Sen. John McCain's camp received two threatening letters, including one that contained white powder.

One of the letters was sent to McCain's campaign office in suburban Denver, Colorado, and the other to an office in Manchester, New Hampshire, causing evacuations of both offices.

The Denver letter, which contained threatening language and the white powder, was received at 3 p.m. (5 p.m. ET) at McCain's regional campaign office, McCain's campaign said.

Four or five people from the office drove themselves to a nearby hospital, said Bruce Williamson of the Arapahoe County Sheriff's Office. Williamson did not have an update on their medical conditions. Others in McCain's office were evacuated, Williamson said...

1. Somehow have to wonder if this story materialized out of McMansionCane's recent faux pas.

Oh dear, he's being threatened... I've completely forgotten all about the fact that he doesn't know how many houses he owns.

This is so orchestrated and it's just the beginning of the shams they plan to pull again.

13. False Alarm, inmate from arapahoe Country jail

McCain's Manchester Office Scare A False Alarm
MANCHESTER (WBZ) ― Authorities say a letter sent to a John McCain campaign office in Manchester that was believed to have been a threat has turned out to be a false alarm.

The letter had a handwritten address to John McCain and had a Denver postmark. Earlier today, a McCain office in Denver had received a threatening letter containing an unidentified white powder, so New Hampshire McCain staffers were suspicious and called authorities.

The Manchester office was briefly evacuated. Authorities now say the New Hampshire letter was a false alarm and did not contain white powder.

Officials believe the Denver letter was a hoax by an inmate because the return address was for the Arapahoe Country Jail in Colorado.

A Manchester office spokesman said all McCain campaign offices across the country have been put on high alert.
