If Ashley had been an Obama worker... oh wait, *Nancy* was!
What separates "mad" scientists from the ordinary kind is an appreciation for irony:
CALEDONIA -- A campaign worker going door to door on behalf of Democratic presidential candidate Sen. Barack Obama was allegedly assaulted Saturday afternoon by a resident of a home where a campaign call was made. In a telephone interview broadcast Saturday night, WISN-TV (Channel 12) identified the worker as Nancy Takehara, 58, of Chicago. Sgt. Toby Schey of the Caledonia Police Department said Saturday night that there was no medical assistance requested by Takehara, who said the suspect hit her in the face and pulled her hair.
The following day, the assailant admitted he "regrets his actions", which included pulling the 58-year-old woman's hair.

Probably the difference is that the Obama campaign didn't push it to the media like the mccain operatives did?

Is he going to be charged at minimum with assault?
There are other protections (as well) in law concerning campaign workers.
