Pot? Kettle?
Just sayin’...
Although it might be fun to see 0bama and 0bamunists push this issue. Could lead to some interesting watercooler discussions.
I don't know who the "recognized candidate" was, but what you say could be the answer. If that's the case, I think it is funny the RATS got burned!
Greene won because the Dem. voters in S. Carolina had no idea who either of the two candidates were and checked the first name listed on the ballot. It doesn’t really matter as De Mint would probably get 80% + against either candidate.
Speaking of Alvin Greene, I kind of admire how he's sticking it to the Democrat establishment. I hope he runs for Clyburn's seat next, and wins!
Racial politics and exactly what may keep Ozero in power as almost 13% of the electorate will vote for him even if he were found in bed with a dead boy.
With 13% of the electorate in his pocket and about another 20% of the electorate brain dead liberals, he has a guaranteed cannot go below rating of 33% in any poll. When he falls to a recent 44% in the polls, that is very significant because that means of the approximate 67% of the remaining electorate, he garners about 10% of the support today or 1 of every 7 of the non wide eyed or racist vote. We have to keep it there and with his help we can!
What “mystery”?
“Warm body to vote with Obama to undermine America.”
Only quaulification for a Dem candidate.
Ah, you still don’t get it. Having the correct political philosophy and being a member of the ruling oligarchy are the only things that can make you a “legitimate” candidate in their eyes.
He actually wouldn’t.
Rawls would have stood no chance of beating DeMint this year but if that race had been superimposed on 2008 there’s a real chance that he would have.
Green is gonna get waxed in the general but don’t think for a second those voters didn’t know exactly what they were doing when they voted for Green. It was a black primary and blacks voted for a black candidate with a black name.
It is no different than how Obama won against Clinton in 2008.
Yep. Green was the first name on the Dem voting ballot and he is black - mystery soleved.
I agree! Turn their race card on them!!! It’s because he is totally black.... not half black but 100% black. Where is the outcry about attacking his character and “assuming” he couldn’t win? It’s all about the color of his skin...don’t ya know.....
Takes one to know one. I think the demrats would be wiser to ignore the question of a candidates legitimacy. So far it has served The Marxist Usurper Onada well.
Actually it is very easy to explain how it could have happened. It is the consequence of the politics of racial bloc voting.
In the primary 424,893 ballots were cast in the Republican primary and 197,380 votes were cast in the Democrat primary for a total of 622,273 votes cast in the two Senate primaries. Greene received 100,362 votes. Total voter turnout was 24.5%. African Americans comprise 28.5% of South Carolina’s population. In South Carolina a voter does not choose party affiliation until she/he shows up to vote in the primary at which time she/he chooses which party’s ballot he/she wishes to vote.
It is well documented African Americans vote Democrat at a 90% + rate and vote for black candidates 95%+. It is therefore safe to assume at least 90% of the African Americans voting, voted in the Democrat primary, not the Republican primary.
Assume blacks voted in proportion to their percentage of the population (28.5%). This means of the 622,273 votes cast in the primary, 177,348 were cast by African Americans. Assuming 90% of these 177,348 African Americans voted in the Democrat primary, the African American vote in the Democrat primary was 159,613 of the 197,380 total votes cast in the Democrat primary or 81%!
If approximately 159,000 votes were cast by African Americans in the Democrat party, it is not hard to believe 100,362 votes were cast in that primary for the winning candidate who also happens to be African American.
Sorry about that David Axlerod and Barack Obama. When you play the politics of racial identity, and one race consistently votes in a bloc for one party and one racial profile, you should not be surprised or disappointed by the outcome.
He was elected the same way Clyburn was, by the stupid black voters in SC.
Maybe BHO can offer Greene a job in the Administration to get out of the race.
Yeah, their chickens have come home to roost. How sweet it is....lol.
As follow American’s it is very important that we NOT allow the Democratic Party to “racially profile” this “officially” voted in candidate.
The college student in the porn case said he had to borrow money from family to post the $500 bail. I don’t know what the time frame is from when he got out of the army, and the porn case, and the election filing. Some have said the money may have come from his military service (some form of signing bonus?)
