GOP rivals get probe into dirty trick 'poll'

CONCORD, N.H. - The GOP presidential campaigns of Mitt Romney and John McCain -- rocked in different ways by a highly negative "push poll" targeting Romney's Mormon faith -- demanded Friday that the New Hampshire attorney general investigate who is behind the tactic.

The attorney general's office said it was investigating the phone calls.

As part of the poll, which began Sunday, callers have been asking voters in Iowa and New Hampshire whether they know that Romney is a Mormon, that his five sons did not serve in the military and that Mormons believe the Book of Mormon is superior to the Bible.

The callers also inquire whether voters are aware that Romney, the former Massachusetts governor, accepted deferments to avoid military service in Vietnam while he was on a mission with other young Mormons in France.

At the beginning of the 20-minute survey, voters are asked whether they are aware of McCain's decorated military service during Vietnam. That has led many voters to assume the poll was sponsored by the Arizona senator's campaign. But McCain's campaign immediately denounced the effort and insisted it had nothing to do with it.

6. Good to read something about our opponents for a change.

NNNOLHI.?If you haven't already please Google, ace McCain , I know it is from the free republic, but as far as i know has never been proven false.
McCain deserved to be a pilot about as much as bush did. Another thing that really bothers me about McCain is that he looked so much healthier than the other prisoners released.

The fighting Romney sons were forced to eat macaroni and cheese while fighting the war on terror to get their dad elected. now that is sacrifice.??

Giuliani should wear a bib. Imagine his pillow in morning.?

ace McCain is a good read, it is the first hit on Google, not sure about MSN or the others.
