BALTIMORE -- For the first time, the operators of a California-based Web site are revealing they have evidence that an e-mail address from the Maryland Democratic State Party is associated with MD4BUSH.
WBAL-TV 11 News I-Team reporter David Collins said the operators of FreeRepublic.com are not revealing the name behind MD4BUSH. But this is the first time that they are suggesting the state democratic party is associated with the MD4BUSH account on their Web site.
Jim Robinson, the president of the conservative Web site, issued the following statement: "Free Republic has evidence that an mddems.org (Maryland Democratic Party) e-mail address is associated with the MD4BUSH account. This is not just coincidence."
They also call on the account holder to come clean.
Free Republic has the electronic trail associated with the saga of MD4BUSH.

Last week, the name of Ryan O'Doherty, a former official with the state Democratic Party who left that job in January, surfaced publicly in connection with the MD4BUSH mystery. That happened when the governor's lawyer forwarded an e-mail with O'Doherty's name on it to the committee investigating the governor's firing practices.

The I-Team caught up with O'Doherty outside the Baltimore Metropolitan Council, where's he's held a newly created job for the past nine months. The agency is publicly funded, with close ties to the mayor and county executives.
O'Doherty is a friend of Steve Kearney, one of the mayor's top aides. Sources said Kearney first tried to get O'Doherty hired in City Hall. Kearney told 11News he couldn't remember if he provided any help.
Collins reported in response to Free Republic's disclosure, Josh White, the executive director of the state Democratic Party, said how could anyone take the word of a right-wing Website that wants nothing more than to help the governor.

I LOVE the weasel words Ryan is using...how wonderful to see him twist! But the last line of the report is such a classic--O, how they're cracking up! I have news for you, Josh, you can take Jim's word on it because he's HONEST...you might want to try it for a change!
MD4Bush is Yoda? LOL!
This ratchets it up a bit. The next step is the US Attorney or other Attorneys.
I have not been following this... Can you sum it up in a couple sentences for me??
You don't have to take their word, collins, they have evidence.

O'Doherty, in a written statement last week, said he didn't write the e-mail and claimed that the e-mail address on it is incorrect.
Collins reported that indeed it does appear to be slightly different from an e-mail address O'Doherty publicly used while at the Democratic Party.
But through a public review, 11 News has obtained other e-mails apparently written by O'Doherty while he worked for the party. Those e-mails bear the same address as the one that appeared on the Feb. 8 letter sent to supporters.
That he received for services rendered, I wonder....
