John Edwards, Barack Obama, Hillary Clinton Visit area today

Former North Carolina senator John Edwards was in Florence and Sumter Sunday, where he met-up with a crowd of about 300 at Roger's Bar-B-Que and Seafood restaurant.
Edwards is scheduled to make appearances in Myrtle Beach, and Pawleys Island Monday.
Edwards says he is confident he will win the state's primary coming up at the end of the month.
He's hoping to appeal to black voters, who made up nearly half the primary ballots cast in 2004, when he won the state.
"Just because of having grown up in the south, first in the segregated south, then a south that was going thru a lot of change in my early years, I understand in a very personal way, the struggles that that African Americans have gone through," Edwards said.
Edwards also made stops in Hilton Head, Barnwell and Aiken yesterday, rallying supporters in his native state.

New York Senator Hillary Clinton, fresh off her victory in New Hampshire, was in Columbia Sunday, talking to supporters there.
Clinton addressed the African-American Presbyterian Church Sunday morning.
She later held a two-hour town hall meeting in the capital city, and had a sit-down meeting with a group of women at a bistro.
Democratic contender Barack Obama is also making his presence known in our area. His wife, Michelle, is scheduled to make appearances Monday in Florence, and Georgetown, where her grandfather was raised.
