(BILLINGS, Mont.) Michelle Obama was greeted by Hillary Clinton at the Emily’s List Event in Denver today. The former first lady and the possible future first lady had a cordial conversation about their respective speeches. Clinton congratulated Obama on her speech last night while Obama wished Clinton good luck on her address tonight.

Aides say that Clinton called Michelle Obama earlier today, but the two did not connect. Obama was on her way to a campaign event in Denver.

Last night, Michelle Obama expressed gratitude to Clinton, saying, “People like Hillary Clinton, who put those 18 million cracks in the glass ceiling, so that our daughters – and sons – can dream a little bigger and aim a little higher.”

Obama will watch Sen. Clinton’s speech from Montana tonight.

From CBS News' Jamie Farnsworth:

(CINCINNATI) At Xavier University in Cincinnati, Sen. John McCain hosted a town hall event for voters this afternoon. Among the many McCain supporters sat a woman wearing a navy blue “Hillary For President” hat.

The day before a much anticipated first campaign appearance by Sens. Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama, a new AP/Yahoo News poll released findings that over half of Clinton supporters are now backing Obama. However, there are still some former Clinton supporters shopping for a new candidate.

“I’m a registered Democrat looking for a presidential candidate,” the Clinton supporter told John McCain. “There are lots of women who feel now disenfranchised.”

McCain answered the voter by singing his own praise of Clinton, saying “all of us respect not only Senator Clinton but the race that she ran. She inspired millions of Americans and millions of American women and women all over the world.” He went on to say he appreciated being able to work with Clinton on the Armed Services Committee.

The voter neglected to say who she would be voting for, only that she wished Obama was at the town hall with McCain. She also said she felt compelled as a woman to question McCain’s positions on women’s rights and express her concern over his possible Supreme Court appointees.

For a candidate no longer running for president, Clinton still is very much in the minds of voters and tomorrow she will try to sway the remaining undecided toward her one-time rival.
