Obama camp asks state attorney general for investigation

The campaign of Democratic presidential candidate Barack Obama wants Georgia's attorney general to look into anonymous "robocalls" made to Atlanta-area residents that take aim at Congressman John Lewis.

The automatically-made phone calls urge listeners to call Lewis, and tell him to support a member of the Congressional Black Caucus. The Atlanta-congressman is supporting an Obama rival, Hillary Clinton, in the presidential race.

Lewis says he doesn't believe the Obama campaign is behind the calls, and implied a motive might be to divide the black vote.
