We Matter

From the Seattle P-I


" After initially planning to dispatch Bill Clinton to Seattle, Tacoma and Spokane Thursday night and Friday, Democratic Sen. Hillary Clinton's campaign changed course and is sending the candidate herself here instead. The former president is being detoured to Maine.

The New York senator will appear at a free public event Thursday at 8 p.m. at the Pier 30 warehouse on the Seattle waterfront. She might also campaign in Tacoma Friday morning and then in Spokane.

Sen. Barack Obama, battling Clinton for the Democratic nomination, will address a "Stand for Change" rally at Seattle's Key Arena Friday at 11 a.m. while his wife Michelle campaigns for him in Spokane. Both will be free to the public. Details of the Spokane event were still being firmed up Wednesday."
