South Carolina has taken a prominent spot in the upcoming Presidential election - the Dems officially opting for an earlier (Jan. 29th) primary. This is important to the weight of black voters (Blacks made up 49 percent of the 280,000 voters who participated in the Feb. 3 primary in 2004, according to the Washington Times today...) and to the candidacy of Barack Obama.
The state hosts this year's first national presidential debate April 26.
