An unknown, unemployed man named Alvin Greene won the Democratic primary in South Carolina Tuesday with over 60% of the vote ... and Democrats are not happy.
Fox News reported:
The surprise South Carolina Democratic nominee for U.S. Senate has turned down a request from the state party boss to step down.
Alvin Greene, a relative unknown, shocked Democrats in the Palmetto State on Tuesday night by winning the chance to face Sen. Jim DeMint, a Republican, this fall with a commanding victory over state lawmaker Vick Rawl in the Democratic primary.
South Carolina Democratic Party Chair Carol Fowler on Wednesday asked Greene to withdraw from the race for U.S. Senate because of recently revealed court records which show the 32-year-old unemployed veteran was arrested last November in Columbia, S.C., for allegedly showing obscene photos to a college student.
However, Greene told Fox News he has no intention of ending his campaign.
That brought to mind this from the
New York Times:
"President Obama’s chief of staff used former President Bill Clinton as an intermediary to see if Representative Joe Sestak would drop out of Pennsylvania’s Democratic Senate primary if given a prominent, but unpaid, advisory position, the White House said on Friday."
Perhaps the White House could offer a job to Green if he dropped out....
