Hillary Clinton to appear in Savannah area

Democrats in the Savannah area will get a chance to see one of their choices in the 2008 presidential race on Saturday.

Party officials in Beaufort County, South Carolina say, Hillary Clinton will become the first 2008 Democratic presidential candidate to appear in the area with a visit to Beaufort.

Details on the event format haven't been worked out yet, but event organizer Linda Tarr-Whelan says, it will be open to the public and she expects there to be a question-and-answer period.

"I'm a supporter of Hillary Clinton's," she says. "And I think there'll be a lot of people there who are supporters but also a number of people who would like to see all of the candidates and haven't made up their minds as yet."

Star candidate appearances in the Low Country tend to attract supporters from both Georgia and South Carolina.

Clinton is in the Palmetto State on the heals of this week's CNN-You Tube debate in Charleston. Her appearance is scheduled for 1-P-M on Saturday at the University of South Carolina Performing Arts Center.
