I believe the Clintons are insane. They’re borrowing money to continue a campaign that everyone agrees is over. Not even Barack Obama is worried about Hillary Clinton anymore. Yet as we speak, Bill Clinton, ever the journeyman, is tromping down the Oregon coast, stumping at places like the Maritime Museum and the Tillamook Cheese Factory. This is old school campaigning if I’ve ever heard of it. It’s sort of beautiful actually. I imagine this long boxy Cadillac with red white and blue streamers and a loudspeaker on top blaring Grand Funk Railroad tunes. More than likely, it’s a tinted black Expedition and Shania Twain, but hey, a guy can dream can’t he? Against all odds, running against the wind and all that, the Clinton’s press on. Here’s Bill’s full schedule for today:
Here is Bill Clinton’s full schedule for today.
- 9:30 a.m. at the Columbia River Maritime Museum in Astoria.
- 12:30 p.m. at the Tillamook Cheese Factory in Tillamook.
- 3:30 p.m. at the Port of Newport Marina & RV Park in Newport.
- 6 p.m. at Lincoln School in Corvallis.
- 8:15 p.m. at the University of Oregon EMU Ballroom in Eugene.
It’s also worth noting that that Republican nominee John McCain is also in Oregon today, Portland to be precise, with two events on the table. And surprise surprise, neither event is open to the public. McCain will speak on climate change at 12:30 at the Vestas Wind Technology, 2130 NE Ainsworth Circle, and at 5 p.m., he holds a fundraiser at the airport Sheraton.
