From the Associated Press:
PEEBLES, Ohio (AP) - Former President Bill Clinton is scheduled to campaign in Chillicothe, Portsmouth, Athens and Lancaster Monday on behalf of Hillary Rodham Clinton.
Ohio's primary is March 4th, and although the heavy majority of Democratic primary votes will come from Cleveland, Columbus, Cincinnati and other urban areas -- Ohio's sprawling Appalachian region could be pivotal to Hillary Clinton's hopes of holding off her opponent for the Democratic nomination, Barack Obama.
Some 1.5 million people are scattered across about the region.
The former president also has a planned stop Friday in New Philadelphia, in the region's northeastern portion.
Ohio University political analyst Michael McTeague describes the region's voters as mostly traditionalists.
He says some will have issues with a black candidate and others with a female candidate.

To Richard:You don't have to have experience but please tell me about Hillary's experience. [I don't like anyone who is running].
richard, nice words, but there is no way she can win. She would have to beat Obama badly in Ohio and Texas to win. Doen't look like the polls are showing that right now.
bill and hilary represent true experience and true leadership for the times we live in ...i'm from upper southeastern ohio, along the river near pittsburgh...and hilary received standing room only crowds here and people stood in the freezing temps for hours and were very very pleased to hear what she had to say... if this region holds for her, she will win ohio i'm convinced and this country will experience a true democrat w/ strong experience that will make a genuine difference in all of our lives and in our country's life... and we need to tune out the corporate national media that is saying she does not have a chance...that's brainwashing at its best and we in the southern part of ohio can make them eat those kinds of statements...along w/ all those "expert" pundits who know nothing about the real world of ohioans who actually deeply care about what is happening here in our state and across our nation.. i'm very concerned about Obama's lack of experience and his views.
