SCRANTON, LACKAWANNA COUNTY - More than 100 supporters and curious onlookers filled Court Street in Scranton Sunday afternoon as Bill and Hillary Clinton came out for the christening of their nephew.

"A lot of people are here to see the political aspect of it, but you have to remember it's for a three-month-old baby boy. He can't help who he's related to," Shannon Sachetti, a relative of Hillary Clinton said.

About 250 guests were cleared to go into the christening, including Peg Hines, a fan of the former President.

"I'm thrilled. He's a charmer," Hines said.

The crowd that showed up outside the church was not disappointed. The New York Senator and the former President both came around to shake hands and sign autographs.

"It's wonderful to be back in Scranton, absolutely wonderful. What a beautiful day it is," Senator Hillary Clinton said.

When asked how the christening went, former President Bill Clinton said "It was great, you know, this is the third member of the family christened here in this generation."

Hillary Clinton was also christened at the Court Street United Methodist Church.
