Barack fights back. This is the dirt we’ve been waiting for. Let the mud fly.
The CRNC field rep who carved a backwards “B” in her face and claimed it was done by a black man was sentenced to 9 months probation the other day.

Ashley Barbera shares the good news in a press release to CR Nation:
(Washington, DC) – With nineteen days remaining until Election Day, the College Republican National Committee announced the success to-date of their 2008 field program, which recruited over 100,000 new members in six weeks. On August 27th, the CRNC deployed 50 highly trained field representatives to battleground states coast-to-coast to recruit and mobilize college students to turn out to vote on November 4 and elect Republican candidates up and down the ballot.
Nationally, the 50 field reps have:
RECRUITED 100,795 new College Republicans.
REGISTERED 18,122 new College Republicans to vote.
CONTACTED over 250,000 voters so far.
The 250,000+ voter contacts have come from a series of national Get-out-the-Vote efforts, in which College Republicans have gathered across the country to contact tens of thousands of voters in a single day through phone calls and knocking on doors. The CRNC has another national GOTV event this Saturday, and plans to contact over 100,000 voters in battleground states across the country in a single day.
“Contrary to conventional wisdom, the youth vote is not lost to Republicans,” said National Chairman Charlie Smith, “and our field program’s overwhelming success so far using innovative recruitment tactics both in the field and online, is testament to that fact.”
As part of the field rep program, the CRNC has scheduled three Ramp-Up Events, the second of which was this past Saturday.
A Ramp-Up Event is a one-day volunteer mobilization and voter contact push planned by the field reps and overseen by the CRNC, the purpose of which get out the vote for Republican candidates.
According to a press release sent out by the CRNC, this past Saturday “College Republicans gathered in groups around the country…to participate in a nationwide Get-out-the-Vote effort for Republican candidates. The college volunteers made 90,163 phone calls and knocked on 30,127 doors in a single day.
In light of the event, CRNC Chairman Charlie Smith had this to say:
This effort proves that all the hype about youth support for Obama and the Democratic Party is extremely exaggerated. College students across America are excited about the candidacies of Senator McCain, Governor Palin, and other Republican candidates…
The top recruiter has recruited 4,858 College Republicans. The runner up at this point has recruited 2,091. And the third, fourth and fifth top recruiters have recruited 1,525; 1,152; and 1,142 respectively.
The total number recruited thus far is 32,779 which represents 32.8% of the total goal of 100,000 new College Republicans.
Rumor has it that the top five field rep recruiters win a trip to the board meeting in Las Vegas.
