GOPUSA ^ | June 9, 2010 | Seanna Adcox (Associated Press)

An unemployed military veteran who raised no funds and put up no campaign website shocked South Carolina's Democratic Party leadership by capturing the nomination Tuesday to face Republican U.S. Sen. Jim DeMint in November.

With nearly all precincts reporting, Alvin Greene, 32, commanded 59 percent of the vote against 41 percent for former four-term state lawmaker Vic Rawl, 64, who had raised about $186,000 and had to abruptly scrap a late-week fundraiser for the fall.

State Democratic Party Chairwoman Carol Fowler said voters unfamiliar with either candidate may have voted alphabetically for Greene over Rawl.

Good thing those Democratic voters research their candidates wisely with that proven scientific method of alphabetical order

No real surprise, IMO. Basically, a majority of the people in SC that are Democrat are Black, and Greene was Black and Rawls was White. End of story.

Well the guy did serve in the military. I thought we wanted candidates who were not elitist. I guess you do not want a nobody to run only establishment. If this guy was Republican, I would wish him the best and you would too. I want him to lose only because he is a Democrat but I don’t wish anything bad on the guy.

DeMint, a conservative Republican and tea party darling pursuing a second term, has marshaled a $3.5 million war chest already to face the bare-pockets Democratic underdog.

I did a double take after reading this sentence. Sounds as if it was written by a dem strategist.

We may need to remind our SC Dim friends that the general election will be held on Wednesday, Nov 3rd.

Here in Broward county FL, (a liberal cesspool) I cringe when I look around at the jabba-the-huts that can’t even get out of the Dairy queen booth.
