Wow, Dumbocrats elect a convicted felon and they blame Republicans?

Rove, you magnificent Bastard.

The GOP could not organize a picnic. If this guy is a plant, it’s not the GOP behind it.

I found this article earlier today.

The South Carolina Democrats certainly have fallen on hard times since the State was the birthplace of the Confederacy.

From your source:

Theory two: Blacks spell Greene with an “e” on the end, and the average voter in a South Carolina Democratic primary is a black woman. Also, Greene’s name appeared above Rawl’s on the ballot and the name Rawl sounds like white Charleston aristocracy. Most voters didn’t know who Greene or Rawl was and Rawl didn’t campaign enough to earn high name recognition even though he certainly campaigned very hard throughout the state. A massively uninformed electorate chose the name Greene over Rawl and it’s just that simple.

[Huskrrrr]

Yeah, must be Rove’s doing. Ha!

This is a hilarious predicament for the Demrats.

Keep digging, it is fun to watch.

The Republicans would have had to have known that in the future Democrat voters would overwhelmingly chose Greene, a man none of them had ever seen, knew anything about, or understood.

Greene didn't bother campaigning.

BTW, this was the Democrat primary, so if there was any cheating done the Democrats were the ones doing it.
