In case there was any doubt that this race is going to be dirty...
Many South Carolina Republicans got a bogus holiday greeting card this week, purported to be from White House hopeful Mitt Romney, that cites some controversial passages of the Book of Mormon.
“We wish you and your family a happy holiday season and a joyful New Year. The Romney family,” the card says.
The last page features a photograph of a temple above a box that says “Paid For By The Boston Massachusetts Temple.”
Romney’s campaign said it had nothing to do with the cards, postmarked Thursday from Columbia with a 41-cent stamp, and Boston Temple President Ken Hutchins said Saturday he first heard about the mailing Friday from a woman in Charleston.
Hutchins said the temple had nothing to do with sending mail to South Carolina Republicans, who go to the polls on Jan. 19 in a key early primary.
For the record, I seriously doubt that any of the campaigns had anything to do with this. It’s far too crude. It’s probably just some nutburger who will hopefully be caught and convicted of mail fraud.
Maybe the same nutburger who told South Carolinians about McCain’s illegit black baby in ‘00.
