Former South Carolina judge and ex-state legislator Vic Rawl has officially conceded the Democratic primary for Senate, after he had attempted to contest his upset loss to unemployed veteran Alvin Greene.
Rawl had originally insisted that there were irregularities or errors in vote-counting in his loss to Greene. A more common explanation has been that both candidates were unknown, and Greene's 60% victory owed something to his name having been listed in the first position on the ballot. And last night, the state Democratic Party upheld Greene's win, despite the embarrassment and scandals surrounding his arrest last fall on an obscenity charge.
In his statement, Rawl thanks his supporters, and announced that he will not further contest the result: "We hold our heads high, and know that the friendship of people like you is far more important in life that the outcome of any election."

OWG (Old White Guy) surrenders! What will massa Democarat do now?

2 idiots in a moron contest.
Now that would be a tough choice.
Way to dance around one of the primary reasons why this happened, TPM. Not surprising, considering it’s a liberal opinion site.

Must be related to Al Gore. Doesn’t understand when elections are over.
We need to find a candidate named Michael Jackson
“Your Good Thing Is About to End”
LOL
BUT, Rawl, are you pledging to campaign hard for Greene? Do you pledge your supporters to vote Greene now? Inquiring minds want to know!
Greene is black in a state where a majority of Democrat voters are black....65%
LOL...is it rocket science why Greene won?
That was big of him, having lost by only 18% and all.
Anyway, like I was sayin', shrimp is the fruit of the sea. You can barbecue it, boil it, broil it, bake it, saute it. Dey's uh, shrimp-kabobs, shrimp creole, shrimp gumbo. Pan fried, deep fried, stir-fried. There's pineapple shrimp, lemon shrimp, coconut shrimp, pepper shrimp, shrimp soup, shrimp stew, shrimp salad, shrimp and potatoes, shrimp burger, shrimp sandwich. That- that's about it.
Exactly!
green this and green that, green shoots, green green green green... that's all people hear, so they voted GREENE, no mystery
that and the first name on the ballot thingy, dumb azzes...
LOL...is it rocket science why Greene won?
Yes, it is. Lots of people have made the same comment on FR, but none have given a definitive explanation of how voters knew Greene was black when he had no ads and gave no interviews.
The Republicans have countered with Johnny Mathis and Nat King Cole.
Well Johnny Mathis certainly would be a candidate that Lindsey Graham could get behind.
