Just when you thought South Carolina politics couldn't get any sleazier, Democratic leaders begged their surprise Senate nominee to quit yesterday upon learning he's facing charges of flashing porn at a coed.
Alvin Greene, 32 and unemployed, shocked the Palmetto State's political establishment Tuesday night when he came out of nowhere - he didn't even have campaign signs - to beat well-funded fellow Democrat Vic Rawl, an ex-judge.
But Greene's win - credited to the race's low interest and his higher position on the alphabetized ballot - apparently wasn't the only shocker the Army vet had in store.

S.C. Dems split over surprise Senate nominee Alvin Greene, accused of flashing porn at a co-ed
I keep trying to think of something clever to say. . .but word almost fail me.
[C]"redited to the race's low interest and
his higher position on the alphabetized ballot".
I am curious though, since the candidate is black, will Janeane Garofalo tell us that calls for him to withdraw are the results of racism, "straight up?"
Didn't think so.
