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.
