Alvin Greene

ChattahBox)—Well, this strange tale out of the dreck that is South Carolina politics, is getting curiouser and curiouser. Alvin Greene, the unemployed Army vet who won the Democratic senatorial primary, with no fundraising, no campaign website and zero campaign appearances, is facing an Internet porn felony charge. And the state Party chairwoman has demanded that Greene withdraw from the race.
Since, his surprising victory over establishment Democratic candidate Vic Rawl, attributed to alphabet voting by constituents unfamiliar with either candidate, the AP reported that Greene was arrested in November for displaying porn over the Internet. “Court records show 32-year-old Alvin Greene was arrested in November and charged with showing obscene Internet photos to a University of South Carolina student.”
As reported by The Hill, Carol Fowler, chairwoman of the South Carolina Democratic Party asked Greene to step down:
“Today I spoke with Alvin Greene, the presumptive Democratic nominee for the U.S. Senate, and asked him to withdraw from the race,” Carol Fowler, chairwoman of the South Carolina Democratic Party, said in a statement. [...]
Fowler said she didn’t take her decision “lightly.” “I believe strongly that the Democratic voters of this state have the right to select our nominee,” she said. “But this new information about Mr. Greene has would certainly have affected the decisions of many of those voters.”
And so, this may be the end of Greene’s odd campaign, that has been questioned as a GOP generated place-marker stunt.
