Iowa pastors who support Republican Mike Huckabee for president have received letters warning them that getting involved in politics could endanger the tax-exempt status of their churches.
Several pastors who have publicly backed Huckabee, a Southern Baptist minister who has support from many evangelicals, said they have received the letters, which have no return address. They have arrived in the weeks leading to Thursday's precinct caucuses.
Two letters were sent to the Rev. Brad Sherman, of Solid Rock Christian Church in Coralville. The first arrived a couple weeks ago and warned that he could be prosecuted for his support of Huckabee.
"I just laughed. No one lands in jail for this," Sherman said. "Somebody is trying to intimidate Christians from getting involved."

Considering the shenanigans that Willard's campaign has pulled, even just this past day, I'm half tempted to think that this is a way that Mitt's campaign has cooked up to try to suppress Huckabee turnout this evening. I'm no Huckabee fan, but this stinks anywise.

This coupled with the vicious “rumor” about Fred Thompson dropping out tells me it’s dirty tricks by the “master” of dirty tricks and that camps willing accomplices the drive by media

Not to worry. It’s the Democrats who are convinced the general election will take place on Wednesday.

The only difference between Huckabee and Dean is Huckabee has no chance of becoming Party Chairman.

Mitt is trailing in Iowa and New Hampshire.
He's desperate. He'll do anything.

Fred handed it to Tim Russert this morning! Tim asked if he drops out would be endorse McCain. Fred said, he has no intention of dropping out and wonders if McCain drops out if he will back him! Of course, Tim would not ask McCain that! GO FRED!
PS: Huckabee is at his little tricks again???

I'm no Huckabee fan, but this stinks anywise.
I'm not a Huck supporter either, but this seems to follow a "Tompkins" pattern.

That's the problem, Huck.
