ST. LOUIS — The wife of Democratic vice presidential candidate Joe Biden plans to stop at several cities around Missouri this weekend.

The Barack Obama campaign says Jill Biden will appear at events on Friday in the Columbia area, St. Charles, St. Louis and Jefferson County.

On Saturday, she'll be at events in the Cape Girardeau, Springfield and Joplin areas. And on Sunday, events are scheduled in the St. Joseph and Kansas City areas.

Jill Biden is expected to discuss the economy, health care and education.

Recent polls show Obama and Republican John McCain running about even in Missouri.

Last week, Joe Biden spent two days campaigning in Missouri.

Obama is expected to campaign in Missouri this weekend as well, making stops in St. Louis and Kansas City.
