Aiken hosts large GOP rally ahead of SC primary
Simons predicts a major Aiken event as the centerpiece of South Carolina primary week with smaller rallies in Spartanburg and Myrtle Beach. About 3 500 attended the USC Aiken rally before 2000, and organizers say thousands are expected again with no advance tickets, donations to the Aiken County GOP welcomed. Georgia voters may cross into Aiken for Super Tuesday prep as South Carolina voters vote February 5.
