News 14 Carolina - Political Connections

Orangeburg, South Carolina

Good morning from South Carolina. I am waking up with a cold this morning which makes my voice a little funny on television! If you read my previous entries, we were here to see Obama, Usher, Chris Tucker, and Kerry Washington last night.

The crowd was balistic as Tucker spoke briefly in his signature voice but didn't say too much too funny. The crowd was shaking and the ladies were blowing kisses to Usher. Obama had to wait until they left the building because the crowd wasn't paying attention to him!!

Anywho, we are going to Columbia this afternoon to see Obama's wife, Michelle. We're going to do a story about the spouses campaigning for their significant others. Bill Clinton is traveling the state by himself as well. We haven't seen Elizabeth Edwards yet but expect to this weekend.

I'll keep you posted as the day goes on! Tomorrow we head to a Hillary Clinton event and our colleagues in Charlotte will go to Seneca for Edwards last hometown hurrah before the vote Saturday.
