I wrote this mainly so that I could get a handle on the story and to place the most significant information (with citations, of course) in a single post. Those of you who have been following this story won't find it of much use. I hope that newbies to the story will find the information valuable.

Excellent work!

I often wondered what happened to the NCPAC/MD4Bush caper.

IMHO WAPO is up to its usual CR*PO and could very well have instigated the whole setup....between one of their lefty reporters and O'Doherty.

If the Dems start accusing the Republicans of "dirty tricks" I hope this all turns into an ad.

I have been following this story and I found your post VERY helpful in sorting out this mess. I happen to live in a conservative part of Maryland and would appreciate your permission to forward your write-up to my US Congressman. I believe he may find it useful as well.

Thank you!

You did a good job of summarizing the story. You reached the same conclusions that I did, at 4 a.m. when I revised my story on the same subject, on Newsbusters.org Click below for my take, which is the same as yours except I also picked up on the Wa-Po's denial of knowledge, which raises more questions than it answers.

FYI, that link to Open Secrets - the expenditures notated to him are for payroll for the Democratic Party itself, for 2004 - and is 'mistakenly' filed under "R" as in "Ryan O'Doherty" instead of "O'Doherty, Ryan" (lastname, firstname) as are all others. Hiding in plain sight??

It should provide an amusing and highly entertaining ride for all involved
(as far as safaris through Maryland liberal politics generally go - i.e., Mr. Toad will be driving).

That is a really good executive summary.

As late as yesterday the remedial Baltimore Sun was still trying to spin the Steffen angle to this story (as an example of Republican dirty tricks). Can you say "bias"?
