There’s a good reason why the Bush-Cheney 2004 campaign was reluctant to toss overboard its New England regional chairman, Jim Tobin, over his alleged involvement in the phone jamming of Democratic get-out-the-vote offices in Nashua and five other locales on Election Day 2002.
Why?
Now that Tobin has stepped down from that post voluntarily but denied any involvement, it looks even easier for the Democrats to try to connect the dots - rightly or wrongly - that vote suppression history was in danger of repeating itself 16 days from now.
Let’s start this game of counting connections with an emphatic declaration that no evidence exists the Bush-Cheney team was revving up a vote suppression effort of any kind.
