Edwards CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1 Sept. 16. He concentrated on poverty, the economy and civil rights, showing signs of tailoring words to fit the racial dynamics of the S.C. primary. Experts have said that black South Carolinians might make up 50 percent of the voters on Tuesday. Edwards was not the only Democratic candidate to use pop ular concert artists in his cam paign. Gen. Wesley Clark’s cam paign had planned a free concert with the band Blues Traveler at Jillian’s on Jan. 27, but it was canceled because of the ice storm that had hit Columbia two days before. Sen. John Kerry’s cam paign was a little luckier and was able to pull off a free event on Saturday featuring singer Carole King at the Sterling Garden Center in Columbia. Hootie and the Blowfish en dorsed Edwards at the end of December, releasing a statement that explained why the band was supporting the North Carolina senator. “We believe John Edwards rep resents everything that is great about America,” the statement read. “A first-generation college student, born in a small mill town, who went to public schools, public colleges and with hard work has become the epitome of the American success story. Even with his great success, he has never forgotten where he came from.” The band also mentioned that it had first met Sen. Edwards at a “Rock the Vote” event in Winston Salem, N.C. in 2000 and has at tended events with him across the country.

Wesley Clark, in answer to a sobbing woman’s story of her family’s hard health care times, said he would go after in surance companies for profi teering and put money back into health care. “We’re going to get health care for the American people,” Clark said. “That is my promise.” The Democratic candidates ap peared individually in front of the crowd and a panel of about 13 grassroots leaders from around the country, four of whom from South Carolina. The candidates gave 45-second speeches and then answered questions from those in the forum. Of the many people in atten dance, graduate student of so cial work Lisa Moore said edu cation and health care in America were the most press ing issues for her in the up coming primary and the gener al election in November. “It seems like we focus on mil itary and other countries other than oyr own,” Moore said. The Presidential Dialogue with America’s Families was one of two major chances for South Carolina voters to hear the Democratic can didates before the state votes in the primary on Feb. 3.

Period. “We use history to make his tory,” said Connell, the 2003 L.A. Grand Slam Poetry champion. “The document that started the country was a spoken word doc ument, and we use spoken word to connect to the audience.” Connell said a spoken word show is a hybrid of many art forms. “At it’s best, it’s a combination of poetry, stand-up comedy and hip-hop,” he said. “It fuses the three to create a dynamic, explo sive show.” A Students can also register t™ vote at the event and practice us ing electronic voting booths while voting on three different issues with regards to this year’s presidential candidates.
