Alvin Green, the man, the myth, the candidate...

The politics of my adopted state of South Carolina are nothing if not interesting. We have a sitting Governor that committed adultery with a woman from Argentina. Destroying any possibility of a run in national politics and causing national uproar. A very hot Gubernatorial candidate in Nikki Haley that has been accused, not once but twice of infidelity. Ironically, both men claiming to have had the trysts with Ms. Haley worked for her opponent in the GOP Primary, Andre Bauer. I guess dysfunctional would be a better description for our politics down here.

Now we have Alvin Green. Alvin, if you haven't heard, won the Democratic Senate race against the established former state rep and Judge, Vic Rawl, with a resounding 60% of the vote. The problem with Alvin, according to the Democratic establishment, is that he is not qualified. You see, Alvin is unemployed, homeless (he lives with his father) and seems to be a bit unstable. He didn't have a campaign website, or even campaign in his local area of Manning, SC! The biggest question is how Mr. Green paid the $10,400 required to get on the ballot? Some in the establishment are saying he was a Republican "plant".

I have a bigger question. Why did the democratic voters of this state even vote for the man? This is an embarrassment for the democrats of this state, and nationally. It shows that they aren't interested in policies of the state or nation. All they are concerned with is getting a liberal in office! Even if someone in the GOP paid for him to be on the ballot, the idiot liberal voters of this state voted for him! With 60% of the vote! Conspiracy theories aside, the local democratic party has no one to blame but themselves for this sideshow.

Again, I truly believe there should be a test to be able to vote in an election. This only proves my point!

I love living here in SC, the political theater is just a bonus...:)
