This woman has two black eyes. SHe was likely hit on the bridge of her nose. Had a few shiners like that myself.

Putting a neat B on her cheek is no problem. You just grab the face and use a sharp point, like a nail or needle,and write it right between thumb and forefinger.

The woman did not move, and was either scarred stiff or completely limp and semi sensless on the ground from the blow, or a threat to kill.

If the B is backwards , it means that it was done with the woman laying head to the attacker.

I would love to see her blog postings. Does anyone have a link?

Now why would this woman make it up? Attention? Via self mutillation. The only wway we can tell is via a personality profile. I doubt that a campaign worker would fit a self mutillation/attention seeker stereotype.Simply because such work is quite repetative, and requires a patient, methodical individual, hardly in keeping with anyone who would go to self mutilation for attentions sake.

Meanwhile we have physical evidence that what she says is true. It will be good to see the followup on this in terms of the kind of person she is.

Keep in mind that every politically correct official will be trying to say that she did this to herself. Its the easy way out.

Playing devil's advocate again, my black eyes always had more coloring to them (especially where the bridge of my glasses meet my nose), but we all bruise different so it's a non-issue.

As far as her blog postings, here's her twitter which I guess is like a blog. There were others on Malkin's article in one of the links there (there are a lot of links to that article). The whole College Republican thing is here.

Having volunteered for a lot of campaigns, I can safely say you would be amazed at how many people join up for the attention they think they'll get. I never had a desire to get involved in politics, but many of the volunteers and campaign workers I met truly believed that they would get noticed by some party official and it would translate into a job or they would end up with contacts that would help them out somewhere down the road. Some actually did manage to leverage it into something more, but many more didn't. In fact, it probably turned off quite a few people to politics.

Police planned to administer a polygraph test to Ashley Todd, 20, because her statements about the attack conflict with evidence from the Citizens Bank ATM where she claims the incident occurred, police said.

A polygraph test is not admissible in court, but interesting nonetheless.
