GREENBELT, Md. -- Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton picked up the endorsement of Prince George's County Executive Jack B. Johnson on Saturday.

Johnson urged his supporters in the county, which has a one of the nation's most affluent black populations, to vote for Clinton in the Democratic primary. Johnson told a crowd of about 100 at a Greenbelt hotel that the New York senator "will fight for us on the issues.''

The announcement surprised many* in Maryland political circles. Johnson had previously agreed to let Sen. Barack Obama use his name in a listing of statewide supporters.
