This is what Maryland Gov. Ehrlich said:
On the opening day of a Republican National Convention that will showcase a prominent Marylander to attract African-Americans, Gov. Robert L. Ehrlich Jr. today called the Democratic Party "racist" in its appeal to blacks.

Gov. Ehrlich, KISS MY...
... In Maryland, it was the previous Republican nominee, Ellen Sauerbry, who accepted an invitation to speak to a Black group, and then later "turned down" the invitation because her advisor said that speaking to a Black group would upset her base.
It is your Lt. Gov., Michael Steele, who has stated on Black radio stations in Maryland, and other radio stations in Maryland, that the GOP dropped the ball in not seeking the votes of Blacks.
So, how in the hell can Ehrlich then state what he stated?
And how can you, Michael Steele, back it up?
You sir, are talking out of the side of your neck!
