In the 2002 Governor’s race, Bob Ehrlich’s campaign distributed a brochure at African American voting precincts that included a picture of Mr. Ehrlich, Congressman Elijah Cummings and other notable African American leaders - along with the caption:“Democrats for Ehrlich.” That assertion was not true.
In 2006, Bob Ehrlich’s campaign for Governor bused homeless people from Philadelphia on Election Day to distribute fliers designed to trick African American Democratic voters into voting for him by falsely suggesting that Ehrlich was backed by prominent African American Democratic leaders. This year, in a fundraising email, the Ehrlich campaign suggested that it is impossible that African-Americans will turn out in high numbers in 2010.

It's only appropriate that the Democrats should warn people of dirty tricks. After all, they are masterful!
Just what is an "African American leader"? Is that someone that convinces others that skin color matters when selecting representation? It is mindset that matters. I DO hear from the GOP side candidates that preach too much political talking points. The reality is that BOTH parties have candidates that represent PERSONAL interests over those that they have been elected to represent. That has been the problem with Biden, Castle, and now Coons. In Delaware, it's not as important who wins as it is who loses.
Hope that the DE readers understand what I am saying....
I still will not vote for the liberal O'malley.Cummings,go put your head where the sun dont shine,where it usually is.
