COLUMBIA, South Carolina (CNN) - Here's a quick look at what's making news in South Carolina politics this Friday morning:

The State reports there will be a protest vigil outside the Barack Obama Gospel concert in Columbia on Sunday where controversial singer Donnie McClurkin will appear.

Also, former New York City mayor Rudy Giuliani announced his "S.C. College Students for Rudy" committee. Many current college students were in high school during Sept. 11. Some were in middle school.

Stephen Colbert makes his first (sort of) campaign visit to South Carolina on Saturday, visiting his hometown of Charleston, where he will be honored by Mayor Bob Coble.

One man has had enough of automated calls from politicians.

President Bush will be in Columbia on Nov. 2 for a fundraiser for Sen. Lindsey Graham, who is up for re-election in 2008. It's Bush's first fundraising visit to Columbia since he was elected.
