The only interview I have seen with Greene makes him seem a lot smarter and better as a candidate than how his enemies in the Democratic party portray him. Greene stays on point, and pushes an agenda that is probably smarter than that proposed by most Democrats. He actually sounds like a Democratic version of a Tea Party candidate, and he sounds more competent than the typical Democrat, but of course the bar is pretty low in that contest.
An example from his interview:
TR What do you think makes you a better candidate than DeMint?
[Greene]: We have more unemployed now than any other time in South Carolina's history, so something isn't working. We spend two times more on inmates than students. Priorities are not in order. I want to make a difference and Jim--the incumbent Sen. Jim DeMint--he's against the health care reform. They're trying to repeal the health care law that was passed. The Republicans are trying to repeal the health care bill that was signed into law recently. Things like that. That's the difference. I'm for health care reform. And getting folks to work here.
Even if he were competent, he wouldn’t beat DeMint.
