As the race for the White House continues apace, our man on the road - Jonn Elledge - reports on the far from clean fight for Pennsylvania

Anyone going to their mailbox in Dunmore, Pennsylvania, the other day was in for a nasty shock: a flyer featuring a picture of a foetus with a rope around its neck. Beneath it was the caption: 'Obama won't stop this.'

No prizes for guessing who that came from.

The diner waitress who told me this story was horrified, but probably not for the reasons the Republicans would like. 'What if someone who'd been through that saw it?' she asked. What if some kids did, someone added.

This isn't the only nasty ad to pop up in the state this week. A (now unemployed) Republican staffer sent an email to some of the state's Jewish community warning them against 'making the wrong decision.' 'Many of our ancestors ignored the warning signs in the 1930s and 1940s and made a tragic mistake,' it said. 'Let's not make a similar one this year!'

1. Yesterday, I received TWO flyers smearing Obama in the mail.

I received another, last Thursday. All three were vile and blatantly false.
One linked Obama to Ayers, basically calling Obama a terrorist.

Another showed a horribly sinister-looking photo of Obama with a quote supposedly from Investor's Business Daily stating Obama: "he acted more as a friend to criminals than to cops."

The last questions Obama's qualifications to be president and states "Can you trust Obama to make the right decisions? Dangerously inexperienced."

All 3 have been mailed back to the purveyors of filth who paid for these flyers, the Republican Party of PA, along with a confirmation of an additional donation made to the Obama campaign made by me. I included a note stating that I would make an additional contribution every time I received such filth from them.
