Womble Carlyle, North Carolina's largest law firm, is known for having several prominent Democrats in its firm — most notably former Gov. Jim Hunt and Burley Mitchell, former chief justice of the state Supreme Court.
That apparently is not the case in Maryland.
The Maryland Democratic Party issued a news release with the following headline: “Ehrlich's Womble Carlyle: Law Firm or GOP Political Action Committee,” reports Rob Christensen.
The Maryland Democratic Party is alleging that former Maryland Gov. Bob Ehrlich — a Republican who created a Maryland office for Womble Carlyle earlier this year — and the firm’s Maryland-based staff is behind “a totally anonymous and controversial smear website.”
Erlich, who lost to Democrat Martin O’Malley in November, told the Baltimore Examiner that he and his staff did not know who was behind the website, but “we certainly applaud their efforts.”
