It's Clinton, Not Obama. No, It's Obama!

[February 27, 2008]  NORRISTOWN, Pa. (AP) -- Montgomery County authorities say a man stabbed his brother-in-law during an argument over who should get the Democratic nomination for president.

What's more, Jose Ortiz, 28, who's charged with felony assault, is a registered Republican.

District Attorney Risa Ferman said Ortiz supports Hillary Clinton and Sean Shurelds supports Barack Obama. She told reporters Monday that the two got into an argument in a Collegeville home Thursday night and Shurelds tried to choke Ortiz. She says Ortiz then stabbed Shurelds in the abdomen.

Shurelds was taken to a hospital in critical condition, but is expected to recover.
