The latest from the rumor mill:
Governor Ehrlich will begin airing two new 'devistating' TV ads this week. Some have dubbed these ads as his 'Hail Mary' last ditch effort to win over some of O'Malley's supporters.
More after the jump.
The first ad will feature former Police Commissioner Daniel. In the ad he criticizes O'Malley's zero-tolerance approach to law enforcement. He goes on to accuse O'Malley's policies of leading to the mass arrests of `innocent' civilians.
Does anyone else find it extremely odd that Ehrlich bashes O'Malley for not doing enough to fight crime one day and the very next day he bashes O'Malley for doing too much?
The second ad and probably the most appalling thus far will feature the lone survivor of the Dawson family. More on the Dawson family:
Angela Dawson was the most prominent member of a family -- five children, herself, and husband Carnell -- who were all murdered in Baltimore, Maryland, on October 16, 2002. After Dawson had repeatedly alerted police to drug dealing, assault, and other crime in her East Baltimore neighborhood of Oliver, she and her family died after her home was firebombed. A neighbor, Darrell L. Brooks -- once a page in the Baltimore City Council chamber -- pled guilty to the crimes and now serves a life
Numerous efforts to reclaim and rebuild Oliver in the name of the Dawson family have been undertaken by politicians, activists, and ordinary citizens. Mayor Martin O'Malley, U.S. Rep. Elijah Cummings, State Senator Nathaniel McFadden, and the action group known as Baltimoreans United in Leadership Development (BUILD) have worked in individual and collective ways to ensure the Dawson family a lasting public memory.
So this is what this campaign has come down to - exploiting family members of murder victims for political gain.
