U.S. Sen. Barack Obama, D-Ill., will hold a “Stand For Change Rally” at the Kohl Center in Madison Tuesday.
The event will be free and open to the public. Tickets are not required for entry to the event, but interested students can RSVP by logging on to www.barackobama.com. Doors will open at 6:15 p.m.
Obama spokesperson Dan Leistikow said in an e-mail the campaign is expecting a larger crowd than the 4,000 who attended his last visit on Oct. 15, 2007, at the Monona Terrace.
Obama won Democratic primaries in Washington, Louisiana and Nebraska Saturday, and in Maine Sunday, according to CNN. Upcoming primaries include Virginia, Maryland and Washington D.C. on Tuesday.
U.S. Sen. Hillary Clinton, D-N.Y., will visit Wisconsin on Feb. 16 at the Democratic Party of Wisconsin’s Founders Day Gala in Milwaukee.
Chelsea Clinton will be in the Main Lounge of the Memorial Union Monday at 3:15 p.m., according to a spokesperson for Clinton, Lt. Gov. Barbara Lawton. She will also campaign in Milwaukee, La Crosse and Eau Claire Monday and Tuesday.
Sen. Clinton spokesperson Carly Lindauer said Clinton would also participate in the ABC/WISN-TV/Marquette University Law School/Wispolitics.com debate at Marquette University. Lindauer said the debate was still being organized and no date has been set.
Leistikow said Obama agreed to participate in two more debates with Clinton in the coming weeks but could not confirm if the Marquette debate would be possible due to scheduling.
According to Lindauer, Clinton and former President Bill Clinton will also campaign in Wisconsin in the days before the primary.
The Wisconsin primary, which will be held on Feb. 19, has 92 delegates at stake for Democrats. Twenty-nine delegates are up for grabs in Hawaii, who hold their caucuses on Feb. 19.
In the Republican race, U.S. Sen. John McCain, R-Ariz., won Washington’s primary Saturday, though he lost to former Arkansas Gov. Mike Huckabee in Kansas and Louisiana. McCain also recently received the endorsement of two Wisconsin members of the Republican National Committee.
