1. Probably not a virus ... |
|
more than likely it's getting marked as spam. I use Netscape for my mail and all my political emails get marked like that.

7. Someone you know has the Netsky virus |
|

which sends out the virus to everyone in that person's address book. That's how you're getting them. That's the way a lot of viruses work.
Edit: Possibly NOT someone you know, but who has your address in their address book.
EDIT #2: The political campaign e-mails I get NEVER have an attachment.

6. I've gotten no viruses from those e-mails. |
|
My ISP has spam filters but the political e-mails come through. My ISP blocks e-mails with viruses or spam e-mails, but I've gotten lots of Democratic Party, Kerry, Clinton, and other Democratic e-mails all virus free.
