Yay.
It's a good day to be a Democrat.
ETA: From
brapolitics here-- The Washington Post is reporting that not only did the Ehrlich and Steele campaigns finance misleading sample ballots that asserted that Kweisi Mfume (former head of the NAACP) and Jack Johnson were supporting them, there were also ballots passed out representing Ehrlich and Steele as Democrats.
Ehrlich and Steele knew that in order to get re-elected/elected, they had to appeal to minority voters. O'Malley has a firm lock on Baltimore City, and so the next largest minority population is the heavily-Democratic Prince George's County... right where those misleading sample ballots were passed out.
Not only did Erlich and Steele knowingly distribute misleading election literature to a specifically-targeted audience, but they also recruited from Pennsylvania homeless shelters at $100/day to do it.
It's absolutely fucking reprehensible. Thank God(s) that those lying bastards are getting the boot.
