Hillary Clinton will visit Phila. City Hall today

Former President Bill Clinton won't be coming to South Jersey this week after all - but his wife, the candidate, will be in Philadelphia today.

Democratic officials had said he would visit Cherry Hill to stump for his wife, U.S. Sen. Hillary Clinton (D., N.Y.), who is scheduled to be at Philadelphia City Hall for a 1:15 p.m. event that includes a rally on the northeast corner. Afterward, she will head for New Jersey, where she has events scheduled for 5:30 p.m. at the Bergen County Academies in Hackensack, and 7:30 p.m. at Schuetzen Park in North Bergen.

As for her husband's planned trip to Cherry Hill, "it did not work out," said Brendan Gilfillan, a campaign spokesman. "We would have liked to have one of them in South Jersey."

The New Jersey presidential primary is Feb. 5 for candidates in both parties.
