Bill Clinton Speaks in Grants Pass

One week to Oregon's primary, former president Bill Clinton returns to Southern Oregon. It's Clinton's third day in Oregon campaigning for his wife, Hillary, and his second trip to the region in less than a month and a half. The Clinton campaign is working hard for votes as time winds down in the primary.

After a stop in Roseburg Tuesday morning, the former president addressed a crowd at Rogue Community College in Grants Pass. He told the crowd he believes his wife is still the best person for the presidency.

Clinton spoke for nearly an hour to a crowd made up, in part, of college students. He told them his wife will keep fighting until a democratic nominee is chosen.

"When someone tells you "you can't win" it's because they know you can and they're afraid you will," says Clinton.

His speech was similar to the one he gave in Medford in March. He talked about Senator Clinton's plans for the economy, education, healthcare, and local issues like county timber payments.

"Hillary is the only candidate who has cosponsored Senator Ron Wyden's bill to reinstate those payments and to do it this time for six years so the politicians can't fool with you every year and the compact that is a century old can be honored," he says.

An important part of his visit was to encourage people to vote. Ballot boxes were available for those who brought their ballots and where ready to vote. Security was not letting people within ten feet of the box unless they were there to drop off their ballot.

Clinton's visit marks a milestone in one woman's life. At 92-years-old, Christine Enos had never voted in her life. But believing her vote could make a difference this year, she cast her ballot for Hillary Clinton.

"Well, I just never got around to voting until now. And I knew it was needed so that's why I voted," says Enos.

The campaign was not allowed to handle the ballots. At this point it's unclear how many were dropped off. The question is, will it be enough for Senator Clinton to win the state, and whether that will be enough in the bigger picture.

There were fewer people Tuesday than came to see Bill Clinton in Medford. Tuesday's crowd was made up largely of die-hard Clinton supporters.
