Questions Raised About Clinton Supporter

South Carolina State Senator Darrell Jackson who only days ago threw his support behind Hillary Clinton, has been asked questions as to the motives behind his support.

Jackson's consulting firm, Sunrise Enterprises has been awarded a $10,000 per month contract to work for the Clinton campaign. Jackson had said a day before the contract was announced that he would be endorsing Clinton.

Sunrise Enterprises specialises in advertising and public relations.

Jackson has said that questions as to his motives were a low blow. He said the timing of the announcements were unfortunate, but that other candidates had also approached the company for support, some even offering more money.

Jackson said that he supports Clinton because she is the best person to take the Democrats to the election in 2008.

This is hardly the news that Clinton needs just days before she makes her first campaign stop in South Carolina.
