Wayne turns out to show support for Clinton

WAYNE — It’s small communities like Wayne in states like West Virginia and Kentucky that can help New York Sen. Hillary Clinton win the popular vote for the democratic nomination for president.

That’s what her husband, former President Bill Clinton, told a packed gymnasium Friday at Wayne High School.

“If West Virginia and Kentucky support her in big numbers, she’s still going to win the popular vote,” President Clinton said.

“I know whenever I go around and speak for Hillary, people think, ‘He has to say that or he can’t go home tonight.’”

 But he also happens to love his country and believes Hillary is the “best candidate I’ve ever had a chance to support.

“You’re never going to have a chance to vote for a better change maker,” he told a crowd of students, parents, grandparents and Hillary supporters from Wayne County.

One of the most difficult things any president has to do is turn speeches into solutions, but Hillary can do that, he said. President Clinton outlined some of his wife’s ideas for addressing national issues such as high gasoline prices, health-care costs, the No Child Left Behind Act, high interest rates on college loans, the recession and the war in Iraq.
