COLUMBIA - Democratic U.S. Senate candidate Inez Tenenbaum is trying to jump-start her campaign, which leading S.C. Democrats concede has so far produced disappointing results.

With polls commissioned by the party showing her trailing her Republican opponent, U.S. Rep. Jim DeMint, by about 10 points, Tenenbaum replaced her media consultant just before Labor Day and has launched herself into a grueling schedule of personal appearances.

"I think she's been struggling to gain momentum and to define her campaign," said former S.C. Democratic chairman Dick Harpootlian.

Tenenbaum and DeMint are competing for the seat being vacated by retiring Democratic incumbent Sen. Ernest "Fritz" Hollings.

I posted this separately on the SC forum, but didn't put the link to the other post.

This could help Tenenbaum.
