Bagley also admitted that Clinton spent her campaign money too quickly leading into the Feb. 5 Super Tuesday. Bagley said Clinton wasn't expecting the race to go this long.
Regardless of the eventual nominee for the Democratic Party, Strickland recognizes the implications of the primary race.
"Once we know what candidate it is, we're going to make history," Strickland said. "No woman has ever won a primary (so) she's already made history."
One thing Strickland struck down quickly was the rumor that Clinton, if chosen as the party's nominee, could choose Gov. Strickland as her vice presidential running mate.
"He wants to be governor of Ohio," Strickland said, cutting the question off before the audience member went any farther.
Miami senior Alex Cox, a member of Students for Hillary Clinton, said the visit was advantageous to Clinton's campaign and a little bit ironic.
"(Having Strickland and Bagley) shows (Clinton's) experience," Cox said. "It's ironic that the First Lady of Ohio is here to talk about the (former) First Lady of the United States."
Phillip Hurst, Miami senior and a member of Students for Hillary Clinton, said the event was publicized to students through e-mails and a few flyers, but that the goal was to keep the forum Monday night small so that there could be group discussion about important issues that people wanted to address.
Clinton and Obama remain in a statistical tie in Ohio going into Tuesday's primary. Polls will be open from 6:30 a.m. to 7:30 p.m.

All these old time Clinton machines are coming out in favor of her and it shouldn't be a surprise to anyone. Hillary supporters are grasping at straws. (Continued…)
