Where did he get the $10K+ filing fee?

Clyburn has called for an investigation into the source of funds that Greene used to pay his state party's $10,440 filing fee. He has also asked the S.C. Democratic Party to request that the federal government investigate the matter, said Kristie Grecko, a spokesperson for his office.

I still want to know where he got the $10,000 to file as a candidate.

“Whats wonderful about this is how does the democrats attack a black man for their white pal. LOL”

Evidently that is not a problem...they will use other blacks, they will vilify him and their media will help. Poor Mr. Greene is going to be lashed with the democrat whip simply because he was not selected by the power elite in the democrat party. They do not like democracy...

There is a famous Woody Allen quote that “90 percent of life is just showing up.” Alvin Greene just proved that sometimes, you don’t even need to do that.

William of Ockham agrees.

“Is Vic Rawl WHITE????”

As the driven snow. You can see the obvious racism here.

I’m shocked.

Great article.

People voted for Greene for whatever reason. Yet now some Democrats want to overturn the people's choice and they say it publicly - that part has scary implications. This was not even a close election, and no piles of ballots kept turning up afterward as happened in Minnesota.

Greene won legitimately, because:

—Out is In

—Unemployed veteran trumps career lawyer politician

***Clyburn says he does not see himself supporting Greene, and says he believes Greene was planted in the race by someone.***

Bunkum. In many elections there are people who run with no intention of trying to win. They see it as a cheap form of advertising for their firm.

Several years ago one of these almost won an election, and was sweating the last votes out hoping to loose. He did loose by just a few votes.

Greene was legally elected to run by citizens of his state.

In a contest where both candidates have no name recognition somebody’s going to win and people’s votes are going to be based on pretty random, nonintellectual judgments.”

Such as, say, race? This man got 100,000 votes.

Considering the exponentially more responsible position of President of the United States, it’s very strange that one Barack Hussein Obama got elected with almost as little background info available as this man.

The answer could be something a simple as: Vic Rawl made some personal enemies in his time as a circuit court judge.

It’s simple. Black liberals voted for him because he’s a black Democrat. I guess the MSM can’t just come out and say that though.

I have wondered that too, but if neither candidate had name recognition, I wonder how race could have figured in.

OTOH, race could have been a matter for word-of-mouth discussion of who to vote for among the Rat faithful that show up for primaries.

The faithful probably also trusted that the S.C. Rat Party apparatus had vetted the candidates minimally, so what did it matter, just vote for the black guy. Sort of like people trusted that party hacks somewhere had vetted Barry.
