Michelle Obama to campaign in R.I. tomorrow

Michelle Obama is coming to Rhode Island tomorrow to talk about her husband, Sen. Barack Obama, and his run for the presidency.

First, she’ll be meeting at a private get-together for a “Women for Obama” launch event at 1:30 p.m. The gathering is by invitation only, the campaign said.

Tomorrow evening she’ll join her brother, Brown University basketball coach Craig Robinson at Community College Rhode Island’s Knight Campus in Warwick for a rally.

The 5:45 p.m. event is open to the public but it’s at the Student Dining Commons, so there’s limited space; you can secure tickets online.

Fellow Democratic presidential contender Sen. Hillary Clinton is set to visit the Ocean State on Sunday, though she hasn't yet announced where. GOP frontrunner Sen. John McCain stopped here for a campaign rally last week.
