Another Clinton comes to Rhode Island

Former President Bill Clinton is coming to the Ocean State today, less than one week before Rhode Island's March 4 presidential primary election.

Clinton has been traveling the country, campaigning on behalf of his wife, presidential hopeful Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton.

He will be hosting a rally at Bryant University in Smithfield, according to a statement from the Hillary Clinton campaign. Doors open at 2:15 p.m., and the event is expected to begin at 3:15.

The rally, titled “Solutions for America,” will be at the Chace Athletic Center, and is open to the public. Attendees are encouraged to carpool because of the limited parking.

Sen. Clinton has already visited the state; she held a rally at Rhode Island College on Sunday.

Democratic presidential candidate Barack Obama will make a campaign stop in Rhode Island Saturday -- the March 4 primary here and in three other states could prove crucial in picking the Democratic nominee.

But exactly when and where are still to be determined, his campaign said at a news conference yesterday. His wife visited the state last week.

Sen. John McCain spoke to an audience of more than 1,000 at the Crowne Plaza hotel on Feb. 14.

Former Arkansas governor and Republican presidential hopeful Mike Huckabee was on the radio, and visited a school and this newspaper Monday in a day-long campaigning tour of Rhode Island.
