How did they get the guy's real name?

NCPAC?

Nobody knows for sure (even NCPAC, as of early Wednesday morning). But NCPAC dropped enough hints in this forum that anyone who really wanted to could have figured out his identity. He made some posts identifying him as close to Governor Ehrlich, and his screen name would allow any reporter with half a brain to narrow down the list of who he was. The Washington Post reporter may have just guessed right, called and asked.

At one point he mentioned being at a certain press con. The MSM who were at the same con, if they cross referenced NCPAC here, could have figured it all out.
