Alvin Greene Can't Immediately Name GOP Opponent Jim DeMint
RealClearPolitics ^ | June 14, 2010 | RealClearPolitics

Radio talk show host Mark Levin interviews US Senate candidate Alvin Greene (D-SC) about his campaign, his pornography scandal, if he is a GOP plant and what he hopes to achieve if elected Senator.

The notable part of the interview occurs at the end, when Greene is unable to name his Republican opponent Jim DeMint. Greene gave a long pause and sounded like he was searching through talking points for DeMint's name.

Had a buddy in college who dropped out a semester to go in the Air Force. He didn't intend for it to be just one semester but he became violently ill eating food in the mess halls.

The Air Force "administratively separated him"

You can't be in the military and also be UNABLE to eat the food. My buddy really, really, really wanted to be in the Air Force BTW.

It blew my mind to hear him say that in his 13 years of service...that he was in INTELLIGENCE in the Air Corps and supply in the Army.

I would trust Alvin far more than obummer

Alvin did 13 years in the Army, and Air Force. He claims he received an honorable discharge.
Alvin served the nation, Comrade Obama on the other hand is busy servicing the nation.

It’s simple. As a Democrat all he has to do is vote with the party. That;s all Democrats do anyway and it isnt that tough to say Aye or Nay when the democrat sitting next to you tells you to.

I do feel sorry for him. I don’t think he is a plant but it’s painfully obvious he doesn’t have a clue. I suspect he entered the race thinking, “That’s what I want to do’, like picking a vocation. He then thought better of it and hoped everyone would ignore his embarrassing waste of $10k. Well they didn’t. Hopefully he’ll drop out.

I so want him to be able to stay in the race. I do not think it is very nice of the dems to not take him seriously obiviously they wanted the white guy to win. I do hope that the debates are posted online because they should be fun!

Wasn’t this election considered a slam dunk for Demint anyway?

Scary part of this is the fact that Carolina has a hugh black voting populace — we all know they will “vote for the black guy”, As such, if DeMint wins, it will be close.

I love DeMint. But if lived in North Carolina, I’d be sorely pressed not to send this gentleman to the Senate. The Senate is full of worthless idiots, they just don’t know it. At least this guy served his country.

I hate to say...it could happen.

Not in South Carolina. DeMint would have to do something incredibly bad to get less than 55%. Against Green he should get 65-70%. (Everyone except the straight-party voting democrats.)

Ahhh make that South Carolina!

Greene would be 10 times better than Graham.

Since he doesn’t know who he is running against, maybe we could run him against Graham?

“And I have a bad feeling this will not turn out well for republicans.”

I think this reflects poorly on Democratic voters in SC. They can’t even run their own primary but they want to run the greatest beuracracy in the world...lol. It might be worth the PR hit to watch the circus and eat some popcorn.

I personally believe we are screwed economicaly regardless, so this is kind of poor man’s theatre. Sad. Dark. But comedic.

I dunno. Based on what we’ve seen with the absolutely disgusting Haley accusations, I don’t trust much of anyone in SC politics right now- esp. ‘republicans’.
