Columbia, SC- It's official. Senator Barack Obama's Campaign for Change has come to South Carolina. The South Carolina Democratic Party will open its first office for the Campaign for Change Friday in Columbia.

The office, located at 1529 Hampton St. Suite 105, is part of a new state party structure dedicated to managing the Democratic campaign in SC. Campaign for Change staff and volunteers will work to make sure that Democratic candidates at every level are elected in the fall. Volunteers will help with conducting phone banks, performing voter canvasses, and executing other campaign activities.

SCDP officials say more Campaign for Change offices are expected to open in counties around the state over the next few weeks.

"South Carolina Democrats are thrilled about the opening of our first Campaign for Change office, because we know we have a real chance to carry the state for our presidential nominee," said South Carolina Democratic Party Chair Carol Fowler.
