TotT is a daily rundown of campaign events, compiled by Katie Rooney.
Sen. Hillary Clinton (D-NY) has a jam packed weekend. Friday she speaks to the International Association of Fire Fighters in Portsmouth, N.H. along with several other candidates. But Saturday Clinton zips from one city to another - she gives the commencement address at Claflin University in Orangeburg, South Carolina in the morning then speaks at Ohio Democrats' fundraiser in Columbus on the Ohio State Fairgrounds at 7 p.m. Meanwhile her supporters are even more widespread. Saturday the Clinton campaign urges supporters to canvass New Hampshire by going door to door, holding phone banks and participating in other grassroots activities around the state from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m.
