Are you visiting Hillary in Corpus Christi on Wednesday?

The Advocate received an e-mail on Monday promoting Sen. Hillary Clinton's plans to stop in Corpus Christi on Wednesday:

Come Meet Hillary Clinton!

You are invited to Join Hillary Clinton at a Campaign Rally on Wednesday, February 13th in Corpus Christi at Whataburger Field - (Tentative schedule) 12 Noon. As more details become available we post on our web site or you can call the Democratic Headquarters at (361) 882-8478 for more info.

Clinton, who is running for president, is running to the state that may make or break candidates vying for their party's nomination.

Anytime a politician of Clinton's national status visits South Texas, it's cause for excitement -- good or bad.

I confirmed her tentatively scheduled appearance on the Web site for the Nueces County Democrats.

A story published online Monday at the Web site of the Corpus Christi-Caller Times, though, notes, "Clinton campaign spokeswoman Adrienne Elrod emphasized that the campaign has not picked a location or a time for the visit here."

Be sure to check back for updates as I learn concrete details.

I talked to local Democratic leaders on Monday who are excited about Clinton's scheduled visit, and the position Texas is in heading into the March primary. Stephen Jabbour, the Democratic party chairman, said he will be in Corpus Christi on Wednesday if his schedule allows.

Are you going? If so, we'd love to view your pictures and video, and read your firsthand accounts.

Let us know. Share your experience in this blog. If we receive enough material, it may even suffice as a print newspaper story.
