Hope this is not a double post........ Reason some people call it a set-up is, he somehow beat the other democratic candidate in the primary's. The democratic party leaders in the state have asked Greene to step down, and he will not. Soooooooo us citizens are stuck like chuck with DeMint 6 more years. South Carolina's GOOD OLE BOY SYSTEM at work. Alive & Well, as always................................................................

Iused to live in Columbia so am aware of state politics, etc. That this man would dare to go against the main line and do well... I don't think it was a set-up, I think that it was the people saying that they are few up with the status quo.

How long are we going to let both republicans and democrats get so embedded in Washington that they are just playing games with the rest of us. It shouldn't be a career for these baffoons. Please, let's limit their terms and power!....and as far as this article, this guy's in way over his head and should drop out of the campaign and let a more experienced person run on the ticket.

He was 'indicted' not convicted, not sentenced, not arrested, not jailed! Hell, Jimmy Hoffa was indicted a hundred times and still came up smelling like a rose. (well now he pushes up roses). Bill Clinton was charged with... (I really cannot remember ALL the things he was charged with) The bottom line here folks, we should assume he is innocent until proven guilty! I believe that is the way it is supposed to work here in America. If the worse thing this man does is look at and pass around nude pictures... He could become the most honest man in DC!

August 25 2010 at 11:28 PM Report abuse Permalink +5 rate up rate down ReplyThis is another attempt by the SC contentious republicans to elect a sure loser in the dem primary, ala Obama over Clinton, which backfired on them badly. This attempt will work because it's so rediculous, SC is making a mockery of the election process!

You mean like all those black voters that are carted to the polls by Dem operatives and told how to vote and where to make the marks on the ballots>? You mean that kind of a mockery?!?
August 26 2010 at 12:24 AM Report abuse Permalink +18 rate up rate down ReplyNo matter how bad you trash him and make fun of him , he is no different then the rest of the dogs in washington.Remmember the republican senator that voted no on every bill that came before him pertaining to gay rights, then gets busted for trying to give a Bj in an airport bathroom. And the things Ted Kennedy got away with are a crime. Yes it's nice to be an independent and tell it like it is.I hope he does get elected i think he would not have voted to hold up unemployment checks for out of work americans while at the same time trying to keep the tax breaks for the rich like the republicans did. He may be goofy but would have done the right thing. and yes i blame both the dems and rep. for the bad shape our great country is in. Everyne should register independent and make them answer to the people

He is in way over his head and one has to think that it will be hard for him to hold his head up in the future. That is not to say that I condone his alleged behavior, I do not. I just see him as a guy who has bitten off more than he can chew in a lifetime.
August 25 2010 at 11:01 PM Report abuse Permalink +8 rate up rate down ReplyI'm not a fan of Alvin Greene, but I do wonder about the charges against him. Unless the college student was under the age of 18, which is uncommonly young for a college student, how could showing porn to such a person be a felony?
August 25 2010 at 10:44 PM Report abuse Permalink +11 rate up rate down ReplyShowing hardcore pornography to someone who doesn't wish to see it is a crime. Why should a woman, regardless of her age, be subjected to sexual harassment and obscene images that against her wishes? Not cool, if true.
August 25 2010 at 10:57 PM Report abuse Permalink +11 rate up rate down ReplyAs a fellow Veteran I wish him luck. However, this does not bode well for him. If I lived in SC I would not vote for him based on the issue and the party he represents. Really this is status quo for that Party. His problem is his name is not Kennedy.
August 25 2010 at 10:30 PM Report abuse Permalink +9 rate up rate down ReplyYou are correct, if he ws a Kennnedy the state would be cheering for him. Graf.
