 Hillary Triples Campaign Spending in S.C.
Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton (D-N.Y.) has more than tripled her campaign spending in South Carolina, taking aggressive action in a state political experts call a “must-win” for Sen. Barack Obama (D-Ill.) because of its high percentage of black voters. While most attention has focused on the race between Clinton and Obama in Iowa, and to a lesser extent New Hampshire, competition between the two Democratic front-runners has quietly intensified in the Palmetto State since the end of June.

Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton (D-N.Y.) has more than tripled her campaign spending in South Carolina, taking aggressive action in a state political experts call a “must-win” for Sen. Barack Obama (D-Ill.) because of its high percentage of black voters. While most attention has focused on the race between Clinton and Obama in Iowa, and to a lesser extent New Hampshire, competition between the two Democratic front-runners has quietly intensified in the Palmetto State since the end of June. The gathering activity in the first Southern primary state shows that while Obama’s performance in Iowa is crucial, as his aides have acknowledged, a loss in South Carolina could slam the door on his campaign. “For one candidate, there is a line being drawn,” said Joe Werner, executive director of the South Carolina Democratic Party. “He feels he has to carry South Carolina. That candidate is Sen. Obama.”In the second quarter of this year, Obama spent $150,000 on staff salaries in South Carolina, according to reports filed with the Federal Election Commission (FEC). Overall, he spent $480,000 in the state between April 1 and June 30. Clinton spent $38,000 on salaries and $120,000 overall in the state during the same period. Between July 1 and Sept. 30, however, Clinton spent $375,000 in South Carolina, according to spending data collected by the FEC. Clinton has now spent $323,000 on staff salaries in the state.Obama’s spending, meanwhile, has remained relatively consistent. He spent $410,000 on the state in the third quarter of this year, about $70,000 less than between April and June.Werner, who worked briefly for Clinton’s campaign before taking a position with the state party, noted that black voters are expected to make up 50 percent of the Democratic primary electorate in South Carolina.
