President Obama was back in full campaign mode Wednesday, stopping off at a Boston sandwich shop with Senate candidate Ed Markey before heading to a fundraiser for the Massachusetts Democrat. The presidential motorcade wound its way to Charlie's Sandwich Shoppe in the city's South End, where "has rules" according to a sign above the door, and Obama ordered a cheeseburger and fries to go. "I want to make sure you know that there's going to be an election coming up for Congressman Markey to send him to the Senate," he told diner in the cramped shop, according to a pool report. "I want to make sure everybody turns out and votes. Alright? This guy has been fighting for Massachusetts for a very long time and he cares deeply about all the folks here. I know it seems like there's an election every other week, but this one's important." The Markey event was the first of three fundraisers Obama was slated to attend Wednesday. The other two, benefitting the Democratic National Committee, are at private homes in Miami. The Boston Globe's Michael Levenson tweets this pic of the presidential burger order:
