New Hampshire: Rnc

A cherry on top of what can be charitably called the worst month of Judd Gregg's senate career:New Hampshire Republican Judd Gregg , however, disputed the notion that GOP lawmakers want Obama's fiscal policy to fail. He suggested Reid's comments were prompted by a flap within the Republican Party over statements made by conservative talk show host Rush Limbaugh.

"Most of us want to see the president succeed because this country's in such dire straits, that unless this administration's successful, we're not going to get out of it," said Gregg, who was Obama's first pick to head the Commerce Department but withdrew from consideration.

But who will tell him?

(Of course, Gregg's self-serving quote is preposterous, as is shown by his forceful opposition so far to the Administration's economic policy. But the line in the sand to RNC Virtual Chair Limbaugh remains.)

The lead prosecutor in the phone jamming case told the  Maine federal judge who is deciding whether to let the government go forward against Jame Tobin with a charge of lying to the FBI about the phone jamming that at least four others could be charged with lying to  investigators and that others knew about the crime before it occurred. The Bangor News reports that:
U.S. Trial Attorney Andrew Levchuk said that at least four other people could be charged with lying to investigators, as Tobin has been.

Levchuk did not name anyone but said that individuals in addition to Tobin, 48, and two others who pleaded guilty and served prison terms had "prior knowledge" of the plan to make repeated hang-up calls to Democratic get-out-the-vote phone banks more than six years ago.

Republican National Committeewoman Phyllis Woods said the national Republican party should re-examine itself if it wants to remain relevant in the future.

MINNEAPOLIS--Despite being stripped of half the delegation, during the roll call of the Republican convention, Peter Spaulding announced that the New Hampshire delegation's 24 votes went to U.S. Sen. John McCain.

When asked why he said 24 votes Spaulding told PolitickerNH.com, "cause I feel that we're entitled to 24 votes, how they count them is up to them [the RNC]."

Earlier this year the RNC reduced the official delegation from 24 delegates to 12 because the New Hampshire primary was held earlier than the party rules would allow.
