In a controversial move, Ryan had Justin Warfel (a campaign worker) follow his opponent, Barack Obama, twenty four hours a day and record everything he did in public on videotape. Warfel did not follow Obama into his office, private residences, or the bathroom, but other than this he recorded Obama at all times. Warfel also heckled Obama by yelling questions at him in public. The tactic backfired when many people, including Ryan's supporters, criticized this activity. Ryan eventually withdrew Warfel but did not apologize. http://www.chicagotribune.com/news/specials/elections/chi-0405230433may23,1,3572265.story
