Hoarse from a cross-country campaign
trip through three states, Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton told
die-hard supporters in Central Point that she would keep running
for president, and pressed her opponent to debate on Oregon issues.
With Senator Barack Obama returning to Oregon, Clinton said it
would be a great time to debate while Oregonians consider how to
cast mail ballots that are already hanging on refrigerators in
households across the state.
The ballots will be counted May 20th.
Clinton repeated portions of her Oregon Compact, saying she
favored restoring federal payments to timber-dependent counties,
and criticized Obama for voting for an energy bill that took away
states' authority over siting liquefied natural gas terminals.
She also called for thinning forests to provide jobs and reduce
the danger of wildfire.
