Today ,the first presidential primary election in Iowa takes place. Already, there's a sign that the 2008 presidential campaign is going to be very, very, VERY nasty!
Pastors in several Iowa churches received letters warning that supporting former Arkansas governor Mike Huckabee, one of the Republican hopefuls- and a Southern Baptist- could cause the churches to lose their tax-exempt status. One such church received a second, alleging that the Internal Revenue Service is looking for churches that back candidates in "violation of tax rules".
The Huckabee campaign is considering a criminal investigation.

Get ready, folks. It's gonna be a bumpy ride.
As this campaign season wears on, there will be plenty more mud slinging, fisticuffs- verbal anyway- and definitely backstabbing. In other words, the real life soap opera has just premiered, and we're all a part of it.
Better wear the rain coats and bring the shovels. The shit's starting to pile up.
