WASHINGTON _ Archie Parnell, the Democratic candidate for Congress in South Carolina's 5th District whose election prospects dimmed after revelations he once committed an act of domestic violence, could get a significant boost the night before the election from state Democratic kingmaker Jim Clyburn.
Clyburn _ the South Carolina congressional delegation's lone Democrat, most senior black member of Congress and assistant House minority leader _ will appear alongside Parnell at a fish fry in Sumter.
The Monday evening event will be Parnell's final campaign appearance before Election Day, and a final chance for Clyburn to help Parnell energize crucial voters.
