There has been confusion surrounding a planned or suggested visit by Sarah Palin to Tampa Monday, but it’s apparently off.

Instead, Hillary Clinton will campaign in Tampa Monday for Barack Obama.

Local McCain campaign officials leaked plans for a Palin visit earlier this week—prematurely, according to the campaign. Yesterday, the visit was said to be still possible but in question.

Today, Hillsborough McCain Co-Chair Greg Truax said there will be no visit, but Sen. Mel Martinez was quoted in the Miami Herald as saying Palin will visit Miami, Boca Raton and Tampa Monday, hurricanes willing. Truax could respond only that no planning—seeking a venue, for example—is being done for a Tampa visit.

We’re provide clarification when we get it, but presidential campaigns work on notoriously short notice, and plans change minute-to-minute.

Meanwhile, Mark Bubriski confirms Hillary Clinton will make a campaign stop in Tampa Monday—“details unconfirmed,” he added.
