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 opened a campaign office this week in Providence, but has not campaigned here and it is not known if he will.

The Obama campaign announced today that Obama supporters will participate in a statewide canvass this weekend, going door-to-door in Rhode Island to share the candidate’s vision.

Tomorrow morning, participants will gather at Obama’s Rhode Island headquarters for a “canvass kickoff,” at 10 a.m. at 235 Westminster St.

Supporters can sign up for the canvasses at the events page on RI.BarackOBama.com , e-mail RI@barackobama.com, or call Obama’s Rhode Island headquarters at 277-2008.

The Rhode Island primary is March 4.
