Oct. 30, 2014 -- Former
Secretary of State Hillary Clinton headlined a get-out-the-vote rally
in support of the Anthony Brown-Ken Ulman ticket for governor and
lieutenant governor at the University of Maryland's Ritchie
Coliseum. Clinton declared, "This race comes down to a simple
question. Who's on your side? Who is going to go to bat for
you every single day? Who has the values and the experience to
create those good, high-paying jobs, to make our economy work for
everyone again?"
Various Maryland Democratic leaders, including Gov. Martin O'Malley, preceded Clinton on the stage and a high school band provided entertainment. The crowd, consisting mostly of students, did not fill the Coliseum, but responded enthusiastically. |
Activists from United We Dream disrupted Clinton's speech several times; they are pushing for administrative measures to stop deportations and have made their presence felt a quite a few political events recently. |
Curiously, Gov.
O'Malley did not join in the group shot
at the conclusion of the event; indeed O'Malley did not appear on the
stage with
Clinton, although he did praise
her in his remarks. O'Malley and Clinton are both mentioned as
likely candidates for president in 2016, There are five days to go until Election Day, and today marked the final day of early voting in Maryland; it runs from Thursday, Oct. 23 to Oct. 30. |
