Pretty disturbing poll released this week...

Ariel & Ethan, LLC:

O'Malley 64%
Ehrlich 16%
Undecided 21%

Results look great, right? Wrong, this poll was composed of 402 African American Democratic likely voters in Maryland (October 11 through 13, 2006).

There is some good news about this poll, though. What I'm hearing is some local African American candidates, ex-candidates, and community leaders (Wayne Curry is one) who have axes to grind with O'Malley sponsored the poll. Some think it's a ploy to pressure O'Malley into promising cabinet positions to these people in return for their help over the final 2 weeks of the campaign.

1. yeah

That poll - especially in Maryland - should be around 90% for O'Malley
