Mississippi gets some face time

Everybody’s talking about the next big primary in Pennsylvania, but don’t forget about Mississippi.

The state holds its primary on Tuesday, with 33 delegates up for grabs for the Democrats. And at a time when every delegate matters, Mississippians are getting some attention from the campaigns of both Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama.

Clinton spoke in Canton last night at a dinner for Mississippi Democrats. She’s in Hattiesburg for a rally this morning. Check out the streaming video right now from Media General television stations WHLT in Hattiesburg and WJTV in Jackson.

Bill Clinton is hosting a fish fry in Tupelo tonight and campaigning Saturday with rallies in Pass Christian, Biloxi, Ellisville and Meridian.

On Monday, Obama will be in Columbus and Jackson, but his campaign has not released further details.

Both candidates are also spending time in Wyoming today. Wyoming holds its Democratic caucus Saturday.
