It’s probably safe to say that South Carolina Senate Dem primary winner Alvin Greene will not be hearing from anonymous senior administration officials out to offer him a cushy job in exchange for him dropping out of the race. Instead, I imagine the White House (and many others) are hoping the press will do their dirty work and solve the strange mystery of how Greene — a totally unfunded, unknown — won the SC primary last week.
When asked this morning on Meet the Press whether he thought Greene was a “legitimate candidate” David Axelrod did not pull many punches.
It’s doesn’t appear so to me. It’s a mysterious deal, he didn’t campaign, the whole thing is odd, and I don’t really know how to explain it. I don’t think anyone else does either….I think the Democrats of South Carolina deserve a strong, credible candidate, and I guess he would argue he won 60% of the primary so that would be him. How he won the primary is a big mystery though, and until you resolve that I don’t think he can claim to be a strong, credible candidate.
Um, yes. Maybe Greene will turn out to be the real life political version of a fake Twitter account and when the fun dies down someone will appear to take responsibility. Watch below.

In other words, “Get to the back of the bus, Alvin.”
I can’t wait to see the arrest of Mr. Greene when it appears on YouTube. That should go viral.
uhmm,
Not exactly; a Blackman not approved of…is told to GET OFF THE BUS by the political class!
Greene is just as legitimate as Axelboys boss.
More so. At least Greene served in the military.
Alvin Greene has the ‘judgment to lead’!
Saying he is unqualified or not a serious contender is indeed a racist thing to say. The media has told us that for 2 years now!
You have a black Democrat candidate for SC Senator, Ax. DEAL WITH IT!
He qualified, he ran and people voted for him, sounds legit to me, LOL!
I bet he has a birth certificate too. He may even have teachers who remember teaching him.
Shhh....be quiet about that birth certificate....it’ll happen by this weekend.
Not legitimate? Maybe Axelrod should ask to see Alvin Greene’s birth certificate.

He can vote “present” as well as Obama did. He can vote party line as well as the others if he feels like voting. Senators neither write nor read the bills they vote on.
What, exactly, is their beef with this guy? He deserves a cushy pension and health care package as much as anyone.
Grrrrrr!
Does anyone know what % of the S. Carolina Dems are black. I assume it’s between 75-80%. Therefore, IMHO, it would appear that they voted for him simply because he is black, omaking his race the ONLY criteria in their choice over an obviously qualified candidtae who happens to be white. THus we now see the birth of a NEW political species...not a “yellow dog” Dem, not a “blue dog” Dem, but a “black dog” Dem...
Axelrod’s boss is illegitmate and he is worried about Greene! LOL!!!
I have always been of the opinion that if Louie Farrakhan
were on the Democrat ticket for national office, up to 90 percent or more of blacks would vote for him.
The elephant in the room is that Greene was the most qualified candidate on the Democrat ballot. He is probably the most qualified nationwide when you compare him to elected Democrats.
Alvin is probably as legitimate as Obama.
