Is Romney dirty tricking…himself?
Could Romney Be Behind the Anti-Mormon N.H. Phone Calls?
Something fishy is going on in New Hampshire and Iowa. Voters in the two early primary states have recently been getting phone calls raising questions about the Mormon faith and military deferments of presidential hopeful Mitt Romney, R-MA. The implication is that a rival candidate – with emphasis on Sen. John McCain, R-AZ, whose Vietnam service in referenced positively in these calls – is behind the dirty tricks, seeking to influence the minds of potential voters.
But a far more conspiratorial take is gaining steam in the blogosphere. The theory is that Romney’s campaign orchestrated the scheme, in hopes that the fallout would taint GOP rivals as character assassins.
