Kevin Gray, a prominent black activist and author in South Carolina, says he voted for Greene. "When I was in the voting booth I looked at both those names," he says. "I'd seen Vic Rawl on Facebook before, but Alvin Greene, that name looked black." http://www.politicsdaily.com/2010/06/11/who-is-alvin-greene-south-carolina-paper-fills-in-some-blanks/

Yeah, Vic Rawl is a white-looking white guy. So SC blacks voted for the black on election day.

No surprise there...

Love it! "That name looked black." Black enough for Gray.

Ok now somebody is just making up stuff here to see if he can sneak it past the editor. Kevin Gray...says Alvin Greene...sounds like he's black?

"When I was in the voting booth I looked at both those names," he says. "I'd seen Vic Rawl on Facebook before, but Alvin Greene, that name looked black."

This makes total sense. It really does. There are a lot of black people in SC. The last name "Greene" with the "e" on the end evidently is a surname commonly seen among black people. This is no stranger than if an Italian person voted for someone named Tony Soprano, knowing it would be an Italian.

Rawl is just flipped out because he lost. Evidently despite all his money and campaigning he didn't spend enough time ensuring the black people knew who he was. Big mistake. Or maybe they did know and don't want him in office. Tough luck Rawl. Get over yourself; you lost.

From your link:

Along the way, it relays an anecdote from one Manning, S.C. barbershop owner who said Greene brought in a flier and asked to tape it to the window, but forgot to bring tape.

He'll be perfect for when investigators ask for files - he lost them or forgot where they were. A perfect Democrat.
