PHILADELPHIA -- There was a scare Tuesday at the South Philadelphia campaign headquarters of Democratic Sen. Barack Obama.

The office at 15th and Christian streets was filled with volunteers around 5 p.m. when one of them brought in the mail and opened a letter that had a note and a powdery substance on it that immediately set off alarms.

She notified a supervisor. Then, they placed the letter outside, evacuated the building and called police.

Fortunately, the substance found in the letter was harmless and nobody was hurt. But the incident is still under investigation as a threat, Fox 29's Sharon Crowley reported.

1. I wonder if this has anything to do with it

"We need hundreds of volunteers to get out the vote and prevent a stolen election. It is critical that we maximize McCain/Palin support locally to counteract Philadelphia shenanigans!"

That's right accusing people in Philadelphia's Obama campaign of stealing the election. That incites this type of behavior.

3. Hey McCAIN................... WHO ARE THE TERRORISTS

Looks as though they SUPPORT YOU.

I hope the Feds can trace where this letter came from and punish them with the FULL extent of the LAW. This IS Domestic Terrorism.

Do you think McCain will repudiate them?.?.?



edit: your link isn't working.
