Today the Texas Fire Marshall ominously said the arson in the Texas Governor's Mansion may have been politically motivated. Read the full story at the link to the Dallas Morning News after the fold.

It seems they have a surveillance tape of some white guy throwing a Molotov cocktail at the mansion.
It seems irresponsible to speculate on the perp's motives without having the slightest clue as to who he was or where he comes from.
It seems outrageous that such a motive would be suggested during a heated political election year, but I don't think more people are going to vote for John McCain because of it.
For all we know, he might have been a disgruntled tourist who did not like his stay in Austin or he may have simply been on drugs or drunk.
The Marshall gave executions and cost of mansion renovation as the two examples of possible motives.
Let's hope they find him fast and the Texas Fire Marshall turns out to be dead wrong.
