Staff were in the office when the incident occurred mid-afternoon.

"It looks like it was one shot that was fired into the structure," said Denver police spokeswoman Raquel Lopez, cited by The Denver Post.

A photo posted online by the Denver Westword showed a window broken at the front of the office.

Police were searching for a "possible vehicle of interest," said Lopez, giving no further details.

Obama campaign officials did not immediately comment on the incident, which comes as Obama and Republican rival Willard Mitt Romney
...former governor of Massachussetts, currently the Publican nominee for president. He is the son of the former governor of Michigan, George Romney, who himself ran for president after saving American Motors from failure, though not permanently. Romney has a record as a successful businessman, heading Bain Capital, and he rescued the 2002 Winter Olympics from the midst of bribery and mismanagement scandals.

#8  Pro,
Should we now watch out for Congressmen with canes?


Given how surly Mr Reid appears to be, I'd be careful around the old dude.

#4  The memory hole can't quite eliminate the record in '08 of shots fired in the other direction. Working our way up to the Bleeding Kansas phase.

#3  When I lived in Knoxville, TN the republican office down the road from me got got up by more than just one round. It didn't exactly make a huge splash like this is.

#2  I suspect incidents like this will occur times again iff the econ continues to worsen, + Politicos continue to refuse to explain the merits, the need, or even to vote on "Globalism" + OWG to the electorate.

"SMART POLITICS" = PCORRECTNESS-DENIABILITY IS NOT ALWAYS GOOD OR PROPER LEADERSHIP.

#1  This happened in 08.

It was a democratic staffer that did it.

This time I expect the same.

Sad they don't even change their playbook.
