Republican presidential candidate Marco Rubio's Washington, D.C., campaign office was evacuated Tuesday afternoon due to a suspicious white powder that was found, a spokesman said.

Employees have evacuated to the roof of the D.C. office building, while hazmat crews are in the office, spokesman Alex Conant told ABC News.

The fire department is on the scene, and the FBI was in the process of responding the situation.

4. Marco getting his bump

Probably a big real estate deal going down for Little Rubes.

5. a hoax I'm sure

if they wanted to do harm they'd put it in a baggie and leaving it laying around in the vicinity of the Senator

6. Probably mildew from a lack of activity.

14. Good! I've already deleted my thread, since you beat me to it with the news.

Evacuated to the roof? I wonder if that's some new protocol for DC coming down from Homeland Security? Seems like it'd be wiser to just get everybody out of the building....what'll they do if it turns out to actually be a deadly toxin or something...use helicopters to fly them out? Weird.
