A headline straight outta The Onion, right?

Nope.  It's for real.

Obama Costs Nader the Election

By Bob Maschi

Election results are in and they clearly indicate that Democrat Barack Obama has cost Peace and Freedom’s candidate, Ralph Nader, the presidency. Simple math proves that had Obama not run, and had all of his support gone to Nader, that Nader would have easily won the majority of Electoral College votes and, therefore, the presidency.

A similar electoral flaw occurred in the 2000 presidential election when Al Gore cost Ralph Nader the presidency.

Obama campaign workers say wages unpaid

INDIANAPOLIS (WLS) -- Hundreds of Obama campaign workers in Indiana are upset over unpaid wages.

Several hundred angry people protested outside an Obama campaign office in Indianapolis claiming they are still waiting to get the full pay that's due to them.

An Obama campaign spokesperson confirmed 375 workers were signed up to do last minute canvassing before Election Day.

Three hours of campaigning got workers a $30 Visa card. Some workers say their pay came up short or not all.

I wonder who bought the Visa cards and from which bank?
