Obama Holds Town Hall Event in Pendleton

By Molly Kelleher

PENDLETON, Ore. (AP) - Before leaving Oregon, Sen. Barack Obama
stopped in Pendleton to tell voters the country can not wait to end
the Iraq war, improve schools and fix the health care system.

Obama also told voters in the heavily Republican corner of the
state that incomes were stagnant during the recent economic
expansion.

Long lines to get into Sunday's ticket-only event formed hours
ahead of time, and a capacity crowd of at least 3,500 filled the
Convention Center.

Obama is heavily favored in Oregon over Sen. Hillary Rodham
Clinton.

Clinton left Oregon on Saturday to campaign in Kentucky, a state
she is expected to win.
