Obama edges Clinton out of SC Black Caucus invite By JIM DAVENPORT Associated Press Writer March 7, 2007, 3:26 PM EST COLUMBIA, S.C. -- A planned speech by presidential contender Barack Obama to South Carolina's black legislators has survived a bid by key supporters of Hillary Clinton to have the New York senator take his place. Obama had accepted the South Carolina Legislative Black Caucus' invitation to speak at its April 13 gala. But state Sens. Robert Ford and Darrell Jackson _ who have endorsed Clinton _ tried to sway their caucus to their candidate. The men relented Tuesday night and the caucus unanimously approved Obama's appearance. The annual caucus fundraiser traditionally features a black speaker and will provide a high-profile platform this year in a state that is hosting the first Southern primaries. Black voters accounted for 49 percent of vote in the 2004 Democratic primary here. newsday.com
