The Democratic candidates are drumming up support in Maryland and Virginia ahead of Tuesday's primary.
Peggy Lee reports the Clinton machine made its way to Maryland, and former president Bill Clinton made several stops in the state, including Catonsville.
"She should be your choice on Tuesday, and I hope you'll vote for her. Thank you," said Bill Clinton.
In Belvedere Square, former first daughter Chelsea Clinton made her rounds smiling, shaking hands and asking for support for her mother.
Hillary herself made a stop in Manassass, Va. and plans another one Sunday night in Bowie.
So far, Clinton has endorsements from Maryland's governor, Lt. Governor Anthony Brown, Senator Barbara Mikulski and former Lt. Governor Kathleen Kennedy Townsend.
Clinton is finding a tough opponent in Barack Obama who has the support of Congressman Elijah Cummings, Attorney General Doug Gansler, Comptroller Peter Franchot, Mayor Sheila Dixon, and City State's Attorney Pat Jessamy.
He also got a nod from the Baltimore Sun.
Obama spent his day campaigning in Virginia.
"We won north, we won south and we won in between. And I believe with your help, we can win Virginia on Tuesday if you are ready to stand for change," said Obama.
He plans to appear Monday in Maryland.
On the Republican side, Mike Huckabee spent his day in Virginia appealing to conservative voters there.
"Frankly, we don't need a lot of law if we are people of moral clarity. There are only ten basic laws that we need if you think about it--the ten commandments cover it all," said Huckabee.
His opponent front runner John McCain isn't campaigning this weekend, though he did get an endorsement from the Baltimore Sun.
