MD-GOV: Obama touts Brown's message in Md.

Pesident Barack Obama sought to rally support for Anthony G. Brown's gubernatorial campaign at an event in Prince George's County on Sunday, telling an enthusiastic crowd that the lieutenant governor is offering a better vision for the middle class than his Republican opponent.

In his first appearance on stage with a candidate running in this year's midterm elections, the president sounded themes from his own campaigns, arguing that Brown's positions on education and the economy represented a message of hope and that Republicans were peddling fear and cynicism in races across the country.

Howard County executive Ken Ulman, Brown's running mate, spoke to the crowd before Brown. President Barack Obama joined Lt. Gov. Anthony Brown at a campaign rally for the Democratic gubernatorial candidate at the Dr. Henry A. Wise Jr. High School gym.

"You deserve leaders that don't root for failure, don't try to re-fight the old battles, don't try to peddle fear," the president told about 8,000 people — mainly African-Americans — packed into a high school gymnasium in Upper Marlboro. "If you want good policies to continue in Maryland, you've got to vote for it."
