CONCORD, N.H. - President Bush (news - web sites)'s New England campaign chairman stepped down Friday after the Democrats accused him of taking part in the jamming of their telephone lines on Election Day 2002. "The Democrats' allegations against me are without merit," James Tobin said in the statement. "But to avoid any harm to the campaign from their underhanded tactics, I elected earlier this week to step down from my voluntary position with the campaign." Get-out-the-vote phones run by Democrats and the nonpartisan Manchester firefighters union were jammed on Election Day two years ago by more than 800 computer-generated...

Concord, N.H. (AP) -- A federal appeals court on Wednesday reversed the conviction and sentence of a former Republican National Committee official accused in a phone-jamming plot on Election Day 2002. James Tobin, the former regional chairman of President Bush's re-election campaign, was convicted in 2005 of helping to arrange more than 800 hang-up calls that jammed get-out-the-vote phone lines set up by the state Democratic Party and the Manchester firefighters' union for about an hour. Republican John Sununu defeated then-Gov. Jeanne Shaheen for the Senate that day. Tobin was sentenced to 10 months in prison. But the 1st U.S....

WASHINGTON (AP) - Despite a zero-tolerance policy on tampering with voters, the Republican Party has quietly paid hundreds of thousands of dollars to provide private defense lawyers for a former Bush campaign official charged with conspiring to keep Democrats from voting in New Hampshire.

"Squad" House Democrats known for criticizing the state of Israel faced massive backlash from conservatives online over their milquetoast statements following Hamas's deadly surprise attack on Israel. Several members of the informal progressive caucus published statements on Saturday condemning the violence and calling for the conflict to de-escalate. Of the "Squad" members, Rep. Rashida Tlaib, D-Mich., has been silent on the attack on Israel.

It is the funniest thing. But I have a question. This is a Bernie Supporter doing phone bank calls. I was under the assumption that they will call registered Democrats they have on file and the Republican candidates will call registered Republicans. Is the phone web wider to Independents or are they calling anyone & everyone?http://www.thepoliticalinsider.com/what-made-this-bernie-sanders-supporter-cry-will-make-you-laugh-video/ 

No matter where you live in the USA, without donating money, you can make a difference in this election by going to http://www.mittromney.com/call-home-landing. I live in New York, a hopelessly blue state. There is very little I can do locally to help Romney. However, they have an excellent phone-from-home system this year, much better than other phone banks I've done before. It uses a combination of a regular phone for making the calls and a website where you enter the responses online. They select the phone calls for you, so they have me calling New Hampshire rather than New York....
