Sentencing in phone jamming case postponed

A sentencing hearing for the former head of a Republican consulting group has been postponed until Feb. 8.

Allen Raymond pleaded guilty to jamming Democratic telephone lines in several New Hampshire cities during the 2002 general election. Raymond, former president of the Virginia-based GOP Marketplace, pleaded guilty in federal court in June.

According to court papers, Raymond plotted with unidentified coconspirators to jam Democratic Party telephone lines established so voters could call for rides to the polls in Manchester, Nashua, Rochester and Claremont.

1. They've decided to give him the Medal of Honor instead?

2. Send him to the gallows!

Sorry, I got carried away because I'm watching Wild West Tech on the Hstory Channel.

Send him away for 25 years in Leavenworth instead.

after Bush's inauguration, of course ... say, around Feb. 7th?

cynical today ...

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.
