Clinton backers have ties to media firms - Yahoo! News: "COLUMBIA, S.C. - Two more black South Carolina lawmakers endorsing Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton have ties to a media consulting firm hired by the White House hopeful. However, both the lawmakers and the campaign said Thursday their support has nothing to do with any business dealings. Clinton's campaign announced this week that state Reps. David J. Mack III of North Charleston and Terry Alexander of Florence, along with several other black politicians, had endorsed Clinton for president. 'I believe that she has the best chance to bring a Democrat in the White House,' Mack said Thursday. 'That's where my focus is: Who has the best chance to take back the White House.' Mack and Alexander operate offshoots of Sunrise Communication of Columbia, which is owned by influential state Sen. Darrell Jackson. The connection was first reported by The (Columbia) State in Thursday's newspapers."
