doesn’t mean anything to the media.
Alot more Democrats are going to be voting for McCain!
“Alot more Democrats are going to be voting for McCain!”
Yeah, and Obama can’t stand it. That’s why they put this list out without making sure it was correct!
There’s no way he can compete with the PUMAs that are going to vote McCain/Palin, ha ha.
No surprise here. Such mistakes happen in every election cycle.
And if it is gross negligence then that is looking extremely bad for Obama as well because he just recently claimed his campaign provides him with executive experience to be President. Is that claim made every election cycle?
I think after hearing Gov. Palin rack him; he had his head under water because he didn’t feel like walking on it.
No mention made of the 1000’s and 1000’s of disgruntled Hillary voters who are now in the Palin camp and will vote for the McCain/Palin ticket.
Did the list include names such as I.P. Freely, Frank Furter, and Heywood Jablome, by any chance?
(I mention the last one, though uncouth, because it actually made its way into a news story once)
