This man reminds me of Rep. Hank Johnson (D-GA), the Congressman who was worried that the island of Guam would "tip over and capsize" into the Pacific Ocean. :rolleyes2:

Olbermann is the left's answer to Limbaugh.

hmm.. democrats worried the negroes will rule over them, instead of them getting to be righteous and concerned rulers of the negroes.. for their own best..

So if those are plants, is the obamination one too? ;)

This isn't about Olberman or Obama, its about this guy, who can't even put a sentence together, who magically got elected without campaigning, an obscurity until now... and he got 60% of the vote??

I'm interested to know how this is possible.

Nothing strange at all, i do wonder how many americans have any idea who they are voting for. Especially as those politcans are oh so shielded from the public.

In the right areas, all it takes is dark skin.

To be able to vote for someone, surely you must at least know their name?

Alvin Michael Greene (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alvin_Greene#Questions_about_candidacy) graduated from Manning High School in 1995 and received a bachelor's degree in political science (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Political_science) from the University of South Carolina in 2000. He served as an intelligence specialist and a unit supply specialist in the U.S. Army and has served in the Air Force and Army national guards. He has received the Global War on Terrorism Service Medal, the Air Force Good Conduct Medal, the Korea Defense Service Medal, and the National Defense Service Medal.

Well yes, they are listed on the ballot. 'Jerry Rawls' sounds like a white guy, 'Alvin Greene' sounds like a black guy. The majority of Democratic party voters in 'deep south' states like South Carolina are black.

That's about right.

Those who doubt this just don't know American politics.



Anyway, there is no way any Democrat would win a South-Carolina Senate seat these days. Not since the collapse of Dixiecrat-ism. Many Dixiecrats remained Democrats, but slowly they died off. The last today being Robert Byrd.

note: Dixiecrats were a Southern Democrats who supported white-racialism.

This is one big LOL.

As for Olberman?

He won all of the African-American vote. They are a majority of Democrats in S.C. But whites are the majority of all S.C. voters so he will lose in the general election.

[The Ripper]

As I understand it, this guy also got (a majority of?) the white vote.

One can simply vote by party.

There's not really any way to tell afaik, since nobody did any polls since nobody paid any attention to this election before this guy won, as the Republican DeMint is very popular, and the state is very conservative. Alvin Green won just under 60% of the vote, and in the 2008 Democrat primary 55% of the voters were black. This election had a much smaller turnout though, so many whites who came out in 2008 to vote for Clinton or Edwards didn't show up this time around. Also, apparently this Rawls guy wasn't very popular, so it is possible that many whites who had heard of him just voted against him.

Not usually, that's the first I've heard of such a thing. Most states don't have that. Also, that would not work in a primary election.

As far as 'vote fraud' conspiracy theories go, in addition to all the other things wrong with them, a South Carolina Democratic Senate Primary is the last election anyone would bother to rig, since the Republican is almost guaranteed a victory.

In the last South Carolina Democratic Senate Primary (2008) the winner was a 'far-right' candidate who supported Ron Paul and was opposed to immigration, the Iraq War, the Patriot Act, free trade, gay marriage, etc (there was not a black candidate in that race)
