Alvin Greene?

Rachel Maddow had a clip of this ridiculous interview Keith Olbermann did with Alvin Greene. Mr. Greene won the SC Democratic Primary for the US Senate seat held by Republican Jim DeMint.



I guess DeMint will keep his seat in November but then again I'd never guess this guy would win with 60% of the vote. His wikipedia page seems to have more background on him and his campaign.

The Washington Post reports S.C. lawmaker calls for investigations of Democratic primary, 2 other races. "House Majority Whip James E. Clyburn (D-S.C.) called for federal and state investigations into alleged campaign irregularities in South Carolina after an unemployed Army veteran who lives with his parents won a Democratic primary for the U.S. Senate there. Alvin M. Greene, who has an outstanding felony obscenity charge pending, "was someone's plant," Clyburn said Thursday"

He'll make a fine senator. Can't do any worse, than any of the rest of them, that's for sure.

I'm curious how may people actually voted, both for him and in total.
