ALVIN GREENE: THE MOST QUALIFIED DEMOCRAT I'VE EVER SEEN
June 16, 2010
Democrats have decided that Alvin Greene's surprise victory in the South Carolina Democratic senatorial primary must be the result of a Republican dirty trick.
Greene beat Vic Rawl, a former state representative and judge, with a whopping 60 percent of the vote in last Tuesday's primary, despite Greene's having no job, no house, no campaign website, no campaign headquarters -- indeed, no campaign. Other than paying the $10,000 filing fee, Greene seems to have put no effort into the race whatsoever.
But he does have one thing Rawl doesn't have: In the grand tradition of legendary Democrats such as Teddy Kennedy, Greene has a felony arrest. (Greene's inexperience really shows here: Democrats usually wait until after they're elected to show pornography to college girls.)
So this is not good for the Democrats. Naturally, therefore, they're blaming Republicans.
Rep. James Clyburn, D-S.C., has demanded that the U.S. attorney investigate, ominously suggesting that Greene may be a Republican plant. Clyburn is the third-ranking Democrat in the House.
MSNBC's Keith Olbermann interviewed Greene as if he had Lee Harvey Oswald in the dock. Chris Matthews asked guests: "Do you think this has the look of a dirty trick -- sort of a Watergate number?" Watergate, you'll recall, involved the Nixon White House trying to persuade a mildly retarded black man to run for the Senate.
Obama senior adviser David Axelrod said Greene was not a "legitimate" candidate and called his victory "a mysterious deal." (Yes, how could a young African-American man with strange origins, suspicious funding, shady associations, no experience, no qualifications, and no demonstrable work history come out of nowhere and win an election?)
They're hopping mad, these liberals, but it's not clear what their theory of the crime is. Before accusing Republicans of committing a dirty trick, apparently no one asked the question: "OK, but what was the trick?"
The key to Greene's victory, you see, is that he got more votes. How do liberals imagine Republicans pulled that off? Mesmerize the Democrats into voting for an idiot? If they could do that, John McCain would be president.
There is zero possibility that Republicans skipped their own primary to vote for Greene in the Democratic primary. The marquee South Carolina election in last Tuesday's primary was the four-candidate, mudslinging Republican gubernatorial primary. That one was so heated, it's still to be decided in a runoff next week.
Even Sarah Palin got involved in the race, endorsing Nikki Haley (though not endorsing anyone in the Nevada primary, as I incorrectly gave her credit for in last week's column).
Not surprisingly, more than twice as many South Carolinians voted in the Republican primary (424,893) as voted in the Democratic primary (197,380). Not only that, but a higher percentage of Republican primary voters chose a candidate for Senate (97.12 percent) than did the Democratic primary voters (86.24 percent).
Perhaps realizing this, liberal loons (Keith Olbermann) are now pushing the theory that Republicans somehow ... rigged the voting machines! (This is what happens when you know absolutely nothing about politics but are given a TV show.)

I promise you, if Republicans could have rigged any voting machines, they would have made sure Nikki Haley won by 51 percent, instead of 49 percent, to avoid next week's runoff.Read the rest at Ann Coulter.Com

Grate minds love cheeze!
That was classic, wasn’t it?
“That was classic, wasn’t it?”
I keep offering, but she won’t marry me.
Word for word I think this is her most brilliantly funny column ever.
What really angers the Democrats is that Greene has just demonstrated how Obama got elected.
I swear to G*d that that woman is the funniest and
smartest pundit on the net. I’m typing this
through the tears I cried while reading that
article. She’s tops!!#!
He may be an idiot, but he's our idiot.
No, wait. He's their idiot too.
As bad as Obama is, and he's bad, I console myself with the fact that, at least, McCain will never be president. Obama will never be president either, not legally, but thats another thread.
“Word for word I think this is her most brilliantly funny column ever.”
I think it is...although, they are all so good I can hardly keep from actually laughing out loud...something I don’t usually do...I will not drink coffee while reading her...
MSM could find out EVERYTHING about Joe the Plumber in 24 hours after a totally obscure guy makes the news and they can’t figure out how Greene won?
"What really angers the Democrats is that Greene has just demonstrated how Obama got elected."
Exactly!
No kidding.
Annie has real precision with words, LOLOLOLOLOL
The funniest line in this, one of her all-time funniest columns.
Annie's outdone herself this time. :)
I love you Annie!
I like he a lot but, she’s more woman than I could handle.
Is it possible that Rawl campaign got him on the ballot to allow larger campaign donations (for having a contested primary run)?
