1. I'm not sure, but I think the Democratic convention was the last time Sanders was in South

Carolina. He and O'Malley both got standing ovations there. Hillary appeared by video and via surrogate McAuliffe. While the article describes the reception for McAuliffe as tepid, Hillary polled far, far ahead of Sanders in South Carolina in an August 3 poll, which seems to be the latest. (Of course, we know that Sanders is not the candidate who is spending on Polls.)

Let's hope Sanders and South Carolina for Sanders can begin to close the gap, although I am not optimistic about a win. Here's hoping for a great rally though.

The South Carolina primary is February 20 (unrelated fact: the Nevada caucus begins that day).

Sen. Bernie Sanders visited SC on October 18-19, 2013. On the evening of October 18 he spoke at a "Fight for Economic Justice" town hall meeting sponsored by South Forward at the Eau Claire Print Building in Columbia. On October 19 he spoke at the S.C. Progressive Network fall retreat at Penn Center on St. Helena Island.
