Candidates in the race to the White House have set their focus on South Carolina. Republican John McCain started his day in the upstate while Fred Thompson made a trip to the Lowcountry.
He spoke to supporters in Lady's Island today at a meet and greet at Barbara Jean's restaurant. Hundreds packed the eatery to hear his thoughts on health care, politicians, and what keeps him motivated.
Senator Fred Thompson:
"Well, you know, it's about my country. It's about doing our part and leaving it better than when we found it. I think every generation has that obligation."
A win in South Carolina is considered crucial if his presidential campaign is going to continue.
