COLUMBIA, South Carolina (CNN) – Here's a quick look at what's making political news in South Carolina today:

Coming off a straw poll victory at the Values Voters Debate in Florida Tuesday, Former Arkansas Gov. Mike Huckabee is in town today, making an appearance on WVOC radio and holding two meet and greets at the University of South Carolina and the Congaree Grill in Columbia.

After Michelle Obama made a South Carolina appearance Tuesday in Anderson, Elizabeth Edwards will visit South Carolina Wednesday, signing copies of her book this evening in Columbia.

Sen. Hillary Clinton's South Carolina health care committee will hold a press conference at 2 p.m. today to reveal how Clinton's $110 billion plan will affect the Palmetto State.

Dan Hoover says Fred Thompson needs a briefing book.

Perhaps responding to this op-ed that made a splash recently, Former Sen. John Edwards tells the AP's Ron Fournier that he's not a phony, "it's just politics."

– CNN South Carolina Producer Peter Hamby
