Alvin M Greene, 32, military veteran is the duly elected Democratic nominee for SC senate seat (opposing Jim DeMint) and Rep Jim Clyburn knows nothing about him. No one does. Mr Greene won the first primary he ever entered, which happened to be for national office, even though he has:
No job
No cellphone
No computer
No website
No campaign office
No state Democratic party meetings
No show at state Democratic Convention
No speeches
No recollection of any campaigning
No political experience
Campaign funds paid out: $10,400 filing fee
Campaign funds on hand: $114
Results
Alvin Greene 100,053 (59%)
Vic Rawl 69,645 (41%)
Who’s Mr Rawl? A former judge and 4-term state representative.
According to Mr Clyburn, there are 2 other questionable candidates, which he called “a pattern”. As in Republican plants. Regardless, Clyburn should know who is running for US Senate in his own state. Though it seems no one else in the state cares.
Think anyone will take a fresh look at barry’s win in the SC primary?
And like Scott Lee Cohen before him, certain personal and legal issues have come to light re: Mr Greene. The main mystery being whose side is Mr Greene on – is he a Republican plant or a Democratic stand-in so the state Democratic party can pick their own candidate like they did in Illinois.
At the mercy of an extremely restrained Keith Olbermann.

Listen closely – Greene’s “lawyer” is feeding him some lines.
