Biden to speak in Spartanburg

U.S. Sen. Joe Biden, a potential contender for the Democratic nomination for president in 2008, is scheduled to speak at the Spartanburg County Democratic Convention on March 20th.

According to the Spartanburg Herald Journal:

"What Joe Biden is going to talk about is not Joe Biden for president. He's going to talk about Democrats winning locally," Spartanburg County Democratic Chairwoman Liz Patterson said.

Biden is the first Democrat with possible presidential aspirations to visit the Upstate this year, though others, including former vice presidential candidate John Edwards, have made trips to South Carolina.
