Oregon Primary.

About 1,100 people in Ashland, Oregon, heard former president Bill Clinton and daughter Chelsea speak at the Southern Oregon University campus yesterday:

"If they didn't show up (to campaign in Oregon) that would change people's minds," said Mark Kesler of Ashland. "They need to keep pushing forward. They'd be silly not to if something happens to Obama and Hillary had already dropped out."

"I have high respect for her," said Melody Kamaunu of Ashland. "She's not giving up. That speaks volumes."


Even some Obama supporters were there and liked what the former president had to say:

At least one Obama supporter said Bill Clinton's remarks made him feel better about Hillary Clinton as a potential president.

"I'm really glad I listened to him," said Stallman, the Ashland man who brought his children to the rally. "I certainly feel better about our future. I feel a lot more informed walking away from this."
