Who Has More Money?

Me or the New Hampshire Republican Party?

That would be me.

From the Washington Post:

McGee and two other participants -- Republican National Committee regional political director James Tobin and GOP consultant Allen Raymond-- have been found guilty of criminally violating federal communications law. Tobin will be sentenced today in U.S. District Court in Concord, N.H.

The New Hampshire Republican Party, burden by legal bills, is virtually broke, with $733.60 in its federal and state accounts.
It's not like the New Hampshire GOP set the bar very high... And note the way in which the Republican party actively tried to suppress votes. How positively 'freedom and democracy' of them.
Most tantalizingly to Democrats, evidence filed in Tobin's trial in December shows 22 phone calls from Tobin to the White House between 11:20 a.m. Election Day, two hours after the phone jamming was shut down, and 2:17 a.m. the next day, four hours after the outcome of the election was announced.

Democrats charge that these phone calls and the RNC payment of Tobin's legal fees suggest possible White House involvement or knowledge of the phone jamming plan. RNC Chairman Ken Mehlman was at the time serving as White House political director.
Just as all roads lead to Rome, all shit leads to the George W. Bush White House. I can't wait for the Democrats to take back a house of Congress (both?) and get some real investigations started...
