Candidate Obama's wife to campaign in R.I.

Michelle Obama, Sen. Barack Obama’s wife, is coming to Rhode Island.

A statement from the presidential hopeful’s campaign says she’ll be here on Wednesday.

Michelle Obama has ties to Rhode Island that go beyond the March 4 primary. Her brother, Craig Robinson, is men’s basketball coach at Brown University.

The campaign has not yet said where she'll make an appearance.

Sen. Hillary Clinton has announced her plans to visit on Sunday, Feb. 24.

Republican candidate, Sen. John McCain, was in town last week; he went on to get an endorsement from his old competitor, former Massachusetts Governor Mitt Romney.
