President Obama likely doesn’t need much campaigning to win Connecticut this fall. But Obama will be in Fairfield County Monday for a different election-related purpose: Cash.
Obama, leading presumptive Republican nominee Mitt Romney in polling in the Nutmeg State but neck-and-neck with the former Massachusetts governor nationally, will be in Stamford and Westport Monday for a pair of fundraisers.
Hearst Connecticut Media Group will have full coverage of the president’s visit here on the CT Politics blog; on each of Hearst’s websites; and on Twitter.
Here’s a quick coverage guide:

* Kate King has a rundown of the President’s agenda.
* Here’s what you can expect in terms of traffic in the area.
