Police sealed off the office building that houses Sen. John Kerry's headquarters on Thursday after a package with white powder was opened by campaign staff.
Kerry, D-Mass., and his vice presidential running mate, Sen. John Edwards, D-N.C., were hundreds of miles away, campaigning their way toward next week's Democratic National Convention.
"An envelope was opened and white powder fell out," said campaign spokeswoman Debra DeShong. "On the recommendation of the Secret Service, we contacted the local police who are here investigating."

Now someone tell me why they're opening packages at headquarters. What kind of "smart security" is that? (That's why I think it's a Dem Operative.)
"package of white powder"
Looks like the party supplies for the celebs has arrived.
Yep. Effin probably thinks Dubya has better security, so he needed some sort of excuse. Or he wanted to raise public sympathy before his Effin big show.
John F'n Kerry and Vernon Jordan at the Urban League meeting fondling one anther (I bet John Edwards is jealous).
Probably nothing but a barrel full of BOTOX!
Good comparable to bombing the pharmaceutical site ?
"I don't know what you mean, I have never heard of Botox", as his face freezes in mid sentence.
Vernon Jordan...The man who had the job lined up in NYC for MONICA!!!!!!
pAAAALLLEEEEZZZZE. However I like the dum party supplies(coke)explaination. If someone wanted to make sure it was a serious action at the two Johns, they would have waited till Monday. Get it.
"THE FIXER".
Its Bushs fault! Or something like that. The dems will use this to gain favor and sympathy with the public, I wouldnt be surprised if they made a young staffer snort a line of the powder so they would have a martyr.
I wouldn't be surprised if Kerry put it there for attention.
Hello? Anybody out there?
"How much you wanna bet the Kerry Camp mailed it to themselves"
"Didn't Clinton have a problem like this right after 9/11??"
That's what I was remembering too, anyone out there with an old link to the story???
I think so too ,Kerry looking for some sympathy.
So let me get this straight; The Secret Service gave jurisdiction to the local cops? No FBI? It must be an inside talcum powder job.
Ok, I'll go into full DU-conspiracy mode, and agree with a few other posts: It's a Dem effort to (1) garner sympathy for Kerry; and (2) make it appear that the terrorists really fear Kerry more than Bush.
OH YOU are bad I think wrong country
Is that more Brazil or Columbia
Rack Free Republic I think you guys broke this story before Fox news CNN or Drudge
