Hello. I'm Richard Ager. Beth Carroll is off. Welcome to this Friday Edition of New Hampshire Outlook. |
| Roundtable Return to index of stories... |
On this program, we're going to focus on the big story this week: the Democratic National Convention. And joining me to talk about it are three convention survivors: In Concord we have Kevin Landrigan from "The Telegraph", and here in Durham, Colin Manning from Foster's Daily Democrat and Mike Pomp, news director at WTSN. Welcome all of you. We'll get to our discussion in a few minutes, but first, here's a reminder of the past four days in which the Democrats presented their party and their presidential candidate, John Kerry, to the nation. |

If there was any visible glitch at the convention, it came at the end of John Kerry's speech - when 100,000 balloons were supposed to drop. When the speech ended and the cheering began, a thousand pounds of confetti filled the air but the balloons didn't come down as planned. It took several minutes for them to finally be released. A DNC official later stated it was supposed to be that way - making for a nice long end to the evening. |

AP-NH--GOP-Phone Lines Benson on 2002 GOP phone jamming: 'This personally affected me' klmhofls CONCORD, N.H. - Republican Governor Benson says the jamming of Democratic phone banks on Election Day two years ago personally affected him -- and he says his election could have been damaged by it. Benson, who was elected governor in 2002 and is running for a second term, commented this afternoon. Yesterday, Chuck McGee -- the state Republican party's former executive director -- pleaded guilty in federal court to jamming the phone banks. In the governor's race, Benson defeated Democrat Mark Fernald by a large margin. But he says that the phone lines of firefighters who had endorsed him for governor were among those that were jammed. Benson says he wants to see a thorough investigation to make sure all of those responsible are held accountable. AP-NY-07-29-04 1500EDT AP-NH--GOP-Phone Lines, TOPS Former GOP director pleads guilty in phone-jamming case hmrstfls XX Adds lawyer's comment in 2nd graf XX CONCORD, N.H. - The former director of the New Hampshire Republican Party pleaded guilty today to plotting to jam Democratic phone banks on Election Day 2002. Chuck McGee was accused of arranging to have hundreds of hang-up calls made to phone lines installed to help voters get rides to the polls on November fifth, 2002. His lawyer says McGee has taken responsibility for his actions and realizes they were criminal and not Christian. McGee will be sentenced October 29th. The maximum he could get is five years in prison. McGee resigned early last year after news broke about the phone-jamming incident. The former president of the Virginia company also has pleaded guilty to hiring an Idaho firm to make the calls. AP-NY-07-28-04 1620EDT |
