Tancredo investigating bus cancellation hoax

Staff for Republican presidential candidate Tom Tancredo are looking into a hoax e-mail sent today to nearly 500 people saying buses transporting Tancredo supporters to Saturday's straw poll in Ames had been canceled.
"This is a blatant attempt to derail our efforts for the straw poll," said Alan Moore, spokesman for Rep. Tancredo, R-Colo.
The bogus e-mail sent around 10:45 a.m. today to about 490 recipients stated the Tancredo campaign had canceled 10 buses and changed the pickup times for 40 other buses.
The e-mail said the changes were made "because of efforts by some of our opponents, a number of businesses have been forced to deny our ability to use their sites for parking and coordinated campaign activities."
Moore said the e-mail is false and that the Tancredo bus schedule remains the same.
The campaign plans to send a message to all recipients of the hoax e-mail alerting them to the false message, Moore said. They will also try to find out who sent the bogus e-mail, he said.
"We're looking into it, but there's only so much we can do," Moore said.
Tancredo is among eight Republicans participating in Saturday's straw poll in Ames.
