Who is Alvin Greene's attorney?

I think he can answer some of these questions that we all have about Alvin Greene.

For the record I blame the SC State Dem Comm for allowing the primary to be open to registered Republicans. Stupid is as stupid does..

to change--not up to any given party to decide. California just passed a ballot initiative to allow a form of open primary, so things may get really nasty there as well.

I'm curious but is this considered fraud if it turns out he is a plant? Can he be charged for misleading the public/tax payers? WOuld he name names? I'm curious as to what the plan is. I mean, obviously,not to win. What was he promised? Who put him up to it? Oh, and who will play him in the movie? I think Tracy Morgan would be perfect!

case.

I heard it said that he first showed up with cash which they refused, and came back with a cashier's check and they had to take it.

If you allow the other party to vote in your primary, you will end up with the weaker candidate.
Seems obvious to me -

their OWN primary... In fact that is a big reason why cross-over is likely NOT the explanation for what happened here because the RETHUGS had a stake in the hotly contested RETHUG Governor's primary.

But, on occasion, it does open up to manipulation...

If I could I would vote in the GOP primary - there is this wack job running from Buffalo that I would love to see run vs. Cuomo.
Cuomo will beat whoever the GOP runs, but still..

I forgot about the SC Gov primary..

Republicans cross over to vote for Democrats, and Democrats cross over to vote for Republicans. An open primary also allows independents to be, independent.

Robert "Fighting Bob" La Follette pushed hard for an open primary system to wrest control of politics from the party bosses. In 1905, according to the Milwaukee Journal, the Wisconsin Legislature passed "the nation's first law providing for direct election of all delegates to national party conventions."

"Of all fifty states of the union," Theodore White writes in his classic "The Making of the President 1960," "Wisconsin is probably that state in which professional politicians most hate to tempt a primary. It was Wisconsin, as a matter of fact, that in 1903 first invented the presidential primary, which so many other states have since copied. And the political philosophy that inspired that revolutionary invention has made and left Wisconsin in political terms an unorganized state, a totally unpredictable state, a state whose primaries have over many quadrennials proved the graveyard of great men's presidential ambitions."
