| Description | National Democrats - including Bill and Hillary Rodham Clinton - are coming to Maryland to help raise millions of dollars that state party leaders say they need to combat President Bush and the GOP's fundraising prowess in this year's most crucial elections.
Baltimore Mayor Martin O'Malley, the Democratic nominee for governor, said the fundraising help is essential to maintain a simultaneous television presence in the costly media markets of Washington and Baltimore.
O'Malley began airing his first campaign commercial in the Washington market Sunday evening after running television ads mostly in the Baltimore region all summer. His Republican rival, Gov. Robert L. Ehrlich Jr., went on the air in Baltimore and Washington last month.
"It's very expensive," O'Malley said. "Now we're in the final stretch. Hopefully my friends will continue to come through, and our base of support will continue to grow. But it is an expensive proposition." |
