Biden N.H. chair arrested
By Brian Lawson, PolitickerNH.com ReporterThe New Hampshire campaign chairman of U.S. Sen. Joe Biden's presidential campaign has been arrested for violating terms of a court order, The Citizen is reporting.
State Rep. Jim Ryan (D-Franklin), who chaired Biden's campaign during the New Hampshire primary, was arrested Tuesday and is currently being held in lieu of $9,675 cash-only bail.
In 2006 Ryan signed a court order saying her would pay $9,675 by May 2007. The money was related to a 1996 case when he was found guilty of violating terms of his probation from a 1992 case.

Quote of the Day
“In this era of crisis, it is important that all Americans step up in service to our country. In these next five years, the leading national issues will surely be the creation of new jobs, the economy, finance and financial regulation, energy, the environment, infrastructure and foreign policy,” Bestani said in a press release. “I have been privileged to have had a thirty-five year career which has given me high level experience in each of these complex fields. I think I would be remiss if I did not come forward and once again offer to serve our country.”

yay palin
I bet Palin's state chair won't get arrested... on to victory!!!!!!
I beleived Jim Ryan to have
I beleived Jim Ryan to have been a man of integrity. If these charges yield a quilty verdict, then I will be very dissapointed. I'm a die hard Republican, but I know Ryan and respect him and I know the best interests of his district were always in mind.
Palin herself is under investigation
But Palin herself might get arrested. She's under investigation for strong-arming state law enforcement officials in a case involving her sister's ex-husband.
Intergrity??? This man has
Intergrity??? This man has NO intergrity as one can plainly see. I will be surprised if we dont learn of more crimainal activity from him.
