Obviously, Harris is VERY desperate
For a Harris supporter to make a comment regarding where Kratovil speaks shows signs of desperation and weakness, eh? Kratovil has been drawing large crowds all over the district, including Democratic clubs and organizations......... yet more importantly, outside the party apparatus!
Just look at his public schedule on this website and you will see that he is one VERY busy candidate criss-crossing a huge district with numerous events. The Harris folks ought to be concerned about the large number of Republicans lining up behind Kratovil and his groundbreaking campaign versus the narrow-minded and myopic agenda that the senator brings to the fore.
I'm pretty sure the event
I'm pretty sure the event was on his website (or at least Kratovil notes). That doesn't mean they necessarily did a press release. Considering it looks like Kevin Agnese was at the event, it would make sense for him to do a story about it.
I wasn't saying that it was
I wasn't saying that it was a bad idea, simply that it seems strange to me to do a press release when one is speaking to his own party. You don't see Harris doing a press piece everytime he speaks to a GOP club.
Speaking to the masses = Desperate?
Do you know how far 1st District reaches? Streches all the way from Smith Island to the middle of Baltimore County. Why claim desperation on Kratovil's campaign in wanting meet and hopefully better represent ALL the people in his district, young and old.
Meet Frank Kratovil
Meeting a candidate presents an excellent opportunity for citizens to learn first hand about a candidate and their positions.
Kudos to Mr. Kratovil to avail himself to the public and taking the time to speak to younger voters. This is what America is all about!!
Not Desperate at All
Nonsense. Campaigns should always provide amble publicity for any opportunity the public has to meet the candidate. Kudos to the Kratovil campaign for publicizing opportunities to meet Frank.
Besides, the Baltimore County Young Democrats are just hosting the event; it's for the larger community. Even if that weren't the case, BCYD is easily one of the biggest political organizations in the county and is a good source of volunteers for the Kratovil campaign.

Desperate
You know someone is desperate for attention when they do a press release about speaking to the Young Democrats. Guess no one else wants to hear Frank speak!
