Alvin Greene mulls presidential bid

By: Kasie Hunt November 9, 2010 01:00 PM EST

Alvin Greene might run for president.

Greene, the unlikely Democratic Senate nominee in South Carolina who lost overwhelmingly to Republican Sen. Jim DeMint last week, called the state Democratic Party on Tuesday to ask how much it would cost to run for president.

“Maybe. I’ll have to see,” Greene told POLITICO when asked whether he was considering filing to run for president. He confirmed that he called the state party Tuesday to ask about the fee. The state party’s spokeswoman, Keiana Page, confirmed that someone called the party Tuesday asking about the presidential filing fee but said that the caller did not identify himself.

In 2008, South Carolina’s presidential filing fee for candidates was $2,500. Page said the state has yet to set its fee for the upcoming 2012 contest.

That explains why Greene wasn’t sure how much it would set him back to run: He asked POLITICO about how much the fee would be.

Well, he lacks 0bama’s experience at this point in his campaign, but he more than makes up for it in intelligence.

I would vote for Alvin Green over O in a second. I would vote for the “Rent is Too Damn High!” guy over Obama.

Cool. It just shows that anyone can run for President. I don’t care if he runs. He won’t win but if it makes him happy, why not?

He couldn’t do any worse.

Plus his wife would probably spend less on vacation junkets.
