barry is getting his lawyers out in full force. Is there anything he hasn't done? Just like his first election except this time it's his voter registration is being challenged. See how the lawyers are volunteering because they smell fame and want to be part of it. I wonder how many are from U of C, Northwestern, Columbia and Harvard?

Senator Barack Obama's campaign is expected to send at least 5,000 lawyers to Florida alone. The first recruitment e-mail message sent by the campaign received 6,000 responses from lawyers willing to volunteer; two other recruitment messages have been sent since. Meanwhile, Senator John McCain's campaign has lined up "Lawyers for McCain" to spread out at polling places in battleground states as advocates for the ticket.
Already, lawyers for Obama have been talking to county election officials and boards of election to increase the number of early voting sites, to encourage early voting and to make sure that there will be sufficient number of voting machines.
"We have a selective, but ferocious legal strategy,"said Jenny Backus,[called Palin a fluff bunny.] a spokeswoman for the Obama campaign's legal program. "Rather than waiting for Election Day, we've had lawyers working from the beginning. We've used them for a massive voter education program, so that people know their rights and what to do on Election Day."
So far, over 10,000 lawyers have signed up over the D.N.C.'s Web site, with recruiting continuing. "We want to assist voters in real time to make sure they will be able to vote," said Joe Sandler, general counsel for the D.N.C., "and to advocate for them with local election officials."
Some law firms, like Saul Ewing in Philadelphia, are allowing their lawyers to receive pro-bono credit for voter protection work on Nov. 4. Saul Ewing, with 250 lawyers and offices in the mid-Atlantic region, says that lawyers from nearly all of its nine offices will work at the polls and that the firm's Harrisburg office had been used for election protection training.
"Our lawyers are willing to go mano-a-mano if necessary," said Orlan Johnson, a partner at Saul Ewing and a member of the Obama national finance committee. All volunteers must undergo a training session either in person or online with the Obama campaign. "We're going to have lawyers at the polls and in close proximity to the court houses," Johnson said. As an example, he said lawyers could be helpful in keeping the polls open when lines become extremely long.
I'm sure they're all over swing states. The NAACP is suing barry's vetted VP, Gov Tim Kaine (D-VA) filed 8 days before the election. What were they waiting for? Press? Setting up if he loses Virginia? 10,oo0 lawyers? How many are Republicans who just want press? Buying the election and then legally insuring it?
