Former Bush campaign official indicted: "James Tobin, former top Bush campaign official in New England, is accused of mounting a low-tech version of denial-of-service attack."

"A federal grand jury indictment released Wednesday charges Tobin with attempting to "disrupt communications" by clogging the Democrats' phones on Election Day through repeated hang-up calls. The four-count indictment also says Tobin targeted the Manchester Professional Firefighters Association's phones in an attempt to interfere with its get-out-the-vote effort."
