Todd told police that the attack occurred around 9pm. Todd's Twitter updates seem to be posting with the wrong time zone, 3 hours later.

These updates are a chilling bit of foreshadowing.

If this is legit, its potentially explosive.

Was the attacker looking into a mirror while carving the letter “B”?

Or maybe she was upside down. This whole thing smells of BO.

Maybe it’s not a “B” but three 6’s superimposed.

Depends on where he was standing when he did it, or if she was down, looks like the POS was writing from the top of her head, down.

One thing I’ve learned after 20 years of working on campaigns . . politics attracts nutcases. That picture earlier gave me a bad feeling.

If she were laying on the ground and he was kneeling over her facing her feet, then it would not be backward. Your “mirror” comment assumes that he carved her cheek while the two were standing and facing one another.

That's enough warning to be cautious about this whole thing until more information comes in.

this could be a hoax.

I wish the media would as aggressive investigating the attacks on McCain supporters.

One of Barack’s supporters took the admonition to “get in their faces” to heart, apparently.

I saw the B and assumed he was standing over her, looking down over her head from above.

Sorry, can't resist


Out of the night,
When the full moon is bright,
Comes the horseman known as Zorro.
This bold renegade
Carves a "Z" with his blade,
A "Z" that stands for Zorro.


Zorro, Zorro, the fox so cunning and free,
Zorro, Zorro, who makes the sign of the Z.


He is polite,
But the wicked take flight
When they catch the sight of Zorro.
He’s friend of the weak,
And the poor and the meek,
This very unique senor Zorro.


Zorro, Zorro, the fox so cunning and free,
Zorro, Zorro, who makes the sign of the Z.

Zorro, Zorro, Zorro, Zorro, Zorro.

Naaaah. My mirror comment implies that she's faking this.

It’s on bank video; if he did it standing at the top of her head, it would look just like that; if CNN is flipping the pic; it would look just like that

Either she gave herself a black eye, cut herself, and filed a false police report or she’s telling the truth. Of course, if she was held up in front of the ATM then there should be evidence on videotape.

Before we go off the wall. Let the Police investigate if this is true and if so who is the perp!
