Spokesman: Dem Candidate's House Fire Likely Caused By Faulty Wiring
As you may have heard today, Washington state Dem Congressional candidate Darcy Burner's home was destroyed in a fire. Everyone made it out safely.
Campaign spokesman Sandeep Kaushik told Election Central that the cause is believed to be faulty wiring in a lamp. "We'll just have to wait for a final determination, but the indications are that that was the cause," said Kaushik.
Kaushik also told us that Burner's dedication to her very competitive House race against incumbent Republican Dave Reichert has not been affected: "She'll take a couple days off, obviously, to deal with the issues surrounding the fire. But she'll be back on the campaign trail shortly."

How do I send a message to Greg or Eric? Just found out that the founder of PUMA (party unity my ass), the anti-Obama/pro Hillary group was started by a McCain supporter. We need a thread for this.

Faulty wiring in a lamp, a bit of accelerant and a threatening note? Please let Reichert's fingerprints be found all over this . . .

Are they sure it wasn't caused by Wes Clark's assertion that flying airplanes and getting shot down over Vietnam doesn't make McCain qualified to be president?

From Crooks and Liars:
There’s a myth out there that the McCain campaign and the media have cooperated to create. It says that John McCain is reluctant to exploit his Vietnam POW story for political advantage, so modest and full of integrity is he. We’ve seen this repeated again and again, not just by McCain and his supporters but by reporters who ought to know better.
Nothing could be further from the truth.
From the first time he ran for Congress in 1982 up to the present day, McCain has made his POW story the centerpiece of his entire political career. The key moment of that 1982 campaign was when he responded to his opponent’s (absolutely true) accusation that McCain was a carpetbagger by saying, “As a matter of fact, when I think about it now, the place I lived longest in my life was Hanoi.” At every point since, it has been the deft use of this tool that has brought McCain renewed attention or won him a key victory.
