Western Md. Democrats Gather For Annual Summit

FLINTSTONE, Md. (AP) -- U.S. Sen. Ben Cardin and Gov. Martin O'Malley are among the scheduled speakers as western Maryland Democrats gather for an annual summit.

The event runs all day and into the night Saturday at the Rocky Gap Lodge and Golf Resort.

Cardin says he's urging Democrats to continue their efforts to register new voters, engage Democrats and support the party's candidates.

He's also highlighting what he calls the stark contrast between Democratic and Republican approaches to addressing the federal budget deficit.
