We've heard a rumor of a Wachovia mailer that threatens that, if Obama wins, the recipient's children's trust funds will go to zero in value. Does anyone have specifics or proof? Please let us know submissions@bachmanneffect.com
Hopefully we will have an update soon to confirm or deny this.
Update 1:
Here's a phone call to Wachovia, where they say that Robert D. Jenkins, a retirement planning counselor and the one responsible for sending out the email, is being "dealt with".
here's an article on topix about it...
the content of the email has been on snopes since june...
Our take on this, so far, is that, while this should NOT reflect on Wachovia, it does give you a glimpse into the mindset of at least one "rogue" McCain supporter.

Norm Coleman (R-MN) Targets Children with Rape & Playboy Cartoon Mailer
Another new category defined for this election season, disgusting!
AMERICAblog reader JW writes:
My wife and I have 3 small boys under 6 years old. So when I saw the cartoon cover that says "Come on in kids..." then talks about rape with a little girl on the opposite page you can guess my utter disgust.read original article...
...
Creating a children's book talking about rape, and then sending it to Minnesota's children, all on behalf of Norm Coleman. So much for Coleman claiming the negative advertising was going to stop.
It seems that every day a new low is defined. Please help us make him stop! Show Norm Coleman "The Bachmann Effect". Donate to Al Franken (D) today!

Bryan Rudnick Republican Political Consultant
McCain campaign stoops to its very lowest yet in bid to win Pennsylvania. Rudnick takes the fall, but ask yourself if you really believe their plausible deniability.
From an e-mail was sent Thursday morning to 75,000 Jewish voters:
"Jewish Americans cannot afford to make the wrong decision on Tuesday, November 4th, 2008," the e-mail reads. "Many of our ancestors ignored the warning signs in the 1930s and 1940s and made a tragic mistake. Let's not make a similar one this year!"
The email says "Paid for by the Republican Federal Committee of PA - Victory 2008."
It warns "Fellow Jewish Voters" of the danger of a second Holocaust due to the threats to Israel from its neighbors and touts Republican presidential candidate John McCain's qualifications over those of Obama.
The e-mail also accuses Obama of teaching members of the community group ACORN "to commit voter registration fraud" during his years as a community activist.
Republican officials say they've fired Rudnick and that he was not authorized to send the emails. Rudnick claims that he had authorization from party officials to send the email, but declined to say who they were. Looks like he's willing to take the fall to save the other guilty parties.
