Volunteer for McCain who falsely claimed to be a victim of a robbery and a politically motivated assault (1). The charge that she blamed a non-existent black man for a robbery that didn't happen and a physical assault that she did to herself creates a question as to whether or not the McCain campaign had a racist volunteer.

Is she mentally ill, or is this a strategy?

• In February of 2008, Todd sent an e-mail to the Ron Paul group saying her tires were slashed and that campaign paraphernalia had been stolen from her car because she supported Mr. Paul. (2)
