"Does anyone remember that story on Election Day of about 20 GOP cars in Milwaukee getting their tires slashed? Milwaukee police arrested the son of a newly elected Democratic congressman and a Virginia Democratic official who was in Wisconsin to campaign. What a class act the national Democrats had going this year. Attacks on Bush-Cheney offices all over the country and never a peep of protest or condemnation from John Kerry."

I remember it, and I'm from VA. I didn't know about the VA ties. Please give me details. This has me freaking out! LOL

This is one of the articles from Milwaukee Journal that says 7 persons arrested so far. I read on another site that one was from Virginia (I am in Falls Church, Va.) and one was the son of the newly elected Democratic congresswoman.

Google News search might find you the names but if I can find them I will send them on.

Here is more stuff on who was arrested from The Washington Times for Nov. 11:

Democratic activists
Milwaukee police are focusing on Democratic activists, including the children of two prominent politicians, in the Election Day slashing of tires on 20 vans and cars rented by the Republican Party.
Opel E. Simmons III, 33, a veteran Democratic Party activist from Virginia, was arrested last week and released two days later without being charged, the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reports.
Sowande Ajumoke Omokunde, also known as Supreme Solar Allah, was arrested and held for several hours on Friday. The 25-year-old is the son of state Sen. Gwen Moore, who was elected to Congress on the day of the incident.
Police also were interested in talking to Michael Pratt, son of former acting Mayor Marvin Pratt, who led Sen. John Kerry's Milwaukee campaign, the newspaper said.
Lewis Gibson Caldwell III also surrendered to police in connection with damage to the vehicles, which were intended to transport voters to the polls.
