Hillary Clinton is coming to R.I. on Feb. 24

Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Clinton will visit Rhode Island on Sunday, Feb. 24, her campaign announced today.

Republican candidate John McCain visited the state yesterday -- the same day that Lincoln Chafee, former Republican Rhode Island senator, said he was endorsing Clinton's rival for the Democratic nomination, Barack Obama.

Obama has opened a campaign office in Providence, but hasn't campaigned here.

The Rhode Island primary is March 4.

Maybe Bill will come with her and get into another fight with an Obama supporter.

I hope that the Providence Journal will be as fair in it reporting of Senator Obama as it is has been in its reporting of Senator Clinton.

Anyone know where she's going to be speaking? I'd love to go see her & show some support.

Isn't it amazing. Several months ago, both parties were trying to get the primaries moved up so "we won't be left out" Now the Dems are absolutely giddy over the prospect of Clinton and Obama visiting the state. Maybe Hillary can stay home and loan RI $5 million.

I hope the same people who showed up to protest the war at McCain's event will be there to protest Hillary's continued support for it.

to "M" there are thousands of people who will be thrilled to see Hillary Clinton and hear what she has to say. There is nothing I want more than to see her in the Whitehouse.

Kathy, I've heard Clinton speak and all I ever hear is what she wants to change. I've yet to hear her say how she is going to do it and how she is going to pay for it. In her defense, Obama and McCain play the same game. All these candidates need to do is throw out a few sound bites. If RI was successful in moving the primary to an earlier date, none of the candidates would've went out of their way to stop.

"M" - have you bothered to look into how Clinton will fund her ideas? It would be irresponsible and frankly quite stupid for any candidate to propose plans without also discussing the funding. That simply couldn't happen. Take Iraq for example. Clinton has propsed funding from ally countries, states bordering Iraq and other powerful nations... and obviously funding from the US. You can't simply assume that a candidate has no plan for funding without looking into it.

Also, I can't wait to find out where she's speaking... I'm absolutely going!

Please let me know where she is appearing. I've already sent in my donation.(first time ever to donate to any campaign, that's how much I care, and believe in her ability to be our next President.). Thank you GA/.

That is wonderful. Lets show her our support. She is the best candidate I've seen in a long time: poweful, willing to fight for great causes such as healthcare for all Americans!
