Woman refuses sweets to pro-Obama kids

A woman in Michigan refused Halloween sweets to trick-or-treating children whose parents support Democratic presidential candidate Barack Obama, leaving some children in tears.

Shirley Nagel passed out candy Friday on the scary holiday, but only to those who shared her support for Republican presidential candidate John McCain and his vice presidential pick Sarah Palin.

Television station WJBK says that a sign posted outside Nagel's house in suburban Detroit served this notice to children seeking treats: 'No handouts for Obama supporters, liars, tricksters or kids of supporters.'

Nagel told WJBK that 'Obama's scary.' When asked about children who were turned away empty-handed and crying, she said: 'Oh well.

Everybody has a choice.'

Current polls suggest that Barack Obama has a 16 point lead in Michigan, after the McCain campaign withdrew from the state in early October.
