CONCORD, N.H. (AP) -- Burglars have broken into Democratic Party headquarters.
No, you're not having a flashback to 1972 and the infamous event that ultimately led to the greatest scandal in U.S. political history and the downfall of Richard Nixon's presidency.
Instead of Washington's Watergate complex, this burglary took place at the New Hampshire Democratic Party's headquarters over the weekend. Neither police nor party officials will comment on what was stolen and whether the break-in was politically motivated.
Office workers reported the break-in to police on Monday. Concord Police Sgt. Mike McGuire said some items were taken, but he declined to be more specific. The assessment was the same from Kathy Sullivan, the chairwoman of the state Democratic Party.
"Some things were taken, but I don't really want to get into that right now," Sullivan said on Tuesday.
There was no indication that any personal financial information was taken, said party spokeswoman Kathleen Strand.
"We want to assure our donors that their personal financial information, as far as we can tell, has been protected, and we hope to find out who did this soon," she said.
On the night of June 17, 1972, in the midst of Nixon's re-election campaign, five men were arrested during a break-in at Democratic National Committee headquarters at the Watergate building. In all, 25 people eventually went to jail for their roles in the break-in or the White House's attempt to cover it up.
How much ya wanna put down that everything taken will be of benefit to Ms. Cankles?
Maybe all of the dem "new taxes" ideas were stolen!

'I don't trust him... always sneakin' around' -old SNL skit from early '02
Funny how a former national security advisor can walk off with sensitive documents in his shorts and the media can't compare it to Watergate. Yet someone breaks into an office and they jump all over watergate comparisons.
Does Sandy Berger have an alibi?
Maybe it was necessary to get rid of some records of who contributed to whom? Not being paranoid, just exploring all the possibilities.
It is those damn plumbers again. /sarcasm
Could turn out be an inside job. The way they are constantly scheming for attention it is not outside the realm of possibility. Or could be just random vandalism
I wonder what the stolen stuff is worth at a pawn shop. Ron Paul allegedly collected $14,000 in campaign "contributions" last weekend in NH. Hmmmm....
Don't miss this article with the laughable title:
Exhume and presume.
They were probably looking for some weed or meth........
Replacing the coke and scotch will be easy.
It's all of those hooker's numbers that are going to be a b*tch.
