Exactly. If someone is that stupid to not know, then that is their own fault. Why must we continually be required to hold the hands of the Democrats to vote? In many cases, they vote and can't even read. Geez.

Wow, so MFume or however it is spelled supports Steele? I knew his son did, and it was suppose to be a backhanded support, but if this is true, then Steele will win.

Jesus! This is like satire. Doesn't anyone read things?

NO!!!

Mfume's son did endorse Steele, but Mfume himself DID NOT. But the brochure lies (like it lied to you!) and tells voters that Mfume did endorse both Steele and Ehrlich.

I can't see the whole brochure but where does it say Mfume and company endorsed Steele?

THEY ARE NOT DEMOCRATS FOR STEELE-EHRLICH!

1 of them endorsed Steele -only-. That's it. Nothing else is true in any way.

You know, you keep saying that, then why not point out who supports who.

OK, I will for you since you are to lame to

The article says

Curry has endorsed Steele

Now, you could of done that instead of posting 5 times some crap.

Sort of lame if they bused in hired blacks from out of state to hand out literature - I actually now suspect this may have been the case with two guys I saw standing outside my polling site.

To be fair, many campaigns on both sides seem to be using these paid pollworkers, often gathered from the streets and given money to work on election day. I saw it a lot during the primary (voted absentee for general). You can often tell that they have no real connection with the campaign.

It's legit, actually. It's a simple brochure headlined "Ehrlich-Steele Democrats" followed by 3 photos of black leaders, including Kweisi Mfume, followed by "There are our choices." The only thing true is that one of the 3 are Steele Democrats. Other than that, it's a total lie.

The flyer has photos of three black leaders in Maryland. One of those pictured is Mfume. The brochure is titled "Ehrlich-Steele Democrats" and subtitled as "Official Voter Guide"

On the back is a list of candidates who to vote for, mostly (I'm assuming) are Republicans.

This leads one to believe the three black leaders pictured are all Democrats who endorse Steele/Ehrlich.

It says it on the front. "Ehrlich-Steele Democrats" followed by 3 photos of black leaders, including Kweisi Mfume, followed by "These are our choices." It's pretty straightforward what those three sections together are meant to communicate.

A total lie? Well, as Steny Hoyer is a candidate I'll agree. I think he's barely breathing let alone a viable candidate.

Other than that, um, ok.

If a candidate is identified as Democrat in Prince George's County, it will get him votes. Since the voting machine party affiliation is in smaller type, it will be very good for the returns of the GOP.

Because no one is reading what I wrote. The same stupid replies are being posted by people who don't read the article and merely reply to the title of the thread.

Ah, It's what they "are meant to communicate".

I got over that phase a long time ago. I tend to read things nowadays.

Maybe they meant to do it. He is black, I assume everyone on their list is black.

Don't be dense. If you have those three sections grouped as they are, what message do you get from it other than that those three are supporting Ehrlich-Steele?

Don't be a nimrod. You're reading things that are not there. First you claim that those three "endorsed" Ehrlich-Steele where there is no such language on the brochure.

If you wish to give aid and comfort to the enemy, I'll give you Teddy's campaign HQ number.

Ditto. If you don't know who you are voting for by now, you don't deserve to vote.

Hi, GSC:

I was handed one of these sample ballots outside DuVal High School about an hour ago, before entering the school to vote.

I took great and loud pleasure in chastising the young man who stuck the sample in my hand. Then voted the solid Republican line.

Jack.
