Democrat Senate nominee Alvin Greene puts out feelers for possible presidential run
Never a dull moment in SC politics:
Alvin Greene might run for president.
Greene, the unlikely Democratic Senate nominee in South Carolina who lost overwhelmingly to Republican Sen. Jim DeMint last week, called the state Democratic Party on Tuesday to ask how much it would cost to run for president.
“Maybe. I’ll have to see,” Greene told POLITICO when asked whether he was considering filing to run for president. He confirmed that he called the state party Tuesday to ask about the fee. The state party’s spokeswoman, Keiana Page, confirmed that someone called the party Tuesday asking about the presidential filing fee but said that the caller did not identify himself.
In 2008, South Carolina’s presidential filing fee for candidates was $2,500. Page said the state has yet to set its fee for the upcoming 2012 contest.
That explains why Greene wasn’t sure how much it would set him back to run: He asked POLITICO about how much the fee would be.
Heh.
Sad thing is, considering the state of mind of South Carolina Democrats these days, I wouldn’t be surprised – if he ran – that they voted for him again.
Think I’m kidding? Close to 365,000 people in SC (presumably 99% of that vote was from Democrats) voted for him in the general election last week. That’s more votes than Senate Majority Harry Reid got in Nevada.
Crazy.

Sister, have you been to the lower part of the state? From Columbia down to the coastal regions, there is a large black population, many residing in government housing and perpetuating the welfare entitlement lifestyle–which explains how our es-teemed representative James Clyburn keeps going back in. I would wager that of those who voted, they did so for Greene (and, of course, Obama). Add to that the ignorant ‘My Daddy voted Democrat all his life’ stupid whites, largely old, who walk in and pull the straight Democrative ticket (I would have been interested to know whether my late aunt and uncle, both ‘educators’ in SC who were staunch Dem’s would have voted for Greene just to prove a point). Believe me, if you live here, it’s not that difficult to understand.
Democrats love identity politics. The person Democrats need as their Presidential candidate in 2012 is a single mother with a half-dozen children (all of unknown fathers) and a dozen abortions who is also a wheelchair-bound Buddhist lesbian illegal alien tax cheat. That should cover all remaining “victim” groups.
To that end M. D… I nominate Octo mom! I am sure she would run for office for the right price.
It’s sort of sad when you understand that so many voters still refuse to vote on anything other than their meal ticket or their party affiliation. I hope that the Tea Party organizations in each state stay on the job and educate their fellow citizens now that they have been given a sideways glance by the media that they might have made a difference in election outcomes.
Whats amazing is he won 28% of the vote. Coincidently South Carolina is 28% African American. I think an EGGPLANT could run for office there and get 28% of the vote.
“So, what do you have for us, Alvin?”
“Jim DeMint started the recession. Jim DeMint started the recession. Jim DeMint started the recession…”
“Okay, Alvin, that’s fine.”
“Jim DeMint started the recession. Jim DeMint started the recession. Jim DeMint started the recession…”
“That’s enough, Alvin…”
“Jim DeMint started the recession. Jim DeMint started the recession. Jim DeMint started the recession…”
“Alvin…”
“Jim DeMint started the recession. Jim DeMint started the recession. Jim DeMint started the recession…”
“ALVIIIIIIIINNNNNNN!!!!!!!!”
And with that, Steve, if one didn’t vote for him, one is obviously a raaaaciiiist because he knows so well what’s going on…
