In Columbia, SC...
Oh my God. Is that NBC anchor Lester Holt at the IHOP? YES! Is that Rep. Corrine Brown over there in that hotel lobby? ... and Rep. Donna Christenson? Wait, hold up. That's political strategist Ed Rollins! That's Rep. Elijah Cummings ... and Maryland Lieutenant Gov. Anthony Brown. That's Ed Chen with Bloomberg News ... and Wendell Goler with FOX.
Who's that guy with the Mitt Romney sweater? Anybody know him?
Mike Huckabee's staying at this hotel, right? Think we can find him?
Is there a better people watching spot than a hotel lobby in the middle of a campaign? I think not. So, we're here, and we're jumping into the story by collecting business cards, trying to sweet talk people who are already too busy and getting too little sleep to make room for just one more interview.
Over the next couple of days, we are going to bring you as much local flavor as we can. We have some great things planned.
Today, a stop at ... where else? A South Carolina beauty shop! What do the women have to say as they get "tightened-up" for the week? We talk to an undecided Democrat, a decidedly decided Democrat (!), an independent and a Republican activist (who's a party leader, so she won't fess up about who she voted for, but has good insights into what other folks are saying).
What do they have to say? We'll let you know...
