So in Maryland, where incumbent (R) governor Ehrlich is running steadily behind in the polls and (R) senate candidate Steele is close but still consistently down, the GOP has gone to homeless shelters in PA and DE, bussed people down and paid them to hand out "voter guides" that claim Ehrlich and Steele are DEMOCRATS.
Stop.
Go back. Read that again.
And then repeat after me: WHAT THE FUCK?
Republicans are bussing the homeless into a state - and paying them, so, hey, it's not a total loss, though it does represent a certain lack of GRASS ROOTS INTEREST - to hand out fraudulent, deceptive materials to fool people into thinking the Republican candidates are actually Democrats. It's a sign of how little hope the GOP has for a real win today, because they clearly believe this will help them get ahead, which implies everyone is voting for the Democrats anyway.
Best? They were met at the bus by the incumbent Governor's WIFE.
LOLBBQWTF!
As kos says, they have no ideas and they have no shame. All they have left is the desperate, shrieking need to hang onto power at all costs.
UPDATE:
More detail from the local paper. NO SHAME!
