COLUMBUS, Ohio — A man who was dressed in a squirrel costume was escorted from the Ohio Statehouse steps on Monday morning while Gov. Ted Strickland, U.S. Sen. Sherrod Brown and Mayor Michael Coleman were discussing negative campaigning by Republicans.
The squirrel held up a sign that said, "Don't Let Obama + ACORN Steal Ohio."
Strickland, Brown and Coleman stood on the Statehouse steps to call for an end to what they called "lying, deceitful ads" by Republican presidential nominee Sen. John McCain, 10TV's Patrick Bell reported.
McCain's campaign accuses ACORN, a community activist group that operates nationwide, of perpetrating "massive voter fraud," claiming Sen. Barack Obama has "long and deep" ties to the group.
"I say to Sen. McCain and those backing him in the way they do things to stop squirreling around and start being straight with voters," Coleman said. "We ought to be tired of the ridiculousness we're seeing here."
Ohio Democratic officials have admitted that up to a third of the 600,000 new voter registrations made this year have some kind of discrepancy.
On Friday, the U.S. Supreme Court threw out a bid by Republicans to force Ohio to verify suspicious registration before the Nov. 4 election.
Ohio Secretary of State Jennifer Brunner, a Democrat, has said the discrepancies most likely stem from innocent clerical errors rather than fraud but has set up a verification plan.
"This unanimous ruling by the United States Supreme Court allows Ohio to move about the business of ensuring a free, fair, open and honest election without the threat of widespread voter suppression by the GOP," Ohio Democratic Party Chairman Chris Redfern said in a statement.

Good freaking grief, they just couldn't stand ONE protestor??

Well Mr Strickland nothing in the statement that is attributed to McCain is incorrect or not factual so exactly how is it lying or decietful??
Is it okay that YOU lie and are decietful for Obama just because he is Obama?
Oh wait of course it is. How silly of me....................
Let’s face if there is too much free speech out there...
The 1st Auxiliary Rocket-Propelled Hamster Squadron is also ready for action!
Why wait for 'the Republicans'? Most of us here are Republicans...all we need are the squirrel suits. Or maybe an oak motif...
LOL!
What’s the big deal?-it was John Kerry on his annual Ohio hunting trip-he “got him a hunting license” and was in stealth camoflage mode, stalking those “wascally wabbits”-I mean squirrels. You haven’t lived till you’ve had Squirrel a la Bearnaise with balsamic reduction, and a nice bottle of vintage Cotes du Rhone after a hard day of crawling on your belly with a shotgun.
That's what I was thinking. The MSM needs a course on varmints.
Brit, Sean, Rush and Michelle!!!
Honest. Saw them in the morning, well before drinking time.
So, like before 10am, or so.
I wouldn’t be surprised if it will get mentioned. Rush Limbaugh has been referring to Obama as a squirrel lately. [Operation Chaos!]
The Dems are lying.
Hahah!
I couldn't find an email address for Ann, so if anyone knows it, they can send it to me in a private message?
This story is too good to pass up!
I hope that more Americans take a stand against ACORN and the democrats.
We have mainly gray ones in S. FL. I am more a ringneck dove man myself - feeding wild ones. The squirrels come by to also have a treat with an occassional blue jay.
I love cardinals but we do not see too many of those. Animals are much nicer than community organizers.
I hope there are more out there with squirrel suits. It’s a great symbol for ACORN.
Don’t let Barney Frank see that!
Come on—you missed the opportunity to say he has “the nut?”
