Robert Johnson Jr.

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.
