| Scare at Kerry Headquarters
Police sealed off the office building that houses Sen. John Kerry’s headquarters on Thursday after a package with white powder was opened by campaign staff.

Kerry, D-Mass., and his vice presidential running mate, Sen. John Edwards, D-N.C., were hundreds of miles away, campaigning their way toward next week’s Democratic National Convention.

“An envelope was opened and white powder fell out,” said campaign spokeswoman Debra DeShong. “On the recommendation of the Secret Service, we contacted the local police who are here investigating.”

The discovery of the package prompted authorities to order a fleet of emergency vehicles to converge on the location, and personnel in biohazard suits entered the building.

Despite the ranting of the Loony Left - conservatives, republicans, and even right-wing Bush supporters do not hate Kerry enough to do this.

The radical Lefties who attack police horses, stage violent demonstrations, and get high on conspiracy theories - might have it in them.

We can imagine that one might actually do this to help Kerry. Giving him ammunition against Bush, and a few days in the press spotlight.

Given the Left’s indulgance in outrageous propaganda of late - I think I will keep this idea in mind untill the FBI reveals their findings.

Alternatively: Maybe it was done by someone who simply doesn’t like Kerry.

Figure that’s a possibility?
