Vetting candidates
A day after an unemployed veteran charged with a felony shocked South Carolina's Democratic establishment by winning the U.S. Senate primary, party officials were still scratching their heads: What happened?
Alvin Greene, 32, didn't raise any money. He didn't have a website. And his opponent was a relatively better-known former legislator, Vic Rawl, who was already preparing for the general election. Greene was considered such a long shot that his opponent and media didn't even bother to check his background. If they had, they would have discovered he faces a felony obscenity charge after an alleged encounter with a college student last fall. Well, boys and girls, it look like the ol' Democrat Party screwed up again, failing to properly vet a thug who ended up not only on the ballot, but winnning his race! Had they looked at his past, they would have realized that (1) he is an embarrassment to the party (unless they want to really back him, to their peril!) (2) he is unqualified to serve, and (3) if by some miracle, he does get elected, the US Senate has the authority not to seat him. Maybe the DNC shold have done a better job of vetting The Bastard, to really see where he was from, to really check his SS number, so that its issuance place matches with The Bastard's past history. (Oh, BTW, in case you missed it, The Bastard has a SS number issured to citizens of Connecticutt, a state The Bastard has never been a resident of.) And they might have examined his aleged time spent at Occidental College in Kauliphonia, to see why he qualified for a Fulbright Scholarship, which are given to foreign students. Or what passport The Bastard used to go to some countries when US citizens were prohibited from going there. Ah yes, the Democrat party - party of the people. Um hmmm.

"I check my e-mail, like, it varies, maybe -- I'm more, I mean -- two or three times a week," he says. "I prefer the telephone. I'm a little old-fashioned. I prefer the telephone. That's the easiest." Greene, a solidly built 32-year-old, sighs heavily as he speaks, pausing often during long, meandering monologues. He taps his hand against the table, alternating between staring at the floor and running a hand across his face. He sits on a folding metal chair at a picnic table set on the linoleum floor of his father's wood-paneled living room. Above him, a ceiling fan with a bare bulb stands motionless. His father -- who says he's a dialysis patient and is still recovering from open-heart surgery four years ago -- moans in pain and occasionally interrupts Greene to say he's veered off the subject. Greene's life story is as vague as his campaign. He says he was born in Florence, S.C., went to high school in Manning (a town of 4,000 near his father's home) and graduated from the University of South Carolina in political science. He says he served in the military -- first in the Air Force and then in the Army -- from his college graduation in 2000 until nine months ago. "I was honorably discharged from the Army, but it was involuntary," he says. "Things weren't working. Same thing happened in the Air Force. . . . It's a long story in both services." ... http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn...l?hpid=topnews

A Republican plant? Why would the GOP sink $10k into a campaign that absolutely nobody thought could be won by the nobody, when that money would be better invested in the general election? Once again, the tinfoil helmet crowd is running amok.
