Sun and Capital Cover Cohen

Our two newspapers each devoted ink to candidate Josh Cohen recently, one purporting to be a news article, the other not even attempting to be anything but a puff piece. The Capital's piece attempted to show that Cohen has his critics, but as the blogger who has been providing most of the news about this for a while, I was rather taken aback that nearly all the information presented about Cohen was either originally presented or already covered here at CP. Be that as it may, at least this article attempted to get at the issues behind the scenes, even though I did most of the work for the reporter, but read this:

The talk outside the Loews Annapolis Hotel after a Democratic mayoral forum last month focused on the standout performance of Josh Cohen, who some said has emerged as the top contender.

Huh? I missed the event but watched it online, thanks to The Capital. How could anyone, I mean anyone, say that Cohen has "emerged as the top contender."? Did the reporter base that on overhearing a few gossipers? You know the candidate is going to get that up on his web-site asap. (As Soon As Political) See it at: Cohen Capital . For The Sun's take, see Cohen Sun.

I attended the Democratic mayoral forum last month. Although I supported Josh prior to the event, I agree that Josh had a "standout performance" and "emerged as the top contender."

I also think Zina Pierre did well.

I read on CP that Josh was "polished, calm, friendly." I understand that you believe he was "too slick." But I think many people believe we need a mayor who comes prepared.
