Dec. 29, 2006: This was one weird year Doug Tallman, Gazette

Dec. 29, 2006: This was one weird year Doug Tallman, Gazette

9Jan2018: My note - - I was doing file maintenance on the top stories from years past and came across this one from Doug Tallman. It is one my favorite year-end stories.

As a matter of fact, it is one of my favorite stories, among many favorite stories written by Doug Tallman. Doug runs neck and neck with Katherine Heerbrandt, Bryan Sears, and Carrie Knauer, on my list of favorite story writers over the years. Just saying.

So, anyway, Doug wrote this in the Gazette on Dec. 29, 2006 – and I was surprised to see that it is still up on the web. (I wish my old stories were still on the web – but that is another subject for another day. For me, 2000 stories later, and sadly only a fraction are still on the web…. Sad.

So, Doug wrote: “This was one weird year — and don’t forget the rats! - From ogling to challenging fitness for the office, 2006 was full of unexpected twists and turns,” Friday, Dec. 29, 2006 by Douglas Tallman, Staff Writer

ANNAPOLIS — There were times in 2006 when it was hard to keep a straight face.

It was the year a political icon asked a comely aide to walk away so he could get another view of her derriere. On Election Day, voters asked the icon to do the same.

It was the year a quick-thinking politician administered the Heimlich maneuver to a choking man, who turned out to be his political rival.

It was the year an attorney general candidate was barred from running. Days before Election Day, another AG candidate faced a similar challenge.

And it was the year that the renovation of Annapolis office space led to rats roaming the hallways.

‘‘It looks like a Mel Brooks movie,” said D. Bruce Poole, a former House majority leader who observed the state capital’s shenanigans from a safe distance, his law office in Hagerstown.

Doug Tallman: Republicans licking chops at O'Malley-Ehrlich rematch

I have always liked Doug Tallman’s work – and I especially like when a writer does his homework and gives me the numbers:

Republicans licking chops at O'Malley-Ehrlich rematch

But former governor's No. 1 hurdle could be mathematics

by Douglas Tallman Staff Writer Friday, April 2, 2010

http://www.gazette.net/stories/04022010/polinew194357_32549.php

ANNAPOLIS — For Robert L. Ehrlich Jr., November will be all about the math.

The putative Republican gubernatorial nominee has to either convert about 30 percent of Democratic voters to select the minority party. Or, he has to ensure a high turnout with seven of 10 occasional voters casting ballots for Ehrlich.

Those are the views of political observers contemplating this year's governor's race now that Ehrlich has announced he wants his old job back.

"I think the key for Ehrlich is being able to replicate the one thing he did in 2002, and that one thing is that he got 30 percent of the Democratic vote on Election Day," said Patrick Gonzales, president of Gonzales Research & Marketing Strategies of Annapolis.

Of Maryland's 3.4 million registered voters, more than 1.9 million — or 57 percent — are Democrats. The 902,000 Republicans account for 27 percent, while 479,000 unaffiliated voters represent about 14 percent.

"He can get 100 percent of independents, 100 percent of the Republicans, and if he only gets 15 percent of the Democrats, he loses," Gonzales said.

But the hitch to basing the campaign on snagging Democrats is money, said Donald Murphy, a lobbyist and former Republican lawmaker. It would take a lot of expensive advertising to convince a Democrat to vote Republican.

Instead, the campaign would need to go after "occasional" voters — voters who usually avoid midterm elections.

"People who are pissed and don't vote in those midterm elections are coming out this time," Murphy said. They'll be more likely to vote Republican because the party is not in power, and Ehrlich might be able to draw 70 percent of them, he said.

"What they need to do is initiate a ground game like Republicans have never seen before, and use the infrastructure of these tea parties and so forth and motivate people to come to vote," Murphy said.

Recent articles by Doug Tallman


Lawrence J. Hogan Jr. bowed out of the Republican gubernatorial race Monday, calling on his former boss, Robert L. Ehrlich Jr., to enter the campaign against Gov. Martin O'Malley.

Lt. Gov. Anthony G. Brown said Friday that he didn't think Ehrlich had much of a record to run on, in case he does try to reclaim the governorship.

Also on the election front, Carmen Amedori, a former delegate, announced she was running for U.S. Senate.

[…]

Meanwhile, Amedori would be the third Republican to file a candidacy for U.S. Senate. Daniel W. McAndrew and Jim Rutledge, both of Forest Hill, have filed to run as Republican candidates for senator, according to the Maryland State Board of Elections. Eric Wargotz, a Queen Anne's County commissioner and pathologist, also is planning to run for the seat.

"It's not something on a whim. It's something I've been wanting all my life," said Amedori, who spent five and a half years in the House of Delegates representing a Carroll County district before Ehrlich appointed her to the Maryland Parole Commission.

The winner of the Sept. 14 Republican primary is likely to face U.S. Sen. Barbara Mikulski, who is seeking a fifth term.

Defeating Mikulski, a Baltimore Democrat, could be an uphill climb for any Republican. A January poll by Gonzales Research and Marketing of Annapolis put her approval rating at 64 percent, higher than President Barack Obama and Gov. Martin O'Malley.

"Sen. Mikulski has been in office for four terms. I'm sure she has helped a lot of constituents. I'm sure her constituent service has been excellent. But they have not met Carmen Amedori," Amedori said. "I know how to provide for my constituency. And I would hope that anyone who has covered a seat for that long would have that kind of approval rating. But that's not going to deter me."

Amedori, 54, said she would work to remove excess regulations.

"For every law or regulation that people are out there supporting, I would work hard to repeal three or four others," she said.

Amedori served in the House of Delegates until 2004, when Ehrlich appointed her to the Parole Commission. That appointment ended in January.

20060404 Give Credit Where Credit is Due by Brad Friedman

“Give Credit Where Credit is Due.” by Brad Friedman

Editor and Publisher post from April 4th, 2006

Read the Editor and Publisher post from April 4th, 2006: “Give Credit Where Credit is Due.”

http://www.editorandpublisher.com/eandp/columns/mailto:letters@editorandpublisher.com

[June 28th, 2007 UPDATE: I think it is a dead link, darn it. Or - It may be behind a pay-wall at this point? Or maybe I made a mistake when I copied the link? But I can’t bring it up for the life of me… And that’s a shame because the rest of the piece is quite profound. Brad Friedman nailed this issue in a highly readable and thoughtful manner and this matter of the mainstream media not giving on-line journalists adequate credit for their work continues to be a problem. Go to the end of this post and you’ll get a glimpse….]

Thanks to the wonderful folks – and a great editor - who carry one of my columns, Patuxent Publishing, I am, perhaps, the first blogger to be credentialed by Maryland State government to cover the Maryland General Assembly.

With the exception of some isolated incidents with individuals with a general “attitude problem,” I have had very little problem with organizations to respond or cooperate on articles for the blog.

However, when I broke the Michael Olesker (a columnist for the Baltimore Sun) plagiarism story, (”Who is Max Cleland”) the Associated Press, would not credit me. Other local publications did – but AP went out their way to avoid citing my column in an on-line columnist web site, “The Tentacle,”

If you will recall, I’m the one who called-out Michael Olesker… Doug Tallman with the Gazette was a stand-up guy and gave me credit. The Associated Press, Washington Post and the Baltimore Sun refused to acknowledge my work or that I exist… And I put many-many-many exhausting hours of work into that piece…

In a Tentacle column I wrote on December 21st, 2005, “Who is Max Cleland?,” I called to my readers’ attention that Mr. Olesker had written a column on December 12th, 2005, “Continuing the pattern of dirty politics,” in which he failed to properly attribute a portion of his column to words – intellectual property – that had been written by Peter Carlson in The Washington Post, on Thursday, July 3, 2003, on page C01.

On December 24th, 2005, the Baltimore Sun ran a correction. On December 27th, 2005, Mr. Tallman contacted me and he ran a story on the matter on December 30th, 2005. On January 3rd, 2006 Mr. Olesker resigned. Gadi Dechter, writing, at the time, for the Baltimore City Paper, published a piece on January 4th, 2006, “Sincere Flattery?”

On a related front, in spite of the fact that colleagues get upset with me when I say this; I found Mr. Olesker’s explanation of the matter plausible. I think that the Baltimore Sun threw him under a bus.

[January 15th, 2007 UPDATE: That said, to his discredit, Mr. Olesker did not take responsibility for the alleged and made the entire matter worse… America is a great country and by and large, if you admit your mistake, apologize and offer a plan as to how you will address it in the future, folks are extraordinarily forgiving. Mr. Olesker simply offered a complicated explanation and then said, in essence, everybody does it – so no one is guilty.

Ay caramba.]

But on the other equally big issue - - apparently as you can read here, the story is murky as to whether or not the Associated Press credits on-line journalists… In my case, there was no murky about it. They did not credit my work…

Give Credit Where Credit is Due

http://www.editorandpublisher.com/eandp/columns/mailto:letters@editorandpublisher.com

Mainstream news sites fell in love with blogs and citizen journalists last year--but this year they still often fail to credit them when following up on some of their most credible scoops.

By Brad Friedman

(April 01, 2006) -- Recently, the Associated Press carried an article which was based largely on material uncovered through the diligence, research and eagle eyes of the folks at the Web-based news site Raw Story. Though the AP has now admitted to using Raw Story's original reporting, they failed to give credit of any sort to the site.

When called on it by the editor at Raw Story, they said that it was AP policy not to credit blogs. After it was found that they do credit blogs on occasion, they modified their comments to say "We do credit blogs that we know," but added they hadn't heard of Raw Story.

Never mind that Raw Story has been credited by name in dozens of leading newspapers around the country. Or that it is not even a "blog" -- whatever that means, and whatever that has to do with it.

Journalism is journalism is journalism. […]
