Political Ads

New campaign criticizes O'Malley for police treatment of blacks -Baltimore Sun

The guv's race for MD is heating up, let the fun begin!

Running for Guv, Mayor O'Malley's ads consist of him reading books to his son while claiming a rise in the educational standards in Baltimore City's Schools and a 40% decrease in crime. Dropping the passing scores to 60% instead of raising the quality and atmosphere means more kids will pass...see? I'd like to mention O'Malleys kids do not attend Baltimore City Public Schools, they don't attend school in the City period because the educational standards are deplorable not to mention the "disappearance" of 58 million dollars from the school system.

Current Guv Ehrlich's latest ad slams prospective Guv- Mayor O'Malley's micromanaged PD arrest rates. In a City which is beginning to mirror 1960s Mississippi, 1 out of every 6 residents has been arrested. Out of those, 54, 000 + arrestees were released without criminal charges. The PD is currently being sued by the ACLU and NAACP for false arrests, its own members for discrimination, and just about everyone else under the sun.

It should get pretty heated once monetary disappearances, political contributions, political ploys, the school system, fudged crime statistics, city contracts and contractors gets thrown in the mix.
