[img_assist|nid=478|title=Rep. Elijah Cummings|desc=|link=none|url=undefined|align=right|width=95|height=108]Rep. Elijah Cummings, the chief backer of Barack Obama's presidential campaign in Maryland, will campaign for the Illinois Senator in South Carolina tomorrow.

Cummings, a former chairman of the Congressional Black Caucus, is an asset to Obama in a state where at least 50 percent of the Jan. 26 Democratic primary turnout will be African American. He will make an evening appearance in Edgefield County, on the western side of the state.
