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

The Los Angeles Times writes up Edith Childs, the "Fired up!" woman behind Barack Obama's favorite campaign anecdote. (Childs also claims Obama fudges a few facts about the now famous story.)

Former South Carolina Democratic party chairman Joe Erwin endorsed Obama for president on Wednesday, saying he plans to work "aggressively" for the campaign.

The Democratic candidates may be in Iowa, but would you settle for a celebrated author instead?

Samantha Power, a Pulitzer-prize winning author and senior foreign policy adviser to Obama, will campaign for the senator in Columbia, Myrtle Beach and Charleston on Thursday.

The Clinton campaign announced that Victoria Rowell, the daytime actress and best-selling author of "The Women Who Raised Me," will campaign across the state Thursday, Friday and Saturday. (She also campaigned in the state in August.) Find an event here.
