The South Carolina Democratic Convention will be held this weekend, May 2nd-3rd in Columbia.  We get to send 54 delegates to Denver from SC.

Other business at the convention includes electing DNC committeemen.

One of the current DNC committeemen, Waring Howe Jr, is running for re-election to his post.  Mr. Howe, as a current DNC member and superdelegate, has endorsed Barack Obama, but I have heard from a good authority that he has been calling Obama headquarters in Chicago and telling them that he will switch to Hillary Clinton if other candidates for the new term of the DNC committeeman don't drop out.

I've been lurking on dKos now for a few years, but I finally registered an account a few weeks ago.  I signed up because I'm a Democrat in South Carolina, and I thought I might have a few things to say about the race for our party's nomination.

I'm writing my first diary to explain the direct effect on my county party of dragging this nomination fight out for the next few weeks.  Hillary Clinton's insistence on taking this to Pennsylvania has caused direct harm to efforts to organize my county party.
