More "Questions" About "Mysterious" South Carolina Senate Candidate

He can't string a coherent sentence together. Can't form a coherent thought, either. Doesn't understand the issues. Has no idea what he's doing. Didn't have a real job. He was a virtual nobody! But enough about Obama.

The world's biggest whiners -- mostly known as "Democrats" -- are whining and complaining that Republicans in South Carolina selected their nominee for them.

Alvin Greene is a jobless military veteran who won the nomination handily last Tuesday, with 59 percent of the vote. Had more voters known about his felony charge before the primary, Greene would've won by an even bigger margin. This was a Democrat primary, remember.

Greene happens to be black. His defeated opponent -- Vic Rawl -- is a white male. On the basis of fairness and out of their deep love for democracy, Democrats want to nullify the primary, force the black guy to bow out so that the white male who lost the nomination can pretend to be their legitimate nominee. Maybe the White House should offer Greene a job running Rawl's campaign on a platform of diversity.

Democrats are poring over the election results, trying to find out how a candidate few people knew could win a primary, versus that household name, Vic Rawl, who was riding high at 4 percent name recognition.

Appearing on NBC's Meet the Press yesterday, Obama honcho David Axelrod questioned Greene's legitimacy. Already there are demands to see his birth certificate. "This whole thing is odd, and I don't really know how to explain it," said Axelrod, bewildered as to how the candidate who got the most votes mysteriously won.

Axelrod devised a winning campaign strategy for a black candidate named "Hussein," but can't imagine a winning campaign strategy for a black candidate named "Alvin Greene."

Appearing on CNN's State of the Union, Democrat Rep. James Clyburn of South Carolina claimed their nominee must be a "plant", since we all know Democrat primary voters are geniuses. As to who was behind the plot, Clyburn helpfully narrowed down the list of possible suspects to one -- "someone". "I said he was someone's plant, and it turned up after the elections . . . as I said earlier, something untoward was going on," said Clyburn, summoning his awesome detective powers.

Clearly, this "someone" tricked 100,000 people into voting for Greene because, until now, nothing "untoward" has ever happened in a Democrat primary, not with SEIU and ACORN guarding the integrity of elections.

To get to the bottom of this dark plot, Democrat state Rep. Todd Rutherford recently met with Greene personally to share a deep intellectual discussion. Rutherford told Fox News that "about two questions into a conversation with [Greene] it would become apparent that he's not probably fit to answer the questions fitting a Senate candidate." The black candidate even failed Rutherford's literacy test.

Democrats insist there must have been a plot because Rawl won more absentee ballots than Greene -- racking up 84 percent of the vote in one county. Greene getting 59 percent of the vote is "evidence" of fraud, but Rawl getting 84 percent isn't. Greene didn't run any absentee ballot effort whatsoever -- so it's a real shock that Rawl won more absentee ballots.

Before the primary, hardly anyone had ever heard of Rawl or Greene, so it's a good bet that winning was a function of ballot placement, ergo, Greene won, ergo, Democrats and their entire staff at MSNBC will now spend months in a parodic search for answers to this bizarre mystery, thank goodness. Luckily, Keith Olbermann is heading the probe, sparing no effort to unearth the 'Klansmen for Greene' racket crafted by Michael Steele whose plant robbed Rawl of the chance to lose to Sen. Jim DeMint. And they accuse Greene of being dumb.

Anyway, that's...

Let him run and see what happens. Isn’t this what the tea party is about finding people who are not involved in politics. Yes he is a democrat but who cares. Funny that he has this possible felony coming down the pike but that just makes it easier for us.

Pastor Manning should go to South Carolina to rally Blacks against this abuse of their voting rights.

A jobless man who faces felony obscenity charges as the party’s nominee for the Senate.

An idiot from Chicago and known socialist/Marxist was the party’s nominee for President.

I see a theme here with the Democrats.

Interesting comment in the NYTimes comment section by heyera of Baton Rouge, “The press needs to quit asking why Greene ran and start asking the Democratic Party why they have a problem nominating a 32 year old African-American newcomer who is University of South Carolina grad with a BA in Political Science and 13 years of honorable service as their standard bearer in a general election.”

David Axelrod, President Obama’s senior adviser, has added his voice to those saying they smell something fishy in a Democratic primary in South Carolina that selected a jobless man who faces felony obscenity charges as the party’s nominee for the Senate.

I agree. Greene is unusually qualified for a Dem, and I want to know how he made it past their usual screening process.

South Carolina’s primaries are open. (If there is a runoff, a voter can only vote in the runoff of the same party he voted in at the primary, but this doesn’t apply here — it was not a runoff.)
