It&#039;s about which power brokers have the most influence on the Black vote in South Carolina (Darrell Jackson, Bernice G. Scott) and the younger Obama supporters encroaching on their territory.  A quote from Ms. Scott:&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;i&gt;Ms. Scott is archly aware of Ms. Young&#039;s incursion into her terrain. She said supporters on Lewis Scott Court repeatedly called her just minutes after the Obama campaign workers left. &quot;They said, &#039;Bernice, guess who&#039;s been here,&#039; &quot; Ms. Scott said.
