...... OK ,,, Alvin Greene might be a p!$$ poor excuse for a political candidate but what’s that say about his opponent who he beat by well over 56% ?
I don’t think that was the case, since voters had no freaking clue that Alvin Greene was black. He almost certainly beat the other unknown candidate because his name sounded more “normal” to South Carolina Democrats. I would wager that when most SC Democrat primary voters saw the name “Alvin Greene,” the white voters pictured a white guy while the black voters pictured a black guy.
The Dems, as usual, trying to keep the black man down. Dems are the most racist people I’ve ever seen. They live and breathe racism.
Just heard a new one from a lib this week...
abortion, especially of black and latino babies,
is just like the execution of criminals,
a public service.
Racist, elitist, and downright evil.
A case study for sure.
“I don’t think that was the case, since voters had no freaking clue that Alvin Greene was black.”
Why does everyone treat black folk like they’re stupid and know nothing?
The black Democrat voters no doubt knew all about Al because they voted for him!
Just because the majority of the press in that state knew nothing about him doesn’t mean the black population’s political grapevine wasn’t working overtime.
The same forces working within the Tea Party to effect changes in the Republican Party are no doubt, from this example, also in existence for independently-thinking black Democrat voters tired of being taken for granted by the party’s progressives.
Why be so surprised? It’s only logical.
He just seems as someone who is uncomfortable addressing large crowds.
Had Greene done particularly well in black-majority areas and particularly poorly in white-majority areas you would perhaps have a point. But he didn’t (heavily black Charleston County and Richland County were two of only five or so counties not to have voted for Greene).
No one is saying that black voters are ignorant; it’s just that no one, black or white, knew who the hell Alvin Greene was.
He just seems as someone who is uncomfortable addressing large crowds.
When people are nervous they don’t speak well. Of course he’s nervous. Wouldn’t you be if you were in his shoes? Speaking under the circumstances has nothing to do with intelligence.
I don’t know how they ballot in his state, but here in CA there is a job under the candidate’s name such as “educator” or “businessman”. Folks use that to decide in cases where they don’t know who to vote for. If Mr. Greene had “veteran” under his, and the demo-rat had “incumbent”, “lawyer” or “politician” that would explain the results.
However, the votes for him in whiter districts weren't overly disproportionate, so his name being first on the ballot, with neither candidate being that well known, may have won the day for him.

Margaret Sanger, founder of Planned Parenthood, believed exactly the same thing.
Oh no they were on Fox today saying he figured out how to manipulate the computer results! Simply amazing!
The problem with that explanation is that Rawl got only 54% in Charleston County.
I however can explain that easy. In Charleston County (which Obama carried in Nov ‘08) 70% of voters voted in the Republican primary. The county’s black population is around 33-34%
Now, not even when Charleston=South Carolina Republican Party did Republican candidates ever get a 40 point margin in the county save for maybe Nixon ‘72.
Simply put, white voters in Charleston voted Republican no matter their ideology or real party because the Democratic primary in that county is a black primary and in the state as a whole it’s a black primary too.
The SC GOP Primary has become the old pre 1960s Rooster primary except there is no systematic discrimination in it. 69% of South Carolinians cast a Republican ballot. Republicans only managed those margins statewide with Nixon and Campbell. Take out black South Carolinians who are around 30% of the total population and a little less of the statewide as a whole and you come up with a number saying that more than 85% of South Carolina whites cast a Republican primary ballot.
Look at the turnout maps by county. It is all driven by local elections. The only counties in which the Democrats have anything resembling turnout are black controlled counties and counties with a black population so high that whites vote in the Democratic primary lest blacks take control of the courthouse offices decided in it.
Look at the primary turnouts from this decade and then compare it to 2008 and you’ll see the differences. 2008 represented probably how the state really sees itself in partisan terms. The other primaries have heavy Republican tilts based on local elections/GOP primary’s defacto bringing back of the Rooster primary.
You might not like it but it is what it is. Rawls almost lost in Charleston. Rawls was not an unknown in Charleston. Blacks simply voted for the black candidate and that’s that and now Clyburn and them are all trying to run and hide because they know that given the history of the state and what not that this could further kill their party for another generation in the state, especially when they have somehow made inroads in areas like Charleston County.
Those racist democrats!
Alvin Greene an unemployed veteran who drew 60% of the vote in last week's South Carolina Democrat primary for United States Senate... Yesterday the OWG (old White guy) who lost 3 to 2 lodged a formal protest on the grounds that his "... experts who have analyzed the data say they've noticed irregularities in the vote totals." Apparently when an "unapproved" Black man beats an OWG there must have been "irregularities in the vote totals." The Democrat cheerleaders at AP reporting the protest were so blinded by their rage at the "uppity" Black man they called him "Greene" not Alvin Greene or Mister Greene, but just Greene -- his Democrat plantation name, one would suppose. In recent years, Black men guilty of daring to try to run without permission have been savaged in liberal Democrat New York as well. National and New York White Democrats purposely underfunded Carl McCall's run for governor and Harold Ford's attempt to primary a sitting White female Senator. Currently Kendall Meek a Black South Florida Congressman running for Senate has been kicked aside by White Democrats. They now support Charlie "OWG" Crist and are even paying his bills...
Except that in the whites counties no whites voted in the Democratic primary.
If you look up county by county results and match election turnout in each primary to racial demographics you’re going to find that what I said holds true for almost all the state except Richland County and a number of the rural low country counties with high black populations.
