Harris pushing Kratovil on crisis 'solved' comments, Kratovil says he was misquoted

Republican Andy Harris's campaign is still criticizing Democrat Frank Kratovil for a quote that appeared in The Daily Times in which Kratovil said the nation's financial crisis was solved, but Kratovil is now saying that the quote itself was reported incorrectly.

"We solved the crisis, but we don't always do something to solve the issue," Kratovil was quoted as saying in the original version of an Oct. 7 The Daily Times story.

The controversy began when Harris attacked that statement.

"Mr. Kratovil. Just pick up The Daily Times," Harris said during a debate at Cecil College. "It's in quotes. It says quote 'we solved the crisis.' Now which is it? What you said yesterday in Salisbury or what you're saying today in Cecil College? I don't get it."

The Kratovil campaign argued that the story was wrong and that it had already been corrected.

The Kratovil camp insisted that the candidate, who was campaigning with Sen. Barbara Mikulski when he made the original comments, was not speaking towards the financial crisis directly. The campaign released an audio clip of the conversation as evidence that the quote in The Daily Times was wrong.

"And as I mentioned in my talk, you know, in this country we often times deal with a crisis. We solve the crisis, but we don't always deal with the long-term issues that lead to the crisis," Kratovil said in the audio clip obtained by PolitickerMD.com.

Harris' team, however, says they're not surprised Kratovil is "back peddling" and say they still have a copy of the original story in print.

"Kratovil said last Monday he supported the taxpayer funded Wall-Street bailout and then said the crisis is solved," Chris Meekins, Harris's campaign manager, wrote in an email to PolitickerMD.com. "Kratovil's wrong, the bailout did not solve anything."

Kratovil's press secretary, Kevin Lawlor, said he sees no reason for the Kratovil campaign to engage in a senseless argument.

"It's pointless to argue," Lawlor told PolitickerMD.com. "It was corrected in the newspaper."
