Why doesn't the Washington Post?

I always thought that folks were making too much of a big deal of this whole thing and this released list only proves that was in fact the case. Thanks Rushern for putting this out there and hopefully, now, we can put this behind and start focusing on the important issues in this election.

I'm pretty sure this was a 2006 story but whatever. Dont get me wrong, I think we had a right to know but I hope the Post will write more about the issues and less about the political horse race stuff.

So dude is a straight up fraud. If you discount the $206K loan, he only raised $9K in contributions - from lobbyists at that!!! LOL This guys is the front runner for our county?? He was better off NOT releasing the list. The media got one right for a change. He's definitely not on the up and up if he's taking a loan, a loan folks, from the same people who got us in this economic mess - the real estate developers! And oh, this is only like his 3rd time running for the office and he already had $500K in debt from the 2006 race vs. Johnson. The blogs are destroying him over this. $206K in loans means no one believes in you but big business....hilarious.

Glen Ivey will regret dropping out. Looks like Geron Levi is going to be tough to beat. Here's a take from a blog really digging into the Baker story:
http://maryland-politics.blogspot.com/2010/03/bakers-secret-slate-money-revealed.html

Gerron Levi voted against domestic violence victims. Who wants her in office. She tried to go back and cover her tracks with a patronizing rebuttal, but she is just in for the status. We definitely don't need her in office. Let's get someone like Rushern Baker who has paid his dues. No more of these vulgar social climbers like Gerron Levi.

I agree with kite1101. Levi has a terrible voting record on womens issues. Domestic violence is a real issue and she obviously cares more about her trial lawyer buddies than she does battered women. No thanks.

So Baker gets caught with his slight of hand county one now slate transfer, in a typical man move he denies, denies, denies, (ladies sound familiar) then strategy two, change the subject, Levi a woman, doesn't care about women (we will see how much traction that one gets). Then in a pseudo take the high road posture, I am gonna spread the single interest money around to take the pledge. Sounds like a pledge to the special interests by the candidates who sign on. Looks like his right wing Tea Bagging friend Dr Wargotz, who thinks Obama is an illegal alien, is calling the shots.

I think the fact that Gerron Levi voted against victims of abuse will get a lot of traction. At the end of the day, victims of domestic violence are a bigger concern than campaign finance issues are in Prince Georges County. As a female, I am really disgusted by Ms. Levi's vote...and believe me to, once it known, all the women of Prince Georges County will be too. These are the issues that concern voters....and if Ms. Levi was the supposed public servant she says she is, then she would know that too.
