Hillary Clinton is pulling out all the stops.

The New York senator is booked as a guest on Comedy Central's popular "The Daily Show" for Monday night, on the eve of the crucial March 4 primaries in Ohio, Texas and "other less sexy states," according to a write-up on the show's Web site.

It's Clinton's first "Daily Show" appearance since she announced her run for president. She last joined the show in October 2003 to discuss her book "Living History."

Clinton is banking on strong showings in the Tuesday contests to erode rival Barack Obama's lead and is hammering economic and national security themes on the stump -- but the "Daily Show" appearance might just keep things casual.

The Comedy Central Web site said she's meeting host Jon Stewart "to presumably talk about politics, patriotism and pant suits."
