MAUMEE, Ohio, Oct. 15 (UPI) -- Democratic U.S. presidential nominee Barack Obama says a community activist group under siege by Republicans is "not advising our campaign."
Obama, a U.S. senator from Illinois, Tuesday addressed attacks from GOP counterpart Sen. John McCain of Arizona alleging he has close ties with the Association of Community Organizations for Reform Now, or ACORN. McCain alleges the low-income and minority advocacy group, which generally favors Democratic candidates, is perpetrating "voter fraud."
