Hunt-

I'm forwarding you a memo from Rick Wade regarding SC and the African American community. In the beginning of it, I asked Rick to give a brief background of what he has done in SC. I know your dad knows Rick, but I thought it important for him to know where Rick is coming from.  Rick leads a strong group that made up the core of President Obama's African American support in '08. This group includes influential leaders from electeds to church and community leaders, and they are not ready for Hillary. They are all big fans of your dad, and can be mobilized. Rick lives both in SC and DC, and could be available to sit down with your Dad and Mike D and company to go in further detail. 

You know Clay Middleton, who is running Hillary's campaign. Clay is positioning himself to play the same role in Clinton's campaign as Rick did in '08 for Obama - to run SC efforts and then direct the national AA outreach strategy. However, Clay has taken a different tact. The Clinton campaign in SC has only targeted elected officials (same mistake they made in '08), and have not engaged the community leaders that made up the core of the Obama campaign. Rick could help put together that core of African American leaders if your dad decides to run.
