Someone used red and white spray paint on the plate glass windows of the Obama office on Main Street in downtown Viroqua.

Chief Mark Rahr says someone painted a big red "X" over an Obama campaign sign and wrote "wrong kind of change" below.

Over the Obama lettering on the front window, someone wrote "McCain" in white paint and "He's a vet" next to it.

Someone also wrote in red paint "Obama is funded by...." and the letters become illegible.

Rahr says the vandalism occurred sometime Tuesday afternoon.
