Hey, that's almost 2.4% which is pretty good for the primaries! For the general they're hoping to crack 5%

From what I've read, he has no idea himself.
Too bad his opponent, who is a total bag of hammers (DeMint), is assured re-election anyway. Baby Jesus couldn't win that one for blue. But the campaign ought to produce at least one wince-worthy Jesse Helms Memorial Sub-textual Race Baiting Moment.
I love the south.
How did Alvin Greene get nominated in South Carolina

That's why I don't understand the insinuation that some are tossing around that this Greene character is somehow a GOP plant. DeMint was winning any way you slice it, no matter who the Democratic candidate was. What possible incentive would they have to do that?

No point trying to figure out Palmetto State politics. Just get a ticket and watch the show.

The South Carolina republicans did make it a point to look like absolute backwards morons. The way they've treated Haley and the way they're talking about not supporting her because she isn't one of "them" is absolutely disgusting.

Oh sure. That seemed like it was more of the good ol' boys being sore losers though than any racism from the Tea Party, who were among the first to back Haley.
In other SC news, Rep. Bob Inglis has gotten trounced in his primary runoff. Was rated as pretty conservative, but told his constituents to turn off their Glenn Beck program (among other things) , and that just could not stand.

To most people the Republicans are the same evil creatures that slithered about the earth during the '60s, '70s, and '80s. That's why they have them all pegged, reflexively, as racists. Sure, there's some morons out there that go to these protests... but you don't see the anarchists and the Maoists featured during the anti-war rallies despite their presence. Most people don't quite realize its 2010 when you can actually have legitimate grievances with your government on the conservative/libertarian side.

QFT. The Tea Party might be dominated by "the usual suspects," rural white southerners, and it's a pepper pot of resentments, some fairly rational, some paranoid fantasy, but anti-black racism is their fathers' disease, not theirs.
When you talk to TPers around here you don't get dark hints about the mixing of the races, you get black helicopter boogeyman fables of the ATF coming for their guns.

America, what a country!
Meanwhile, the only thing between the Republicans and sweeping gains in November is... themselves?

Some people go to the movies for entertainment, some listen to music, others like to point out how inept the Democrats are.

Re: Death to the Incumbent!! Your guide to the 2010 primaries
You forgot to tell the rest of the story. i.e. That the Reps wanted to pay for the cost of extending unemployment benefits with unspent money from last year's stimulus program. The Dems didn't like that idea because it would mean cutting out too much pork. So we have the Dems trying to make the Reps out to be meanies because the benefits extension hasn't been passed, when in reality the Reps are willing to go along with it as long as it is payed for up front (and even suggested a way of paying for it).

The Reps have NEVER passed something that wasn't paid for. Good for them for standing up for their values.
Now that the dripping sarcasm is over. This is politics plain and simple. Both parties are both voting the party lines. It has nothing to do with saving or spending money. It has everything to do with who pays for their votes.

Re: Death to the Incumbent!! Your guide to the 2010 primaries
Sure there's politics going on. But the Reps offered up a very reasonable compromise to get the extension passed and the Dems balked.

And there's never been a piece of legislation that the Reps wanted to pass that the Dems offered a compromise on and they balked?
I can't wait till the Reps control everything again. Then it will be the good old days just like 2001-2008.............oh wait.........
