Manning, SC -- Democratic candidate for Senate Alvin Greene saw his longshot campaign come to a close Tuesday night. Although he gained an impressive number of votes, he fell short of defeating Senator Jim Demint.
He made a bizarre post-campaign appearance in Manning. 200 people were expected for his campaign party, but only about 2 people showed up, along with Greene and his family.
News Channel 7's Jonathan Carlson was the only Upstate reporter there and attempted to speak with Greene in a sometimes odd interview.
As he entered the catering hall, Greene was asked if he would run again. He replied, "I don’t know."
When asked if he agreed with some people's perception that his campaign was a "joke", he replied, "no, no, no."
When asked if he called Senator Demint to concede the race, he moaned, "nooooooo...." and ran off.
Greene proceeded to run around in circles in the hall's main room, as reporters followed him asking questions.
At times, his focus was more on the finger foods on the table, as opposed to the election results.
Greene then presented the reporters present, with a comic book he printed of himself, in which he called himself a "warrior". A warrior, that will save you and your home.
You can watch the exchange in the video box above.
LoL. Yeah, hard for them to discern between 2, 3, 5, 8, 60 ...LoL
There were a few ghosts there, too, checking out the finger foods.
“It’s just... um.... I’m ok...”
Thousands voted for him.
From the U.S. Census Bureau, South Carolina population for 2009:
Black persons, percent, 2009 (a) 28.2%
Tingly leg syndrome. And they called O’Donnell a nutjob.
He got 28000 votes for the same reason he won the primary: his name is Al Green, and a lot of dumbass-Americans assumed it was that Al Green.
Oops, not 28000 votes, 28%.
Did anyone read the comments on the links page? Some lefty had to remark the reason Greene was on the ballot because people couldn’t stomach “Dimwit” which I am assuming is an insult to DeMint. So I ask are these Democrats really so stupid they would rather have a retard than a conservative? That is off the chain type of nuts if you ask me.

It’s a racist thing. See upthread. Greene took 28 percent of the votes. Black’s comprise 28 percent of the population. They would sooner vote for a retard (so long as he’s Black) than vote for a legitimate candidate.
If you think this guy was bad, my district in Texas had two choices for the House: Pete Olsen, the incumbant republican and Kesha Rogers, a Lyndon LaRouchie who claimed to be a democrat. Her posters all over the district had the hitler mustached Obama with IMPEACH Obama all over the poster! Her cult like supporters manned tables all over the place pushing handouts about colonizing the Moon and Mars. This woman still managed to get over 30,000 votes! The dems in this district really had no one to vote for and had to vote for a woman who openly opposes their savior!
That is sad ... where were the people who propelled him to victory in the primary?
I think he would have gotten at least 4 people if he would have advertised it as a “free food” event.
I’ve got $100 that says it was the same thousands that voted for Zero because of his skin color and voted for Greene for the very same reason. Very scary and a sad commentary on parts of our population.
This shows the racism and where it exists in South Carolina. The vote in lock step mentality has created a disease in the Democrat Party and there are plenty on minds that are still wasting.
There were 3 or 4 districts where this guy got 60%+ of the vote.
Seriously.
Dems in SC are not that bad.
I say whomever the 30% that voted for this idiot need to be de-franchised, they haven’t enough sense to come out of the rain, much less vote. Probably will not be difficult to ID em.
Black persons, percent, 2009 (a) 28.2%
I guess that figure includes children, which means a lot of white folks voted for him too.
See reply #37.
I could write and draw it myself, but it would stink. I'm not crazy enough. Crazy people can draw.
Janitor and security guard?
How the heck do you apply 'about' to 'two'? Could've been two and a half, two and three quarters - hard to tell with all that cricket noise?
