Will there be an ACTUAL assassination attempt on any Presidential candidate before October 31, 2008?
PLEASE NOTE for this to settle YES someone has to actually take action and NOT just say that they are going to do it. What i am looking for here is an actual shooting,stabing, etc. WORDS ARE NOT AN ATTEMPTED ASSASSINATION
Note: This is taken to mean the candidates from the two main parties. The GOP and the Democrats.
Category Editor Clarification
This market will only settle as a YES if a shot is fired, or person stabs at candidate, or sets off explosive device. You get the gist, an action has to take place beyond planning and plotting.

FOCUS Online: Barack Obama hat realistische Chancen, der erste farbige Präsident der USA zu werden. Das muss für ein Klanmitglied der Albtraum sein, oder?
Dupre: Sollte Obama, dieser muslimische Nigger, Präsident werden – (Dupre schüttelt das Sturmgewehr in seiner Hand) – so wird er das bestimmt nicht lange bleiben.
FOCUS Online: Was meinen Sie damit?
Carl Dupre: Sie werden schon sehen.

Focus: Barack Obama has a realistic chance to be the first Black President of the US. As a KKK leader, you can't allow that, correct?
Dupre: If Obama, ****, becomes President, it won't be for long.
Focus: What do you mean?
Dupre: You will see soon.
How'd I do kruijs?

-ct we should do something!
A: Hundreds of millions of people vote for canidates, i doubt anyone has the time to kill anyone whos voting.
B: It would take tens of millions of dollars and a well coordinated group of highly trained professionals to be able to pull of an assassination. I doubt anyone who has a major problem with obama has that sort of capability these days.
