POST AND COURIER: MRS. BARACK MAY VISIT FOR NAACP EVENT

The Charleston Post and Courier is reporting that the wife of Democratic presidential nominee Barack Obama might be stopping by South Carolina next month.

In a related story, has anyone seen my senior year thesis about the handicapped divide in America? Oh that’s right, it’s hidden until 2016 — when my people take over the world.

Obama might appear at the Charleston NAACP branch’s freedom fund banquet next month, and if her visit firms up, it would underscore how Sen. Barack Obama aims to fight for South Carolina votes in a way few Democratic presidential contenders have in the past.

The NAACP hopes to land Michelle Obama as its keynote speaker but declined further comment Wednesday. It’s one of the prime opportunities to talk with the politically active Democratic base in the Lowcountry.

Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton gave the keynote address last year, which some described as a sort of consolation prize after the South Carolina Black Caucus invited Obama to give their keynote address in Columbia. [ROBERT BEHRE - Charleston Post and Courier]

The only thing I think this underscores is the fact that South Carolina journalists are bored. If you want something that underscores Obama’s intent to NOT fight for South Carolina votes, see here, here, here, or here.
