    Phoenix, AZ – An Arizona woman, in despair at the re-election of Democratic President Barack Obama, ran down her husband with the family car in suburban Phoenix on Saturday because he failed to vote in the election, police said on Monday.

    Holly Solomon, 28, was arrested after running over husband Daniel Solomon following a wild chase that left him pinned underneath the vehicle.

    Daniel Solomon, 36, was in critical condition at a local hospital, but is expected to survive, Gilbert police spokesman Sergeant Jesse Sanger said.

    Police said Daniel Solomon told them his wife became angry over his “lack of voter participation” in last Tuesday’s presidential election and believed her family would face hardship as a result of Obama winning another term.

    Witnesses reported the argument broke out on Saturday morning in a parking lot and escalated. Mrs Solomon then chased her husband around the lot with the car, yelling at him as he tried to hide behind a light pole, police said. He was struck after attempting to flee to a nearby street.

    Obama won the national election with 332 electoral votes compared with 206 for Republican challenger Mitt Romney. Arizona’s 11 electoral votes were won by Romney.

    Yeah, it’s all HIS fault. His vote is the one that would have made the difference. The lady lost it, that’s for sure. Now people are going to blame Obama when someone has a breakdown.

    Glad he’s fine. I hope he explains to her before the next election how the electoral system works. Really no need to attempt murder over this…

    Azoy….had this poor guy voted, the world would be a different place today. Arizona’s electoral votes would have changed the outcome and his one vote was key to winning Arizona. She had every right to be upset.

    Very sad and very strange, especially since Romney already won the state anyway.

    Sounds like Mrs. Solomon may be one of the rabid, hysterical Obama haters whpo regularly comment on VIN. She certainly is a fan of Sean Hannity and Mark Levin, based on her sophisticated political analysis!

    1) Isn’t Solomon a Jewish name?

    2) Is this woman so stupid that she thinks that if her husband voted in a state in which Romney got all of the electoral votes, he would have won? Sounds like a Republican supporter to me.

    3) It’s obvious this woman devoured wholesale the right wing meme about conservatives not showing up to vote and took it literally. Sad.

    They took HIM to the hospital? She was the one who manifested quite severe mental illness. I’m no happier about the sentence America has for the next 4 years, but this is sheer psychosis.

    There are crazy people everywhere. The brand of politics they choose doesn’t signify.

    Maybe he’ll welcome her back when she realizes the error she made.

    Wouldn’t have it made more sense for her to run over Obama?

    With the way Obama was vilified by the Republicans the past 4 years, somehow, I’m not surprised something like this happened. With inciters like Hannity and :Limburger cheese, the conservative psychos can be easily manipulated to act crazy like this. Time to get rid of these bozos and put more civility back into government.

    My ex-wife tried the same stunt back in November of ’92. I voted for Clinton; she told me I had betrayed my country and didn’t deserve to live. She cornered me in the parking lot of Maple Lanes (16th Ave. and 60th St.), and tried to run me over. Luckily, I escaped by running to the 62nd precinct (16th Ave. and 59th St.), where the captain at the time, I think it was Joseph Esposito, had her arrested. The funny thing is, she’s now remarried to a Democrat, and I voted for Romney. Go figure!

    Story would have made more sense if he had voted for Obama than not voting at all —

    1] Who knows how many people would be run over if Romney would have won? I shudder to think. Just bring to memory the Rodney King riots…..

    2]It seems that she lost at two fronts- she had her candidate which she didn’t want voted in AND she didn’t manage to crush her hubby to death.
    A child asked his mother-Mom,why is Dad running frantically in the back yard? The mom answered- Pay no attention to that,dear. Hand me please that box of bullets over there….

    I hope that she serves some serious jail time! This kind of domestic violence, whereby a woman (or a man), commits grieveous bodily harm against another person, has to be taken seriously. In 2002, a Texas Orthodontist by the name of Clara Harris, ran over and killed her Orthodontist husband, because she suspected infidelity. In 2003, a Texas jury didn’t buy her bubba meises defense, and she was sentenced to 20 years to life! Her appeals failed, Boroch Hashem!
