...Montana TV ads appeared just two weeks ago. There appears to be some kind of rushed response to the tightening at the polls. The Montana state GOP challenged the registration of 6,000 voters in seven predominantly Democratic counties but drew a stern admonition from a federal judge. The Republican executive director lost his job shortly after...
This is the kind of issues the Obama campaign is concerned about. Just last Friday, an Indiana appeals court dismissed Republican efforts to invalidate thousands of votes cast at satellite voting stations here in Democratic-leaning Lake County, which is just outside Chicago. Republicans have 30 days from last Friday's ruling to appeal the ruling, possibly before Indiana's Supreme Court. Jonathan Swain, an Obama campaign spokesman in Indiana, said roughly 1,000 attorneys from across the region had volunteered to monitor the polls for voter intimidation tactics. - By Steve Gray / Gary...
...Minnesota: Everyone Vs. Bachmann, 10:00 a.m. E.T. There is an interesting twist in a House race here. After Republican incumbent Michele Bachmann said on MSNBC's Harball - after incessant prodding from Chris Mathews - she thought Obama "may have anti-American views," her Democratic opponent, Elwin Tinklenberg, saw more than $1 million in donations from across the nation in a week.

He rejuvenated his campaign to pull Republican votes from Bachmann because she "dishonored her office." Says...
Democrat or Republican, all were welcome to a cookie in the bright sunshine of a gorgeous autumn day. One man enjoying the festive atmosphere, Kasey Denbleyker, allowed that he reluctantly chose John McCain after much vascillation. "I barely voted for him," he said. For the most part, though, this normally quiet polling place was swamped with Obama supporters, black and white, young and old. A volunteer attorney for Obama was on hand in case of difficulties or irregularities, though everything seemed to be going smoothly. "I felt blessed and privileged," Denbleyker said. "There's no security, no machine guns...
...Late Stand, 10:30 a.m. E.T. Montana has only three electoral votes and has gone GOP in almost every presidential race for the past four decades. (LBJ won it in 1964; but Bill Clinton took it in 1992 only because Ross Perot chomped into what would have been the Republican vote for George H. W. Bush.) In 2008, however, the Obama campaign organized early for the Democratic primary there and has maintained its presence. Indeed, it has been running local TV spots continuously since June. While Barack Obama and his wife Michelle made several trips to the state this year...
