Michelle Obama Hits Campaign Trail In Connecticut

High-Priced Fundraiser In Greenwich Concludes Day

STAMFORD, Conn. (AP) ― Michelle Obama met with a group of working women in Stamford, touching on themes that have been the hallmark of her husband's campaign for the Democratic presidential nomination.

Obama spent a few hours in a diner Wednesday, emphasizing her husband's message of change and less partisanship.

Conversation among the women focused on education, health care and the challenges they face as workers and mothers.

State Rep. Gerald Fox, D-Stamford, a supporter of Obama's, brought his 6-year-old daughter to listen to the candidate's wife. He says he does not remember a previous primary that has generated as much excitement.

Michelle Obama planned to speak later Wednesday at a $1,000-a-person fundraiser at the Greenwich home of Ned Lamont, the unsuccessful Democratic nominee for U.S. Senate in 2006.

Connecticut's Democratic and Republican primaries are set for Tuesday.
