Lichtman, wife, and campaign manager arrested??

I heard the story on WTOP radio. Can't find an online link.

It seems they were arrested for trespassing at the MPT studios at the time of tonight's debate. Him, his wife, and his campaign manager.

Anyone else hear this?

campaign worker were arrested for trespassing. The cops werent being gentle either.

Josh Rales is now claming he will do whatever it takes to bail them out.


Talk about a three ring circus...

Josh and all getting in the debates. It was fun to watch the silly Cardin supporters every time a camera went on they swarmed toward it like a moth to a light. After the press conference when Licthman went into MPT, Rales and his supporters would not even cross the street, not sure why. It is sad to me that people have to fight tooth and nail to get equal political rights these days, even to get in something like a debate, and lets face the truth that debates are meaningless in terms of substance. I don't think all 18 primary candidates should have been allowed to debate, but Rales, Lichtman, Rasmusin, even Kaufman should have been. All 4 of them are at smart and provide a different POV and substance.

Exclusion of them from the debate was democratically immoral and symbolic of the falling of America. Shame on MPT for waisting taxpayer dollars on a immoral, debate like that one.

My favorite moment was when Kevin shouted at Rales to bail Allen out. What was he gonna say with the cameras rolling.

I saw it on the local news last night, after spotting the teaser with Allan being led off in handcuffs. I really like Allan Lichtman, and among the candidates he was my second choice. I considered him over Mfume, but not for long. I hated seeing that happen, though I suspect Lichtman and his wife and campaign staffer were aware of the possible consequences. As the police were trying to get them out of the building you could hear Lichtman's wife - Karyn Strickler yelling out for him to "go limp", as she was lying on the floor.

The staffer was not supposed to get arrested.
