MADISON, Wis. (AP) - Telemarketers in Wisconsin and West Virginia asked to make calls bashing Barack Obama and linking him to 1960s radical William Ayers quit their jobs rather than read the required script.

The calls were paid for by the McCain campaign and the Republican National Committee and are being placed in several states.

In West Virginia, Fairmont State University student Chaylee (SHAY-lee) Cole says she quit her job after being asked to read a script connecting Obama to Ayers.

And in Wisconsin, Ted Zoromski of Middleton says he quit his telemarketing job when required to make a different anti-Obama call.

Both are Democrats.

McCain spokeswoman Sarah Lenti says if the Ayers script is troubling, it's because many people find Obama's associations and judgment troubling.

the poison machine. :applause: That takes courage and conviction.
