Alvin Greene

[Chet 99]

Well, I hope all SC Freepers will consider donating to Mr. Greene’s campaign, and perhaps even sign up volunteers. He needs to be convinced of his broad support within the state, and should not under any circumstances, withdraw.

[FlingWingFlyer]

Greene sounds like a typical DemocRAT to me. I don’t know what they are whining about.

[Kozak]

South Carolina Democratic Party Chairwoman Carol Fowler told POLITICO she remains hopeful Greene will reconsider, but in the meantime they are speaking with their attorneys to see if there are other ways to remove him from the ballot.

I guess the only votes that really count are those from lawyers...

[kevao]

Good for you, Alvin! Don’t let those Dems disenfranchise more voters!!!

[Graybeard58]

Hang in there Al, we're pullin' fer ya.

[no dems]

An unemployed, sexual pervert.........Sounds like the ideal Democrat to me.

[no dems]

Has anyone come up with an explanation yet as to HOW this guy won the Primary?

I think it’s hilarious that the S.C. Democratic Chair wants to remove their Primary winner from the ballot.

[Robwin]

Remove him from the ballot? Thwart the will of the people? Fascism, I tell you. Fascism!

Well, ok, it's the Democrats but practically the same thing.

[Lmo56]

They can’t take him off the ballot - he won fair and square and is not under indictment [much less convicted] of anything ...

Hey DEMS - sometimes you just gotta eat the sh*t sandwich ...

[Tzimisce]

Notice how most stories about Dems contain the phrase “vows to stay in the race”?

[wardaddy]

this is a dead race for the Dems

they are effed no matter who gets their nom

Maybe somebody at the White House could offer Mr. Greene a job to step aside?

Afterall, the guy is unemployed with no particular good prospects at this point in time.

Bammy needs to up the Bling to Greene.

[jmaroneps37]

Another kick in the teeth to the Black man from the Democrats??? Now who woulda thunk it?

[RKBA Democrat]

I find this whole thing shocking, simply shocking.

It’s been years since the end of Jim Crow in the south. And here we are with a legitimately elected candidate, a black man, being pressured by the Democratic party Chair, who is white, to withdraw from the race.

Doesn’t the timing strike you as being, well, off? Obviously, the party knew about their candidates legal issues before the election and never brought up the issue. Why? If they were all that concerned about the pending charges, you’d think they would have said something before the election.

This smacks of blatant racism. A black candidate unexpectedly wins against a white candidate and the Democratic party all of a sudden decides to pressure him to withdraw.

Where is the outrage?

[MNJohnnie]

Why should he resign, Rangel, William Jefferson, Bill Clinton and a whole lot of other Democrat politicians committed felony level crimes and were never asked to resign by the Dems.

[ScottinVA]

Those racist dems just hate Greene ‘cause he’s BLACK! (heh-heh-heh...)

[ScottinVA]

Al Sharpton will be rushing to Greene’s aid in 3... 2... 1...

oh, wait...
