RALEIGH, N.C. (AP) -- A suspicious package addressed to Democrat John Edwards forced the evacuation of his campaign headquarters this morning. That's the third time that authorities have responded to letters mailed to the presidential candidate.

Captain Bob Overton of the Chapel Hill Police Department says authorities are investigating the contents of the package.

Postal employees in Chapel Hill intercepted another suspicious package in May after finding that the letter contained a powdery substance. Edwards staffers also evacuated their office in Chapel Hill in March after an employee opened a package that contained a powdery substance.

Both of those packages tested negative for anthrax. That's the powdery substance that accompanied letters in 2001 that killed five people and sickened 17 others.

1. obviously a Rove-inspired move when coupled with the effort by locals

to have the office shut down because it is "disrupting" the neighborhood.

and why won't we fight dirty like this?
