Fred Thompson Campaigns in SC

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.
