The issue I raised the other day landed in the Baltimore Sun.

Doing Double Duty:

A sharp-eyed Dem out there recognized an older African-American woman in several TV ads for Gov. Robert Ehrlich - from a Michael Steele spot. (It's a Web-only ad on youtube.com, from Steele's announcement speech.)

"I could be on to something big here or something really, really small," writes somebody who goes by nickshepDEM on democraticunderground.com. The writer wonders if the woman, who criticizes Martin O'Malley on schools in one spot, is from Baltimore. "If she's not from the City, she has no credibility," he writes.

Either way, he continues, "I still find it kind of funny that Ehrlich and Steele have such little support in the African American community that they are forced to pass around this little old lady for photo ops and TV spots."

Ehrlich spokeswoman Shareese DeLeaver said the woman "is both an Ehrlich and Steele supporter." She declined to identify the woman by name, but said she believes she lives in Prince George's. Not that there's anything wrong with that, DeLeaver said.

"Maryland voters have an interest in all jurisdictions, whether they reside in that particular jurisdiction or not," she said.
