Big Surprise: Republicans playing dirty in Iowa
From The Washington Post ‘08 campaign blog:
“We have received reports from Romney supporters who have gotten calls providing inaccurate information about the Governor and caucus locations. There is no excuse for these types of activities and they have no part in the caucus process,” Romney spokesman Matt Rhoades said.
Also, Fred Thompson’s campaign said one staff member and several of its supporters received computerized calls that targeted Thompson and John McCain for criticism. One supporter, according to the campaign, said the call starts with a live operator saying, “Do you have a minute to listen to a taped message from Fred Thompson?” The caller next plays a tape of Thompson talking about how he doesn’t have the “fire in his belly.” The operator then returns and says “Do you really think a man like this could beat Hillary Clinton?”
