COLUMBIA, S.C. (AP) -- South Carolina Democratic Party officials on Thursday upheld a surprising U.S. Senate primary win by an unemployed military veteran, nixing a protest lodged by their favored candidate that could have required a new vote.

The party's executive committee decided there was not enough evidence of impropriety to nullify the June 8 election victory by Alvin Greene, a 32-year-old who lives with his father and waged no visible campaign against a former lawmaker.

All options for the Dems are political suicide.

Try as they might, the South Carolia DemoKKKrats couldn’t lynch Mr. Greene’s Senate candidacy. Seriously, the Dems should know Jim DeMint can’t be defeated, and they should support Mr. Greene fully, if for no other reason that the SC DemoKKKrats and their House Servant Judas Goats need the black vote in November.

Today he said:

"I am the best candidate in the U.S. Senate race in South Carolina. Let's stop my opponent from reversing forward progress in the United States and South Carolina," he said.

A couple days ago he said:

..He's the knucklehead."

Obviously he's gotten backing by the Lib Cabal and gone through series acting/speech lessons.

The problem they just couldn’t work around was the votes. Nobody could pull off such a massive fraud. One precinct maybe. Even one city. But he won statewide, which is a testament to how despised the establishment candidate was. The best the Dems can do now is accept this gift and use it as an excuse for the slaughter that would have taken place in November no matter who they fielded as a candidate.

Ann Coulter said it best: Alvin Greene the most qualified Democrat I’ve ever seen.

Let me get this straight..The dems wanted this unemployed man to step down while he had a chance to get 200K for the rest of his life, free medical care, free license plates giving him a get out of jail free card and uncounted benefits? I DON’T THINK SO...they should have just offered him a CZAR job—maybe in charge of BP relations!~

I thought they would negate the election on the basis the voters cast their ballots for the wrong guy.
