President Barack Obama is urging Oregon voters to "defy the conventional wisdom" and vote to send John Kitzhaber back to the governor's mansion on Nov. 2.

Kitzhaber, a doctor, served from 1994-2002 and is running for an unprecedented third term. But he's in a very tight race against Republican Chris Dudley, a former NBA player and a political rookie.

Obama told a boisterous indoor rally in Portland, Ore., on Wednesday night that Kitzhaber is the only candidate in the race who has actually delivered change. He said Kitzhaber has already done the job and did it well.
