Clyburn says S.C. Dem Senate candidate is a 'plant,' calls for probe

The man nominated as Democrats' candidate for Senate in South Carolina might have been a "plant," a high-ranking Democrat suggested Thursday.

House Majority Whip James Clyburn (D-S.C.) called on the U.S. Attorney's office in South Carolina to investigate the circumstances that led to Alvin Greene winning the Democratic primary for Senate in the state earlier this week.

1. What started out as a kind of interesting story turned yesterday into
kind of a holy mess.

I trust Clyburn's instincts.

A probe into Greene's circumstances might be a real good idea.

2. Once again the Democratic leadership has done a lousy job...
...they could have figured this out before the election.

Does NC have an open primary? That's the only way I can see a "plant" getting 80% (I think it was 80%) of the vote.
