I just got email from the "john edwards campaign" and it's a fake

[MaineDem]

I put that in quotes because I doubt very much it came from them.

It was a Howie Carr article (or so it claimed) from the Boston Herald (barf) about the "real John Kerry."

Then it went into something about a divorce but it was hard to read.

Should I send it to the Edwards people? I don't like dirty tricks being played on any candidate. Edwards isn't my first choice but I know his people didn't do this.

1. Could you post the full headers of the message

That alone will tell you if it actually came from the campaign.

[Renew Deal]

2. Post the whole thing here.

I can probably tell you where it came from.

3. I Would Pass It On To Edwards' Campaign

If stuff is floating out there without their knowledge, they need to know about it.

4. send it to them. Whaddya got to lose? n/t

5. are you on edwards mailing list ?

you can compare to see. and i agree, i can't see edwards campaign doing something like this. probably some right winger using it to attack both kerry and edwards.

6. They have been working that against Dean even before

Iowa.

10. I am also on Edward's....

I am also on John Edward's e-mail list, and I didn't get it. Go to his website and it is all positive stuff.

Somebody is trying to make him look bad. This smells Rovian to me.

7. The first clue was the email addy

EDWARDSforPRES at aol.com

Edited so the link wouldn't appear. The @ replaces "at" and no spaces.

9. yeah, it's a fake then

probably some right wingers since it is a right wing article.

8. Don't think the Edwards people did that so...

post it on his blog. johnedwards2004.com We would not do something like that. We wouldn't dish on any candidate and none of us need 'dirty tricks' being played.

11. Does it look like the other e-mails?

I get emails from the campaign every day, and they always have the same format and the same color scheme.

[MaineDem]

13. I'm not on the Edwards' mailing list

This is the first mail I've ever received from them (or whoever it is.)

12. I smell Republicans

This seems all too much like something out of the CREEP playbook...
