By not in system - AOL News

(June 22) -- The campaign for the Republican nomination for governor in South Carolina was marked by drama, but it ended decisively with a result that surprised few: On Tuesday, state Rep. Nikki Haley, who finished a primary two weeks ago just shy of the 50 percent needed to avoid a runoff, trounced her opponent, U.S. Rep. Gresham Barrett. ...

Many Questions, Few Answers From Alvin Greene

By Steve Pendlebury - AOL News

(June 14) -- With every interview he does, the mystery of would-be U.S. senator Alvin Greene gets deeper and stranger. A week ago, virtually nobody had heard of the unemployed veteran with no political experience, no money and no campaign organization. Now he's generating as much buzz as those blasted vuvuzela horns at the World Cup matches. Ever since his shocking victory over former state lawmaker Vic Rawl in Tuesday's South Carolina Democratic primary, reporter after reporter has tried -- with little success -- to pry information out of Greene. To say Greene is a man of few words is a ...

Alvin Greene Refuses to Drop Out in S.C.: The 'People Have Spoken'

Alvin Greene, the improbable winner of the South Carolina Democratic primary for U.S. Senate, has said he won't withdraw from the general election even though he's facing a felony charge. Sex scandals now seem obligatory for South Carolina politicians, of course, though what Greene is alleged to have done (show obscene photos to a University of South Carolina student, then ask that they repair to her dorm room) is apparently beyond the pale, even by South Carolina standards. What's interesting is that the calls to quit the race against Republican Sen. Jim DeMint are coming from the state ...

Rep. James Clyburn Wants Probe of Alvin Greene's Election in S.C. Primary

By David Wood - Politics Daily

House Majority Whip James Clyburn (D-S.C.) wants an investigation into the shocking upset election of Alvin Greene in the South Carolina primary Tuesday. The jobless veteran with no political experience took 59 percent of the vote to become the Democratic nominee for U.S. Senate despite putting virtually no money into his campaign and making few, if any, appearances. "There were some real shenanigans going on in the South Carolina primary," Clyburn said on the Bill Press radio show, according to The Hill. "I don't know if [Greene] was a Republican plant; he was someone's plant." Clyburn is ...

Edwards Surging in SC; Hillary Returns

By Tommy Christopher - Politics Daily

John Edwards continues to grow his support in South Carolina on the heels of Monday's debate, placing Hillary Clinton in danger of a disastrous 3rd place finish in Saturday's Democratic Presidential Primary. Meanwhile, Clinton, who had seemed ready to concede the state to Barack Obama, leaving Bill Clinton to fight a rear-guard action while she concentrated on Super Tuesday states, has returned to South Carolina to try and ward off the Edwards threat. From Zogby:The real movement here is by John Edwards, who is the only one who continues to gain ground in our three-day tracking poll. His ...
