Baltimore, MD (October 20, 2010) -- In case you missed it, Jayne Miller of WBAL-TV reported last night that former Governor Bob Ehrlich may have illegally contracted to bus in paid out-of-state workers, many of them African-American and homeless, in an attempt to improperly influence the 2006 election.
Asked about the more than $300,000 in payments to Allied Berton LLC, Ehrlich answered that he didn't recall the payments. His campaign did not respond to a request for an explanation of those payments. Asked if he would engage in such activities again, Ehrlich refused to answer the question, replying only that "Democrats do it all the time."
Watch the story here.
This is not the first time reporters have questioned Ehrlich's apparent attempts to deceive and mislead African-American voters. In 2006, the Washington Post ran a series of stories on this very issue. Ehrlich has refused to provide information about his campaign's activities and, perhaps more alarmingly, has refused to rule out using similar tactics this year.

What a sorry state of affairs we have in Maryland....these two snakes (neither one can tell the truth and BOTH are an embarrassment to themselves and to politicians--- and THAT really requires effort) are the BEST TWO PEOPLE WE COULD COME UP WITH to run for governor???
Why would anyone want to run for office when the idealogues have turned our election process into a referendum on who's the most "evil, tyrannical, baby-killing, starve the poor, elite, kick grandma down the stairs, racist, lunatic" in the country.
nobody cared when dead people voted for Parris Glendening... oh wait, I forgot, he was a democrat so it was ok.
Very true, 12:35. I lived in Baltimore for several years and learned one unmistakable lesson from Jayne Miller and her fellow TV reporters:
Republicans bad.
Democrats good.
