Default Dem Primary Winner in South Carolina

An excellent candiate has won the Democratic primary in South Carolina for the US Senate. The big positive about this guy is that he is political outsider. He spent virtually no money on his campaign. He's just a regualr guy. It's great that the bright Democrats of South Carolina had the good sense to nominate a regular guy. This guy doesn't seem to have any negative qualities.

I guess I could come up with a few negative things about this candidate if I was going to nit-pick. He is unemployed and he lives with his parents. In addition, "a criminal complaint was sworn out against him last year for allegedly showing obscene photos to a South Carolina college student and suggesting they go to her dorm room."

Aside from that, he looks like a great candidate.

dem's getting owned in the south is no headline but it's still hilarious the voter's in this primary sleepwalked a repulican prank into their nominee.

credit where it's due. well done.

What was the vote count? 7-4?

Because South Carolina is dominated by Republicans, you see.

and 340,000 for jim demint.

face it. outside of being black, alvin greene would beat vic rawl again if he had an (r) after his name on the ballot in s carolina.

that takes nothing away from the hilarity of what they managed to pull off here but it's not like there was any chance demint was losing regardless of the nominee.

Why did Democrats vote for Alvin Green over Vic Rawl? I don't get it. I'm sure you are right that neither one of them will beat DeMint in November. But regardless, why would Democrats vote for an unemployed guy that lives at home that has felony charges pending against him?
