Columbia, SC – Newly-elected South Carolina Democratic Party chair Carol Fowler released the following statement on Florida’s legislation regarding the 2008 presidential primary:

“The South Carolina Democratic Party is committed to working with the DNC to ensure that its original intentions, which are that South Carolina is the first Southern state to hold its primary for the Democratic nomination, are carried out.

“The DNC chose South Carolina as an important early primary state because of our diverse population and because South Carolina is the perfect state for person-to-person, retail politics. We’re committed to working with the DNC to follow the rules and ensure that its original intentions are carried out. We believe that the process spelled out in the DNC’s rules is most likely to result in the selection of the strongest possible nominee.”
