A black S.C. Democrat has already discovered the real reason Alvin Greene won. I wrote in an earlier post today:
So, finally, weve got the answer about Alvin Greenes victory! Black South Carolina DemocRAT Rep. Todd Rutherford said several of his family members voted for Mr. Greene because they werent familiar with either candidate and they thought Mr. Greene had the more African-American name.
So, the 70% black DemocRAT S.C. primary turnout guessed that Alvin might be black. That was the basis of their decision-making regarding how they should vote. So now you understand the full intellectual depths of the DemocRAT party: its based almost exclusively on racism, the exact same way Obama got elected. No wonder the Rats and their lapdog media outlets are so obsessed with race!
Greene had a more patriotic name, shared with South Carolina patriot Nathanial Greene- Vic Rawl’s name just has more of a name one would associate with a car or insurance salesman or a cheap politician.
Further, South Carolina has an open primary. People across the political spectrum could choose the ballot they wanted and had interest in. Many I’m sure chose the GOP ballot where the governor’s race had national interest, racial innuendo and a real opportunity for Democrat voters to either voice their opinion or cause mischief. That just cut down on the number of voters on the D side, making it easier for a upstart like Greene to win.
