Hillary coming to southern NM for Obama

Former Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Clinton will campaign for Barack Obama in southern New Mexico on Saturday.

The Obama campaign released no additional details about the visit, but the last time it announced a visit to southern New Mexico, it was Friday’s trip by Joe Biden, which ended up being a stop in Mesilla. Asked if “southern New Mexico” means that Clinton will visit the Doña Ana County area, an Obama campaign spokeswoman said the campaign doesn’t yet have that information.

Clinton is scheduled to appear at a rally in Utah at 10:30 a.m. on Saturday, so it’s likely that the visit to southern New Mexico will take place in the afternoon or evening.

Clinton visited Española several weeks ago to campaign for Obama. She beat Obama in the state’s Feb. 5 primary, even though she lost the 1st and 3rd Congressional districts, by winning big in southern New Mexico’s 2nd District.
