From a distance: Super Tuesday in New England

Just because we won’t be voting on Super Tuesday doesn’t mean some Rhode Islanders won’t be doing their part to help their candidate of choice tomorrow.

Supporters of Democratic candidate Sen. Barack Obama are departing by bus from Hope High School in Providence tomorrow morning for a Get Out the Vote trip to those nearby states – Connecticut and Massachusetts – that will be holding a presidential primary.

Candidates and their supporters have already been working the New England Super Tuesday states.

Republican Sen. John McCain spoke at a rally at Sacred Heart University in Fairfiield, Conn. yesterday.

And Democratic candidateSen. Hillary Clinton and her daughter Chelsea are scheduled to arrive in the state today, as is Obama, who had the Democrats’ 2004 presidential candidate Sen. John Kerry of Massachusetts, campaigning on his behalf at a Baptist Church in Bridgeport.

No word on the whereabouts of Republican and former Mass. Gov. Mitt Romney's whereabouts tomorrow, but today he's in Georgia.

When do Rhode Islanders get their chance to vote? On Tuesday, March 4.-- projo.com staff writer Brandie M. Jefferson, with reports from the Associated Press
