Put Alvin Greene into the Google, and that's what I found.

Dunno...

1. Didn't the SC Dems even know this guy was running?

3. And it cost him over 10,000 $ just to file.
I certainly would like to know why and how an unemployed man would do that.

9. I don't think it cost HIM anything, I'm so curious to find out who did pay. I don't
think this will take long to uncover, the media is all over it.

5. Republicans have definitely jumped the shark - that happened with Psycho Sarah...

The details about this will be very interesting - in some areas he got more votes than were cast!

7. Yep...
They have been grasping at straws since before the Palin fiasco.

This whole deal stinks... and I hope someone goes to Federal prison for a very long time.

6. I know this is awful, but I love it.
I hope he wins, too. He'll be much more entertaining than 99 of the rest of the body.

15. They need to get to the point it takes to subpoena his bank records.
On Countdown there was also an opponent for Clyburn that was heavily involved in Republican politics and his campaign also had a Republican consultant company.

16. What I don't get is why people are so upset about this 10K
when so many incumbents are getting much more than that from onlygawdknowswhatlobby to be re-elected.

Is it that he didn't get the right kind of dirty money?

19. Ask The Next Unemployed Person You Meet...
If...

A) They want to run for the Senate... and

B) If they have $10,000 plus to start that adventure.

And make very sure they can explain "B" in no uncertain terms.

20. After the new ruling about corporate contributions
does it even matter any more?

I know this is some screwed up Republican thing but, seriously, it's not that far out of the norm.

21. He is claiming that it is his money.
Federal finance laws also require candidates to account for all expenses. Even if they made a contribution to their own campaign.

17. yep
And they need to check the voting machines.

But they won't... none of the elected officials will question the machines... unless there is one brave one still around.

24. This is a metaphor for the entire US political system.
This is qualitatively no different from the bush boy "winning."
