Adam Cohen writes for The New York Times: "When Mr. Raymond opened a political telemarketing firm, he was hired by a Republican challenging a New Jersey Democratic congressman. Mr. Raymond's company - in a plan he says he hatched with the challenger's advisers - called liberal Democrats and urged them to vote for the Green Party candidate. Those same advisers, he says, gave Mr. Raymond another assignment: to call white households asking them to vote for the Democrat, using the voice of, as he puts it, a 'ghetto black guy.' He also called union households, using voices with thick Spanish accents." Meanwhile, David Espo reports for The Associated Press, "In the final days of a close campaign, likely Democratic caucus-goers in Iowa report receiving phone calls providing unflattering information about all three of the party's major presidential hopefuls."
