Who’s behind Collin County attack postcard?

Earlier this week, I got this postcard in the mail. It had no return address and the political ad disclaimer was for "Citizens to Oust Idiots". A look up at the Texas Ethics Commission shows no political group registered under that name.
So who sent these out? Four color postcards with stamps are expensive. I know I didn't send these, and no Democrat I know of would waste campaign dollars in 2008 on an official who is not up for re-election until 2010.
Most of the folks I've spoken to at the courthouse suspect this is a shot fired "over the bow" at Collin County Commissioner Jerry Hoagland in retaliation for his recent attacks on County Judge Keith Self.
Now I'm not saying Self is responsible...I have no evidence that he is. But after watching some of the dirty campaign tactics used in the last GOP primary, I am convinced there is an element in the Collin County GOP more than willing to use this kind of anonymous, nasty trick - with or without Judge Self's expressed permission.
Inquiring minds wonder what's in store for Round 4.

Whomever sent these out must just be starting early. Collin County is so firmly Republican that Clinton lost here both times and Dubya won here both times. Check out the information I collected from the state's election history website: http://www.markbaland.com/Collin_Coun...
