Chris Dodd in S.C February 17

Chris Dodd will be campaigning in South Carolina on February 17, adding to a growing list of candidates visiting the Palmetto state during that week.

Dodd will be speaking to Democrats in Colombia, and will then head to the eastern counties to continue his campaign.

However, his visit is likley to be overshadowed in the local and national media by the arrival of Barack Obama on February 16. Obama will be campaigning for two days in Colombia and Orangeburg.

And Hillary Clinton arrives on February 19, which is also the day that GOP front runner John McCain has chosen to campaign there.

John Edwards was in South Carolina on Thursday where he had over 500 people at a town hall style meeting. He won the primary there in 2004.
