Former state Rep. Lucille Whipper and her son, Rep. Seth Whipper — both North Charleston Democrats — have thrown their support behind presidential hopeful Sen. Hillary Clinton.

"We need someone with experience and the longtime commitment to make things right again. Hillary spent most of her life fighting for families, for children and for equal opportunity for all people," Lucille Whipper said. "As someone who's had the opportunity to break some barriers myself, I know Hillary has got the right stuff."

Seth Whipper, D-North Charleston, also emphasized Clinton's experience.

The endorsements from the two black lawmakers come as Clinton and her main rival, Sen. Barack Obama, battle for South Carolina's black vote, which is expected to make up half of the turnout in the Jan. 26 Democratic primary.

1. I know Seth Whipper and know him to be a decent man.

He is a friend of South Carolina progressives which is a damned courageous stand in the reddest of red states.
