ORANGEBURG, S.C. (AP) – For Hillary Clinton, Saturday's South Carolina presidential primary is a chance to not just win – but win big.

After an up-and-down start to the 2016 presidential contests for Clinton, a sizable victory over Bernie Sanders would be an emotional boost for her White House campaign and a chance to wipe away the fraught memories of her 2008 loss in the state.

It would also set Clinton up for a big delegate haul in next week's Super Tuesday contests in the South.

Rather than devote precious time to a state he's prepared to lose, Sanders spent much of the past week in areas that vote in March. Even on Friday, Sanders began his day with a rally in Minnesota before heading south for a pair of events.
