The Art of War: No Tactic Off-Limits During Aberdeen Election Season

Just two weeks before the city’s election, Aberdeen is proving once again that when it comes to politics, no tactic is off-limits. A police report filed earlier this summer against a notable local figure has come to light in what may be an effort to turn a dubious allegation into a political hit. According to […]

City Council President Hiob Announces Aberdeen Mayoral Bid

A few months ago, Aberdeen City Council President Mike Hiob wasn’t sure if he was going to seek a fourth term on the city council. Now he’s certain he won’t. Tired of being hampered by ineffectual administrations and uncooperative council members, Hiob, 50, will instead run for mayor of Aberdeen during the city’s non-partisan municipal […]

“You Can’t Get The Ink Out Of Our Blood” – Baltimore Sun Takes On The Dagger

A couple of weeks ago, a few of us sat down with Baltimore Sun Today Editor Andrew Ratner for about an hour-and-a-half.

Painted With An Obscure Brush

From the field office, comes this weird one, as if many of you hadn’t already seen S. Fred Simmons’ most recent defacement. What’s different this time is the vandal’s literacy. Supplanting the anarchy symbol and goofy, tagger-style lettering of the preceding spray-painting is a quote from Ayn Rand’s more obscure philosophical ramblings: “The law of […]

What a Difference a Day Makes

Some final thoughts and field notes on the 2007 Aberdeen Election: I began the day throwing up in my car on the way to work (how’s that for full disclosure). I’d have taken the bout of sickness as an ill omen if I hadn’t made the same ineffective claim during the last Aberdeen election. In […]

Simmons/Yensan Out, Bennett/Young In (Unofficial Aberdeen Election Results)

More than 2,500 Aberdeen voters cast a ballot Tuesday, a greater number than participated in the record-setting pace of the December 2006 special election, flushing Mayor S. Fred Simmons and his right-hand man Councilman Dave Yensan out of office and ushering in a new era for the city with Mike Bennett as mayor and first-time […]

Aberdeen Candidate Class Superlatives

November 5, 2007 By Brian Goodman

In less than 24 hours, the polls will open in Aberdeen and a revolution will be underway to sweep clean City Hall…or voters will show their support for the direction the city has been moving the last two years and return the incumbents to office. Either way, The Dagger couldn’t pass up a final chance […]

Artfully Done: How To Win An Election The Wrong Way

November 1, 2007 By Brian Goodman

Like cigarettes, booze or Russian Roulette, it is almost assured that too much of a bad thing will kill you. At least that’s the hope of Art Helton – political dinosaur, Democratic kingmaker and frequent target of opponents looking to tank the campaigns of candidates with whom he is associated. Over the weekend, Helton was […]
