14. Local news reporting:

DENVER -- The Denver campaign headquarters of U.S. presidential candidate John McCain was evacuated Thursday after the office received an envelope containing a threatening letter and an unidentified white powder, a campaign spokesman said.

Reuters reported the letter arrived in the mail in the afternoon and the campaign immediately notified local and federal law enforcement authorities.

"We are talking all necessary precautions," spokesman Jeff Sadosky told Reuters.

20. Obviously the terra-ists are a-scared of McCain.

They're trying to kill him so their secret agent Obama, with his "terrorist fist bump" can get elected.

21. Sounds like a Karl Rove trick - real close to the not knowing how many houses business. Typical.

When things get real bad for McCain, then the terrorist attacks will surface.

23. CBS has it online - LINK

(CBS) John McCain's campaign office in Denver, Colorado, has received a letter containing a threat and "an amount of white powder in it," a McCain campaign spokesman told CBS News' Michelle Levi.

"We immediately notified local and federal law enforcement agencies and are looking to cooperate with them," McCain spokesman Jeff Sadosky said.

The city of Denver is at a heightened security level, as the Secret Service and other officials prepare for the Democratic National Convention, which is set to begin on Monday.

The Arapaho County Police Station was abuzz with activity when they were called to confirm receiving word of the threat, Levi reports. They have started a call line as officials return media calls one by one.
