Law enforcement authorities have arrested two men, and several law enforcement sources say the investigation is looking into whether the men intended to harm presidential candidate Sen. Barack Obama.

According to multiple sources, Aurora police made a routine traffic stop Sunday morning at 2:38 a.m. The Secret Service says two rifles were found in the car along with methamphetamine. Another law enforcement source says he was told at least one of the rifles was a "sniper rifle."

A second source told CBS4 Investigator Brian Maass authorities told officers they are concerned they may have come upon a possible "assassination plot."

1. Why would they do a press conference?

There are always death threats on any candidate. Dwelling on it doesn't help.

2. Law enforcement used to be a background task ... not any more. They love that spotlight.

Problem is, they sure spend a lot of money infiltrating peaceful groups.
