PubliuSC — June 10, 2010 — I had the opportunity to interview Mr. Alvin Greene, the newly chosen Democratic nominee for United States Senate from South Carolina.
Mr. Greene did not seem to have an adequate grasp of current affairs. In fact, he did not seem to have a grasp at all. He provided me with vague answers when he responded with something that was not the rehearsed spiel about his time in the military and how long he's been thinking of running which he gave more often than not.
When I asked him how he managed to raise $10,400 in between the time he filed as an indigent and qualified for a public defender in November/December when charged with a felony and the time he filed as a Democratic contender, he began to avoid the question and eventually hung up. He claims to have thought about running for two years, yet he didn't have the $10,400 filing fee when he qualified as an indigent. Though he thought about it for two years, he didn't have the money in November/December. This, along with the fact that more votes were cast for Greene as a candidate than were cast in the Senate primary, throws more than just a little suspicion on his integrity as a candidate. I have no doubt. I believe that he is a plant.
