Last week's so-called "Troopers for Townsend" rally generated an underwhelming response among members of the state's law enforcement community.
A press release issued by the Townsend camp boasted that 150 troopers were in attendance. However, videotape of the event revealed only 35 people, one third of which were members of the press.
The event was plagued with problems from the beginning. According to reports received by the Ehrlich Campaign from individual troopers, the event was inappropriately promoted using a flier placed in troopers' in-boxes at each police barracks. Further, the address labels were generated using an internal personnel database.
The day before the event, two of the groups touted as organizers of the event publicly repudiated their involvement with the Townsend Campaign.
"Rank-and-file members of the state's law enforcement community overwhelmingly support the Ehrlich-Steele ticket," Bob Ehrlich stated. He noted that FOP lodges currently pledged to the Townsend ticket represent less than 25 percent of FOP members statewide.

Aren't the Troopers supposed to protect the Governor? It's amazing that KKKT would still want the job with only 25% of their support. What does that tell ya?
"Let me tell you"
It reminds me of how no one wanted White House duty when Clinton was in office.
