Baltimore County Young Democrats

Addressing the Baltimore County Young Democrats in Towson Thursday night, First Congressional District candidate Frank Kratovil (D-Stevensville) was asked by Robert Johnson Jr., a state delegate for Sen. Barack Obama (Ill.), for his thoughts on the presidential race.

Kratovil reaffirmed that he would not endorse either Obama or rival Sen. Hillary Clinton (D-N.Y.), but referred to the high negative ratings that Clinton harbors, and said it could be a detriment to his campaign.

"The chances of drawing out the super right base (of the Republican Party) are greater with (Clinton)," Kratovil said.

Andy Harris (R-Cockeysville), was "divisive" and would be "one of the most conservative people in Congress."

Kratovil said he expected the Harris campaign would continue to attempt to link him to Gov. Martin O'Malley (D) and U.S. Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.).

"He says I would vote straight party line because that's what he does," Kratovil said of Harris. "He votes straight party line."

"I'll vote the way I think is appropriate," Kratovil said.
