Of course, Sanders was in South Carolina earlier this year.
Bernie Sanders, the socialist senator from Vermont toying with a primary challenge to Clinton, brought Democrats to their feet with a fiery sermon about the hollowed-out middle class and the rise of an oligarchic form of society controlled by billionaires
The reception Sanders received several delegates called him electric surprised Rep. James E. Clyburn, the states most powerful Democrat, who took it all in from the back of the hall.
I really did not anticipate that from Bernie, Clyburn said. It says something about peoples thirst and hunger for a real message.

Let's hope word has gotten around and he draws a big crowd.

Merrily, I've sworn to never EVER have a Facebook account, so I'll have to take your word for it! Glad Bernie is availing himself of social media though. A necessity in this day and age. I had heard that he gave a powerful speech at the convo in Columbia. I'm not high up in SC Dem ranks, so did not attend. I hope Charleston progressives will turn out in droves to see Bernie. I'm going to inundate the local media with requests to cover.....we'll see how that goes.
