Vandals sprayed the word "Obama" on the Republican Party of Sarasota's office on Tamiami Trail near the intersection with Stickney Point Road on Tuesday night.
The culprits also tore up campaign signs, party Chairman Eric Robinson said.
Robinson estimated the damage at $900 and chalked up the incident to growing election fever.
"It just shows that people get very worked up about these races," Robinson said. "Especially the presidential ones. People take it very personally."
