First Bush Campaign Vote Fraud Indictments!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Josh Marshall's Talking Points:


The unindicted co-conspirator in a 2002 election fraud case, which has already yielded two felony guilty pleas, is none other than Jim Tobin, New England regional chair of Bush-Cheney 2004, according to court documents filed Thursday by the New Hampshire Democratic Party and now reported by the Manchester Union Leader.

Tobin is named, according to the Union Leader and TPM sources, in the plea agreements of Allen Raymond and Chuck McGee, the two men who have already pled guilty to felonies in the case.

Tobin, says the article, did not return calls requesting comment from the Union Leader Tuesday or Wednesday. Tobin has also not returned repeated calls over the last three months from TPM requesting comment on his alleged involvement in the case. TPM last attempted to contact Tobin on Sunday and Monday of this week.

Now the Justice Department is intervening to delay discovery and depositions that would almost certainly bring more of the facts to light before election day.

1. While this should be an encouraging development

it makes me sad because ashcroft got a hold of it.

2. Someone needs to stop Ashcroft.

Who has the power/nerve/guts to try? WHO could take on Ashcroft?

9. Mel Carnahan

Come on. This guy got beaten in an election by a dead guy. This notion that he is the power in this administration is laughable.

It's Cheney, then Cheney, then Cheney, then Scooter Libby. In that order.

5. If the main stream media doesn't pick up on this and keeps talking about

Mary Cheney, we need to take some drastic actions against the sponsors of the media. We must make this story known and get it out there for Sunday talk shows. Every chance you get make a phone call to a talk show and tell them you are tired of the Bushistas trying to keep the Mary Cheney ball in the air while our democracy is being stolen from us and America is becoming the most distrusted, hypocritical, and hateful nation on earth.

The Kerry campaing needs to get on this fast!!!

6. The media doesn't care what we want/think/demand.

They will not help us. :cry:

8. Heard about this in the AM on NHPR.

Our Dem State Chair, Kathy Sullivan, is rightly concerned that the unnamed individual may well be up to new tricks this time around. That the DOJ is intervening in this matter is obscene. What is really odd is that the Manchester Union Leader leaked the name. This is William Loeb's old paper. I think his widow still runs it. I'm glad the name got out but I have to wonder if this is a Trojan Horse. Not much good ever comes from that Reich wing rag.
