(Via Gateway Pundit) Official McCain trickery was afoot last week, but is the campaign behind this, or do we have third-party unofficial McCain supporters really slinging the mud good this time?

FARGO, North Dakota – The Romney campaign has complained to the North Dakota attorney general about what it claims are dirty tricks by the McCain campaign.

Jason McBride, who is running North Dakota for the Romney campaign, said the campaign has heard numerous complaints from voters here about anonymous and misleading automated phone calls.

The caller, McBride said, falsely claims to be from the Romney campaign but says positive things about John McCain. He said the caller has a strong “Hispanic accent.”

McBride said that by using caller ID and the reverse directory, the Romney team has traced the calls to the office of a McCain aide in Michigan. The campaign, he said, lodged a complaint today by e-mail to Atttorney General Wayne Stenehjem.

Update: Hot Air picks it up with audio of another McCain robocall, this one from California.
