Clinton urges Orono crowd to participate

Sen. Hillary Clinton, D-N.Y., took her "Solution for America" town hall forum to the University of Maine Saturday and received a rousing welcome from an enthusiastic crowd that spent more than an hour cheering and agreeing with her positions.

Clinton was in the state to remind voters of the historic nature of this year’s presidential contest and to ask for support in Sunday’s Democratic Party caucuses. There are 24 delegates to the party’s national convention at stake during the caucus and with Clinton and Sen. Barack Obama in a virtual tie in the delegate count, Maine’s have suddenly become very important.
