IN CAMPAIGN FOR CITY STATE’S ATTORNEY,
THE INCUMBENT PULLS OUT ALL THE STOPS

I am tough; I am smart; I am truthful
(whereas) he continues to lie.— Patricia C. Jessamy

DID THE CHALLENGER & THE COMMISH
SHOOT THEMSELVES IN THE FOOT?
Or was it Jessamy who did that to herself?

PRACTICALLY A HOUSEHOLD WORD

By Alan Z. Forman As the city state’s attorney repeatedly attacked her primary-election challenger for allegedly continuing “to lie” about her record, and the police commissioner who supports him removed two lawn signs within hours of the chief prosecutor’s call for an “independent fact finder” to determine at taxpayer expense whether the top cop had lied about a phone call, local news outlets began reporting at week’s end that the Baltimore political establishment was rallying “around Jessamy.”

But was this truly the case? and even if it was, does it really matter?

The implication of a headline in the Thursday editions of the Baltimore Sun — “Bealefeld removes campaign signs as political establishment rallies around Jessamy”— and the reports from other local media that followed was that challenger Gregg Bernstein and Police Commissioner Frederick Bealefeld had grossly miscalculated by posting lawn signs in the commissioner’s Southwest Baltimore yard touting the top cop’s support of the upstart challenger, whose name hardly anyone in the city even knew.

Which is precisely the point. http://investigativevoice.com/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=5571:lies-a-liars-bernstein-a-jessamy&catid=25:the-project&Itemid=44

....will debate the city's incumbent top prosecutor Pat Jessamy Thursday night. (I.V. File Photos)

city’s minority police organization hosts a debate between incumbent Patricia Jessamy and her opponent Gregg Bernstein.

The Vanguard Justice Society, which represents minority officers in the Baltimore Police Department, has scheduled a debate between the two contenders for Thursday at 6:30 p.m. at the Mt. Washington Conference Center in Northwest Baltimore.

Newly elected Vanguard Justice Society President Kenneth Butler said the organization scheduled the debate to give both its membership and the public a chance to hear both candidates’ views on fighting crime in the city.

RACE HAS BEEN HEATED

“We know this has been a heated race, so we thought it would be worthwhile," he said. "I want our members to hear both sides and from both candidates.”

The debate will not be open to the public, Butler said. However, local news media have been invited to attend.

The race for city state’s attorney has gone from moribund to heated in the past two weeks. On Thursday the two held a heated debate on radio station WYPR-FM.

Red Maryland - Richard E. Vatz: The Jessamy-Bernstein Debate: Substance to Bernstein; Style to Bernstein; Penalty Points Against Jessamy

The Jessamy-Bernstein Debate: Substance to Bernstein; Style to Bernstein; Penalty Points Against Jessamy – Likely Primary Election Winner: Jessamy

--Richard E. Vatz http://redmaryland.blogspot.com/2010/08/jessamy-bernstein-debate-substance-to.html

The August 12 debate between Patricia Jessamy and Gregg Bernstein on WYPR’s “Midday with Dan Rodricks” tells us a lot about political debates, and it also tells us a lot about the principals and their principles in the current race for City State’s Attorney in the Democratic primary.

When candidates have an unfriendly debate filled with unpleasant, personal attacks, the debate tends to be reported as generally nasty, with the implication being that “there is no love lost between these two,” or, in this case, described as their “frequently trading barbs,” in an otherwise excellent analysis in The Baltimore Sun.

The fact is that sometimes there is a major difference in the candidates in this regard. Yesterday’s ugly debate was one-sidedly nasty, even though both candidates were disdainful of the other... http://redmaryland.blogspot.com/2010/08/jessamy-bernstein-debate-substance-to.html
