Obama Precinct Captain's Mailer Urges Republicans To Switch Parties To Stop Hillary
By Greg Sargent - January 14, 2008, 5:10PM

An Obama precinct captain in Nevada has circulated a flyer that urges Republicans (and independents) to become Democrats just for a day in order to stop Hillary.

The flyer is likely to be controversial, because it's playing on Republican dislike of Hillary to get GOP voters to affect the outcome of the Democratic caucuses.

"Republicans, Independents, Everyone," the flyer reads. "You can make the difference if you think a Democrat will win in November and you don't want Hillary...You can come to the Democratic caucus and vote for Obama."

to be fair:
Obama campaign said this:

Obama spokesman Bill Burton confirmed that Buchanan is a precinct captain, and sent me this statement:

We’ve learned that one individual who volunteers for the campaign was making the flyer and weve instructed him to stop creating and distributing it. But make no mistake, we want as many independents and Republicans to become Democrats and help to build a new governing majority in this country.
