An armed man has apparently taken members of Hillary Clinton's campaign staff hostage in New Hampshire, news outlets and Democratic National Committee chairman Howard Dean have just reported.
The situation, at a Clinton campaign office in Rochester, N.H., has caused Clinton to cancel her appearance at the DNC fall meeting in Virginia this afternoon, Dean announced moments ago. He asked the hotel ballroom crowd, which largely consists of Clinton supporters for the afternoon session, to keep the campaign staff in their prayers.
Stay tuned to the Swamp for more details as they develop.
Update: The Clinton campaign has released this statement:
"There is an ongoing situation in our Rochester, NH office. We are in close contact with state and local authorities and are acting at their direction. We will release additional details as appropriate."

Hey, does anyone know where Paulo and John D are right now?
They'd be likely suspects.

Wow, Howard Dean asking folks to keep people in their prayers?!?!? I thought that was against liberal Democratic party principles?
Anyway, while I disagree with the ideas of the Clinton supporters, they are in my prayers and hopefully this situation ends soon, with no one injured or killed.

The real question is when the campaign email/commercial goes out with this event asking for money to defeat the evil Republicans who want everyone to be able to buy a bomb without a license.

Does anyone know why this man decided to take the Clinton campaign center hostage?

Well this is no surprise. The most demented, deranged, mentally-impaired folks are on the Left. It's why you folks are the worst and most worthless mankind has to offer.

We believe you we really do John D. And then there was one about letting a bomb go off in the middle of Chicago to kill all the Democrats. You must have a short memory...You have soooo much credibility in the "compassionate conservative" department.

Unbelievable, John D! How many times have you gotten on here to proclaim your desire that every last one of the "loony left" be wiped off the face of the earth? Your feigned concern is touching, you freakin' phony.
