Surprise: woman who quit call center over McCain script turns up at Joe Biden event

A couple days ago, in completely and absolutely unrelated incidents, two people quit call centers over anti-Obama scripts they were asked to read.

Now, shock of all shocks, one of those who quit turns up at a Joe Biden rally:

In [Charleston, West Virginia], Biden announced that [Chaylee Cole, a student at Fairmont State University] was in the crowd - and praised her as personifying the need for America to move beyond divisive politics.

"What we need more of is the kind of gut, core American sentiment expressed by a woman, a woman I called on the phone, I heard about her, I leaned about her, her name is Chaley Cole," Biden said.

"She said, 'Democrat or Republican I wouldn't have done this.' End of quote. Ladies and gentlemen. Chaley recognized that regardless of your personal politics, attacks like that, attacks like that are out of bounds."

It's all just a coincidence, and it was always just a coincidence.

10/27/08 UPDATE: Supposedly, 30 or so call center workers at Americall in Indiana walked off their jobs rather than read a script that they supposedly were asked to read that supposedly contained things they disagreed with. They weren't apparently fired, and no word from Americall was offered. The only testimony is from two people who, for all we know, could be spinning a tale and at a site not exactly known for getting things right: tpmelectioncentral.talkingpointsmemo.com/2008/10/dozens_of_call_center_workers.php
