These volunteers were from out of state, acting on their own and this was not part of any official Democratic 'get out the vote' activity in Wisconsin. They have left the state and we will not invite them to return," wrote Susan Lagana, a spokeswoman for the Democratic Coordinated Campaign.

I knew Susan Lasagna when I lived in WI. She is one hot cheesehead mama.

Perhaps "I was just doing it to protect my daughters." Followed by, "This is just an example of Republican last-minute dirty politics."

Acting on their own? I guess that means they were not part of the Gore campaign? Well, apparently they were:

"It was unacceptable and the people who were involved are no longer working on behalf of the campaign,"' Gore spokesman Mark Fabiani said in a telephone interview.
