Obama to make Missouri stop

Barack Obama will make a campaign stop in Missouri on Tuesday.

The St. Louis Post-Dispatch reports that Missouri Democratic Sen. Claire McCaskill has confirmed Obama, the front runner for the Democratic nomination, will visit Cape Girardeau to hold an economic town hall.

Visiting a state that has already held its primary could signal a switch from campaigning for the nomination against Hillary Rodham Clinton to campaigning for the presidency.
McCaskill told the Post-Dispatch that the town hall will focus on “the losses that working people have suffered” under a Republican president.

A spokeswoman for McCaskill did not immediately return a phone call to The Associated Press for comment on Saturday.
