White Powder in McCain's Denver office and Rovian Tricks
According to<a href="http://blogs.abcnews.com/politicalradar/2008/08/mccains-denver.html">ABC:</a>
<blockquote>A staffer in Denver opened an envelope that had been sent to the campaign which contained white powder and a threatening letter.
"As a precautionary measure we have closed the office and staff are being examined by medical personnel," said McCain campaign spokesman Tucker Bounds.</blockquote>
A similar letter was sent to the New Hampshire office, but it didn't contain any powder.
Now, who would think of doing such a stunt in the city that is hosting the Democratic Convention starting Monday?
As a reminder, here is a pretty good list of past <a href="http://www.evergreenpolitics.com/ep/2006/09/dirty_tricks_ma.html">Rovian tricks</a>. I particularly like the one where he bugged his own office, called the FBI and the media, and then blamed it on the Democrats.

That was my first thought.

Time to crank the Terror Alert to Orange.
Haven't seen that level of "Terror" since Bush won the 2004 election. Funny that.

The timing of that is very suspicious.
I bet the FBI spends little time investigating this one.
