President Bush is expected to make an
appearance in Fort Smith on Tuesday.
The trip would be the third to Arkansas by the president since
the start of the year. Arkansas is considered a key state in this
year`s presidential election.
While neither the White House nor the president`s re-election
campaign would discuss the event, a public relations firm handling
news conference that was set for Tuesday with Governor Huckabee
said the governor had to cancel his appearance because of Bush`s
visit to Fort Smith.
Bush visited Arkansas eight times in 2000, when he beat Vice
President Al Gore by 50-thousand votes to win the state`s six
electoral votes.
Presumptive Democratic nominee John Kerry is expected in Little
Rock for a fund-raiser Wednesday.
