A quick three

Three quick items of note in the presidential race.

DEMOCRATIC DIRTY TRICKS?
Push-polling in Iowan about Obama and Edwards -- with Hillary as the obvious suspect, though her campaign denies any connection. Considering her third-place finish, it didn't do her much good.

REPUBLICAN DIRTY TRICKS
A handful of ministers who support Huckabee got letters warning them that they could be sanctioned for violating church-state separation. This could just be a lone whackjob rather than an effort by someone's campaign, and again, it totally failed to intimidate anybody. But it's a pretty obnoxious attempt.

RON PAUL SUPPORTERS SLAUGHTERED
In World of Warcraft, that is -- after a political rally wherein they marched to the very gates of doom. Having to kill monsters en route to the rally must really get the blood pumping....

I assume the people in the front get to kill all the monsters. What about the marchers in the back? Do they just go after each other for fun? And what does that do for unity?

Usually, you put the healers and other wimps in the back. Of course, if I were a monster, I'd sneak up behind the column and pick off a juicy cleric or two. So maybe there was excitement all over.

What makes you so sure that the letters to the ministers is a Republican dirty trick? Trying to keep Christians out of the political process sounds more like a Democrat dirty trick to me.

Largely because it was aimed solely at Huckabee supporters.
