(( The fight for South Carolinas 37 delegates started mean, and ended mean with aides for Senator John McCain complaining voters were being turned away at the polls.

SOT.SEN. JOHN MCCAIN, R- PRESIDENTIAL CANDIDATE 14:02:07
If anyone anywhere in South Carolina is deprived of the ability to vote, its just no fair. Its not keeping with the principals of the voting rights acts, and the principals of Abraham Lincoln and the Republican Party.
COWAN ON CAM:
At the last minute, state officials said nearly two dozen polling places in Greenville South Carolina had to be consolidated because there werent enough volunteers to staff them.
NARR:
Its an area suspected of being a stronghold for Independent and cross over voters just the kind McCain had been counting on to make the difference in a race that went down to the wire.

NAT/SOT CAMPAIGNING

NARR:
George W. Bush had locked up the party establishment. By yesterday, he lead in most polls, but by margins slimmer than he had even two weeks ago, but he remained confident.

SOT/GOV. GEORGE W. BUSH, R-PRESIDENTIAL CANDIDATE

NARR:
The key to South Carolina was turnout, and both camps worked feverishly in the last days of the campaign to get their faithful to the polls.

One way or another they came today... many believe in numbers that may double the turnout in 1996.

SOT/CHARLIE RHODES, POLLING VOLUNTEER 13:37:24
This morning we had about 100 people waiting in line. Lee: Before the polls even opened? A: right.

SOT/ESTHER SHAW, POLLING VOLUNTEER 13:25:50
I think its going to be the biggest weve ever had in Charleston.
NARR:
Part of that was due to the drama. It had been a long few weeks of tough and negative campaigning that proved expensive for both candidates, and seemed to cost voters nerves as well.

SOT/MOS (WOMAN IN RED) 13:24:10
They have been so nasty. And I'm really tired of the ads, I'm glad today is Election Day.
NARR:
Whoever loses here will have little time to re group before next weeks Michigan and Arizona primaries, now just three days away.

McCain needs a victory to continue his surge. Bush needs a victory to bolster supporters confidence. Either way, South Carolina is playing a role even the old timers here are calling: historic. ))

The Booker T- Washington Monument in Franklin County is a poignant reminder of slavery in our area.

Although worlds apart in social status...the slaves' cabin was believed to be located just a few feet away from the owner's home.
But the smokehouse was perhaps the most symbolic structure on the farm.
To the owners, it was said to represent self- sufficiency...but to the slaves, it was a place of torment.
It's said that an often hungry Booker T- Washington could smell the meat inside the smokehouse, but the door was always locked...
