Ehrlich was a total fool to hire that race baiting piece of human garbage Henson.

was there anyone dumb enough to believe one of these robocalls? i know that isn't the point. i think you have to be really dumb to take one of these calls and then to believe them. when i see a politician calling my number i don't answer.

How is Henson any more of a race baiter than Paul "Oreos As Thick As Locusts" Schurick? The fact that Henson was willing to help suppress the black vote for $111,000 tells me that he's more of a whore than a race baiter?

Massoni and Ehrlich are working for the Washington office of law firm King & Spalding
Any comment from this firm regarding their corrupt employees?

So this was done by Ehrlich's top election aide, yet the ex-governor isn't accused of anything?

You think they made those robocalls without his knowledge? Charge him with the rest of them, there's no way he didn't know. Scumbags, all of 'em.

"It's unclear what Schurick is now doing."

It's not at all unclear what Schurick is now doing. He's sh--ting his pants.

I love how Ehrlich isn't indicted, too. Everyone hates a guy who didn't get caught more than the ones who did.

I'm sure he'll get off with probation or something. But the stink of that administration will never go away. He's an Agnew for a new generation. We should name the tollboths after him, too.

How does Erhlich get off the hook for this? He's the sleaze bag that set the tone for his campaign.

"Any comment from this firm regarding their corrupt employees?"

Any comment from you that neither was indicted?

Ehrlich and Massoni are corrupt.

Yeah and I bet they were both involved in the last election of Ehrlich. You know the one where they posted bulletins telling people in Baltimore that the election was moved to Wednesday. And that if they owed utilities bills there would be Baltimore police officers on hand to arrest them.

Republicans who scream about voter fraud by Democrats and want to limit the access of people to voting for this restrictive IDS scam are usually the ones we find have committed voter fraud. Look at Romney voting in MI where he hasn't lived in years and giving his sons address....

When are they going to bring down 90 percent of Maryland Governmentcheating lying thieving government officals. This is the show I want to see. Maryland is the most socialist liberal disgusting state to livein the entire country. The scumbag polititians here ave destroyed this state...

"Ehrlich and Massoni are corrupt. "

Empty allegations from an empty headed lib.

Ehrlich came across a certain way during his last election, that I was wondering what was going on. It was mainly in his attitude towards people that supported him.

As far a I can recollect, Henson worked against Ehrlich in his first election and when I heard Henson mentioned after the election, I felt that Ehrlich was a fool for hiring a former paid enemy.

While motivations have been speculated on, I wonder if Henson was there to actually inflame black people to motivate them to head for the polls, while taking Ehrlich's money.

That makes more sense to me, then what Gansler speculates. There is a huge lesson in this. Don't hire people who were declared enemies, no matter what they say.

"deceptive" robocalls? And in the eyes of the Sun this lieing,petulent,arrogant Governor OweMalley they helped with their deceptive articles....well I guess he's some Saint. Talk about convenient and invented Journalism.

If they're going to do indictments then... where is the indictment for Susan Turnball for the MD Dems hosting 'free food and drink' if you voted across the street at the early voting center?!

This is obviously Bush's fault.

This part of the article says it all: "The Schurick Doctrine". This campaign consultant has a written plan on how to systematically surpress minority votes. Apparently, its one that's been used before and that certain candidates are willing to purchase to ensure that they're elected not on their merits but on the size of their campaign funds. Essentially Henson and Schurick anre given large sums of money to surpress voting. Is this the American way or the way of Free-Market systems!? Next time a story appears about foreign dictators doing these very undemocratic things to win elections, remember that our American elected officials are NO BETTER - again nothing has touched Erlich.

read the indictment. Massoni's greasy Squire pizza hands are all over it. Ask any of Ehrlich's politcal opponets about his dirty tricks. Sarah Palin was the smartest one of endorse hisprimary opponent.

I have asked it once and I will ask it again: The law explicitly states you cannot offer 'reward or offer of reward...for voting'. Why hasn't the Office of the State Prosecutor launched investigations into official offerings of food, drink, and entertainment by the MDP for individuals who displayed 'I voted' stickers? These offerings were made via festivals held across the street from early voting precincts and they fly in the face of the same law used here. I also question the media's retitence to investigate the matter beyond a simple blog blurb. These robocalls were horrible, but persecution and prosecution in Maryland--by media and legal officials--has sadly turned into a one-sided affair.

If Nixon, Madoff, Enron, and the mob taught us anything, it's that a culture of corruption very often starts at the top. Defenders of Ehrlich should pull out a history book.

The clowns who were indicted are pawns in a bigger game. It will be fun to see if they fold under pressure and give up the guy who gave the orders..

@ Water

You do see the difference between trying to encourage people to vote and trying to discourage people from voting, right?

This is an encouraging prosecution. Republicans are the vote suppressers and the determined cheaters about minority voting and they have been for years but are getting worse now.
