Flipping the Flip-Flopper: Obama Officially Buying Votes

http://americasnewstoday.com/stories/BRiT-08192008-oBAMABuYsPAVoTes.html

Before Pennsylvania's Democratic Primary, Barack Obama made a point of saying his campaign would not compensate volunteers who help get the vote out in Philadelphia, saying, "We're not going to pay for votes or pay for turnout."

But now, the Philadelphia Daily News reports Obama appears to be changing his strategy. Local Democratic Party Chairman Congressman Bob Brady says street money will be available. "They told me there are going to be resources here. That's what we do in Philadelphia; we pay people to work," Brady said.

The campaign's Pennsylvania director would not comment on the availability of street money, but told Fox News the campaign is working with local Democrats.
