Democratic candidates for next year's governor's race will be in town this evening.
South Carolina Democratic Party is offering local residents the opportunity to meet all of the state's Democratic gubernatorial candidates during a Meet Our Next Governor reception at the Aiken Men of Action Building, 640 Old Airport Road.
The event will be held from 6 to 7:30 p.m.
Candidates scheduled to attend include State Education Superintendent Jim Rex, attorneys Dwight Drake and Mullins McLeod, Sen. Robert Ford and Sen. Vincent Sheheen.
State Democratic Party Chair Carol Fowler is also a special guest for the reception.
This reception is one of several similar events that the South Carolina Democratic Party will host around the state. Receptions will also be held in Hilton Head, Charleston, Anderson and Pawleys Island.
"We're really excited to have all of our gubernatorial candidates appear in one venue," said former State Democratic Party Chair Ronnie Maxwell in a release. "Democrats are looking forward to a win in the 2010 election. This event is a great way to celebrate the change that one of these candidates will bring to our state."

Comment Title: NOLAN IS NOW WORKING
Nolan was unemployed for some months. At a Health Care seminar, at my house, he thanked President Obama for increasing his unemployment benefit by $25 dollars! Nolan lives in Greenville. Our Governor opposed the Recovery and Reinvestment Act, and delayed taking the $3.63 billion dollars earmarked for South Carolina! There are now 610 Recovery Projects in every county in South Carolina, and (26) in Greenville at a cost of ($50,180,642).In one of Joe Wilson's counties (Aiken), there are (106) Recovery Projects , with a price tag of ($601, 448, 160), one of the highest in any county in the nation! It was President Obama’s care and concern for the people of South Carolina, that made these Recovery jobs possible! Voting 'No!' and making rude emotional outbursts do not create jobs! By the way, Nolan, has now found a job! A young couple visited a house next to mine last week wanting to buy it! Green shoots of economic recovery has now begun in Greenville!
