Despite being down 37 percent in the polls to Republican South Carolina Sen. Jim DeMint six days out from the Election Day, Democratic Senate candidate Alvin Greene remains in high spirits — and is continuing to push his key message: “DeMint started the recession!”

This morning, in a phone conversation with The Daily Caller from his South Carolina home, Alvin Greene explained his strategy for winning the race.

“I am getting around to the fairs around the state — this fair season — and reminding the folks there that DeMint started the recession,” he said. “That’s the bottom line”

Greene’s campaign manager, Krystel Reid (who is working for Greene pro bono) told TheDC that since the Democratic Party has abandoned Greene, the South Carolina Democrat has had to adopt unconventional methods to get out the vote.

“We are focusing on having direct vocal contact. We are not doing mailers, we are doing phone calls. Our main goal is to talk to people directly,” she said.

According to Greene, people should vote for him because all blame for the recession lies squarely at DeMint’s feet.

“We are focusing on having direct vocal contact. We are not doing mailers, we are doing phone calls. Our main goal is to talk to people directly,” she said.

They don't have enough money to do anything else.

Well what can ya say? he has some balls and ya got respect him for that, but what is really scary is that there are people out there just like him that are voting.

What are you kidding? Have you heard this guy talk? He may be Mentally disabled. He has a screw loose or something.

The only thing I am interested in is to see how many South Carolinans vote for Al Greene.

That will give us an indicator of how many people in the state are really deluded and have mental disorders.

I guess the lesson to be learned here is to change your name to something the complete morons who vote in Democrat primary elections recognize and go from there.

I'm thinking "Chuck Berry" and running for Senate in Missouri

I am no fan of liberal democrats, but can’t someone help this man? He hasn’t a clue what he is doing.

[arrdon]

Yeah; but unless the callee speaks fluent ebonics, the call is moot.

[Vigilanteman]

People may rightly paint Greene as a raving lunatic, but only because he lacks the polish of a professional politician.

But here in Pennsylvania, Joe Sleezetak and his surrogates are blaming Pat Toomey for the financial meltdown even though Pat hasn't been in congress for the last six years and even though Pat last worked for Wall Street 18 years ago

[PalmettoMason]

I would vote for Alvin Greene over Lindsey Graham on a heartbeat

[submarinerswife]

he has some balls and ya got respect him for that he got arrested for showing them to a young girl

Fixed it.

“Despite being down 37 percent...”

Hard to believe it is this close.

Alvin Greene seems like a normal person to me. I think he is simply far less intelligent than average, but somebody has to be. His choosing to seek the nomination was kind of quirky but had he lost the primary there would be absolutely nothing remarkable about the Alvin Greene story. He’s just a fairly normal, dumb guy.

I don't know where WLOS , the ABC news affiliate in Asheville, NC is getting their results, or if this is early voting, but they have Alvin Green ahead of Jim Demint by 66,000 votes with 100% of precincts reporting. (Sheheen is also way ahead of Nikky Haley) Scroll down to bottom of list.

[Carpe Cerevisi]

How can you have 100% of precincts reporting before election day?

Maybe it's his new campaign manager...ALL GLORY TO ALVIN GREENE!
