Referring to the now infamous ski mask mailer that was clearly not sent by anyone local Conway said, "What I am really bothered by is that no one on the local level in that party stood up and denounced it. Nobody. I've said to a couple of them, "When that came down your central committee, and you as a candidate, should have been up on your feet saying No. Whoa. We're not doing this here".
To their credit, the Salisbury Independent quoted Conway's opponent, Mayor Carl Anderton, who once again said that he had nothing to do with the mailer and that it should not have been sent.
Conway flat out lied in his answer and we can prove it. GO HERE and HERE.
What Conway knows is that it is ILLEGAL for campaigns to coordinate with outside groups. Anderton has told everyone that he didn't have anything to do with it and I believe him. The Daily Times interviewed the author of the mailer, some guy named Joe Cluster from Baltimore. He took full responsibility.
The case of "who sent the mailer" should be closed, but it's not for two reasons:
1. Norm Conway continues to lie about the mailer and pathetically tries to smear Anderton with it. After 28 years in office you'd think Norm could win an election without stooping to this level. It's shameful.
2. Carl is guilty of vigorously taking on the Democratic tax and spend establishment.
When you take on an incumbent liberal there is backlash. From some yahoo writing a fear based letter talking about a health facility closing if Conway is ousted to the President of SU, who makes over a quarter of a million dollars a year of taxpayer money, attempting to sway the votes of people who are out of work or making $10 an hour, if they are lucky enough to find jobs. The liberal establishments line these people up to say whatever it takes. It's not about truth to them. It's about power. They want power over your life. They want Annapolis to control more. Carl is a threat to that power so they are lining up to take shots at him. Whether the shots are based in truth doesn't matter. They only care if the shots are effective. That's it. It's unethical and immoral, but it is exactly what is happening.
Contrary to what Norm would have you believe, it is Carl who has stayed above the fray in his campaign. He has talked about jobs, taxes and out-of-control state spending so often he sort of sounds like a broken record. He has never once went after Norm for anything personal. Because that isn't who Carl Anderton is. Carl is a thoroughly decent family guy who sees a wrong in Annapolis and is trying to right it. Norm is a career politician who took Carl's challenge too lightly and is now down in the polls and trying anything he can, including lying, to try to continue his tax and spend ways.
Voting for Carl Anderton in this election is a no brainer.

You really want to get Carl elected AIN'T happening
"What I am really bothered by is that" Conway instead of discrediting the mailer on it's content chooses to attack whomever he perceives to be attached to it ad nauseum I might add.
Yeah we get it Conway. You are a nothing who has contributed nothing your entire worthless career (and yes you've made a career out of politics) so you continue to dwell on BS.
Conway looks like he may nor make it until tuesday lol.
I hope Carl gets elected, too.
3:24's response is smarmy.
3:24, Oh Really, why? Because the Daily Times is supposed to put out an article on Sunday attacking him?
Well, those days have changed for two reasons.
1. No one can trust anything the Daily Times says any more. If they aren't covering up stories, then they refuse to publish IMPORTANT information the PAYING public should be aware of.That is, BEFORE the elections and not AFTER.
2. LOOK AROUND! Look at your neighbors or neighborhood. NO ONE gets the paper any more. They are no longer influential.
When our viewers see the actual traffic Salisbury News has enjoyed they'll sh!t a brick. Again, this is not because we're all over Facebook or Twitter begging people to come here and whoring ourselves like WBOC, WMDT, the DT's and other Bloggers. People are coming here because they WANT TO.
Carl Anderton is a very good man, father and husband. I have stated for MANY years now, Carl is the future of the republican party here on the Shore.
LOL Im curious what this supposed attack piece on Carl will be - There is nothing to attack him on!
What, are they going to accuse him of bringing jobs to the area? Raise hell because he supports law enforcement? Riot because he doesn't raise taxes and funds road projects without raising taxes? LOL ok, go ahead and complain about that.
I thought that nose belonged to Josh Hastings.
If all Republicans were like Carl Anderton, nobody would be in any other party. I'm a Democrat saying that. He reminds me of the old Republican guard of Maryland. No ultra-right wing nut job stuff, many would call them RINO's today. They were respectful and common sense conservative, not the vicious stuff you see today.
People are tired of the extremists and lack of integrity in both parties. I stay a Democrat trying to vote some sense back into the party, but I'm ready to give up and go Independent or unaffiliated or whatever you call it.

I am a Republican and I have known Norm Conway for many years. The way he has been treating me is extremely horrible and I will never forget this. This proves that Norman Conway is hateful and despises all Republicans. This man is in it for him and him only. He hates Republican bottom line.
