Who at the White House was talking with political operative James Tobin on the day of the New Hampshire phone jamming, Paul asked earlier? The Hotline on Call‘s Marc Ambinder puts his money on Alicia Davis.
During the 2002 elections Davis was northeast regional director in the White House’s political office, Ambinder says, so she would be the logical person for Tobin to coordinate with. In a phone conversation, Ambinder said he had also spoken with knowledgeable insiders in the past who had confirmed his suspicions.
What does Davis say about all this? That’s what we’d like to know. Davis left the White House in 2004 to work for the Republican National Committee; after the election she took an appointee slot at the Commerce Department, according to CongressDaily. Commerce told us she left “four or five months ago” for the RNC. The RNC political office in D.C. confirmed she worked there, “but not out of this office.”
