If the McCain campaign had received a threatening letter with a powder in it...
... it would be ALL OVER the MSM.

But right now on Google News, if you do a search for "Obama letter powder", you get 22 articles, TOTAL.

TWENTY-TWO.

From every news source online.

Worldwide.

Ironically, the same search pops up almost 40 hits for the same letter being sent to Bill Maher!

You can damn well bet if a letter like that had been sent to McCain, the MSM would be all over it (even if it WAS just brown sugar). Hell, Bush would probably raise the threat level to Red!

3. You're right. They did...
It was on the day that McCain forgot how many houses he had. In turned out that the "threat" was likely a bogus attempt to distract the media.
