TULSA, Okla. (AP) _ Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Rodham Clinton told hundreds of supporters that she's not sure that she can win over politically conservative Oklahoma in the 2008 election. But at a fundraiser at the Oklahoma Jazz Hall of Fame in Tulsa Saturday night, Clinton says she's going to give it a try.

Clinton praised a program launched this year by Tulsa Community College that gives high school graduates in Tulsa County free tuition if they enroll directly after high school graduation. Clinton said she would like to expand the concept nationally.

Clinton's spoke for about 30 minutes but hung around afterward to sign autographs and talk with people. She then rushed off to fly to Los Angeles for another fundraiser.

The New York senator raised about $100,000 at the Tulsa event. Clinton raised about $300,000 during a fundraiser in June in Oklahoma City. With a total amount of $400,000 that puts her at or near the top among money raised in Oklahoma for any presidential candidate.
