Felons for Obama

The Obama campaign has had a series of campaign office gaffes, such as the Houston office with the big picture of Che Guevarra in it. In Pottstown, PA, the Obama office was making a play for a very Democrat constituency - felons:

POTTSTOWN — A simple sign in the window of the local Barack Obama campaign headquarters has reignited a conversation about convicted felons' right to vote in this country.

The poster board welcomed all passersby to register to vote and included the statement: "Felons can vote." The sign, which was visible at the office opening a week ago, has since been removed.

A lifesize cardboard printout of the presumptive Democratic nominee for president has replaced the sign. A spokesman from the Philadelphia campaign office said this decision was made at the local level.

"They just realized maybe it was sending the wrong message and took it down themselves," Sean Smith said.

Can felons vote in Pennsylvania? Yes They Can! (and Obama wants 'em).
