<p><span class="smallcaps">Here's a thought.</span>  Bob Novak pretty much <a href="http://www.lincolntribune.com/modules/news/article.php?storyid=3868">put us on notice</a> a couple weeks ago that the White House and the RNC were going to make a habit of using uniformed military personnel as props at Republican political rallies.  This despite the fact that it is a <a href="http://www.talkingpointsmemo.com/archives/007805.php">plain violation</a> of military regulations banning politicization of the armed forces.  </p> <p>Now, with Rep. Marilyn Musgrave's (R-CO) <a href="http://www.talkingpointsmemo.com/archives/007802.php">event in Colorado</a> we seem to have the first actual example of it.</p> <p>My gut tells me this isn't the only one.  But in the nature of things the notations of it will show up only in local papers, well under the radar of the national press.  So I'm curious whether folks have seen examples of similar things happening in their own districts.  If you've seen examples, let us know.  </p> <div class="posted">-- Josh Marshall</div></blockquote></div><div style="margin: 0px 6px 6px 4px;"><table style="font-size: 11px;border-spacing: 0px;padding: 0px;" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" width="100%"><tr><td style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;">&nbsp;</td><td align="right" style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;width:107px" width="107"><a href="http://clipmarks.com/share/9C3623AD-989C-4966-ADED-1E6ACD26B958/blog/" title="blog or email this clip"><img src="http://content6.clipmarks.com/images/c2b-foot.png" border="0" alt="blog it" width="107" height="17" style="border-width:0px;padding:0px;margin:0px;" /></a></td></tr></table></div></div>
