John McCain’s wife Cindy will join him for Saturday’s rally in Mesilla, the campaign announced today in releasing details about the visit.

In addition, McCain’s New Mexico campaign manager, Marta Kramer, confirmed in an e-mail what I already reported: McCain will also make a stop in Albuquerque on Saturday. Kramer didn’t release additional details.

And the campaign of Barack Obama has released details about Hillary Clinton’s Saturday rally in Sunland Park.
