Alvin Greene on KO

[HughMoran]

He's not seeming altogether with it - weird.

[Catshrink]

1. He's a real live wire.

Keith has to drag it out of him.

[blueredneck]

13. Oh my.

This guy cannot be for real.

[Rosco T.]

2. Bet he cuts and runs from the interview... n/m

[gateley]

3. Let us know if there are any revelations. I'm guessing, though, the story won't

all be told for a while yet.

[hvn_nbr_2]

58. He revealed that he isn't very smart. nt

[gateley]

59. Ha! Yeah - I caught the last minute or so. How many votes did this guy get? nt

[HughMoran]

61. 100,000 votes!

Alvin Greene 99,970 58%
Vic Rawl 69,572 41%

[gateley]

62. I should have gone looking before I asked - or just should have waiting for your

response! This is just so odd!

[NotThisTime]

65. I seriously thought he would cry... is his IQ even 80? I am not disparaging, I really mean he's not

all there... I'm sorry to say it.

[nadinbrzezinski]

4. At least he wore a suit

DeMint got it... he is getting reelected. This guy is not exactly what I would call material...

[WeDidIt]

5. This is worse than a slow motion train wreck. n/t

[Laf.La.Dem.]

6. he sounds very fishy

:shrug:

[deminks]

Something is not quite right here.

KO talking about being a plant. Bingo, bingo, bingo.

[JuniperLea]

7. Now, why would someone unrec this?

Cretins are on my last fucking nerve.

The youtube I watched earlier was totally sketch... he looked like he was making it up as he went along. He's a plant... wonder how much $$ he got...

[HughMoran]

21. Those are my fans

They see my thread, say to themselves "oh, that ass hole" & unrec my thread without reading it.

:rofl:

[JuniperLea]

22. Smooth... congrats!

You is a star!


:rofl:

[nadinbrzezinski]

28. You too?

:hugs:

[HughMoran]

32. The system has it's flaws

:rofl:

You know it's personal when you post the most innocuous post ever (like this one) and someone feels compelled to unrec it :hi:

[demmiblue]

44. Perhaps some feel that it is not worthy of the greatest page.

It is only one sentence long.

:shrug:

[JuniperLea]

76. Size doesn't matter... eom

[HughMoran]

51. Only 4 unrecs

:shrug: One from ignored just above - lol

Edit: 4 now - I upset a first grader who read the thread so they unrecced it. I'm hurt. :rofl:

[malaise]

Hubby says this is a 100% drugged plant

This is unfuckingbelievable but it's fall down funny.
This unemployed man has money.

[O is 44]

31. Ha, my thoughts exactly, he did look as if he was on....

something. weird

[Catshrink]

8. It's like he's reciting some lines someone handed him.

Was that someone whispering off camera to him? I'm listening on XM because I ditched cable.

[Ruby the Liberal]

26. KO said after the commercial break that his attorney was just off camera and coaching him

My guess is the attorney is on retainer by DeMint.

[JerseygirlCT]

70. That's exactly what I think

And is having a hard time remembering his lines.

[Siwsan]

9. I wonder if he's being remote "prompted" via an ear bug

And that's why his answers are so disjointed. There is so much off kilter about this guy's answers and behavior. It's hinkey as hell.

[malaise]

15. I think you're right n/t

[KathieG]

18. I thought I heard someone else's voice after Keith at one point.

[dorkulon]

25. Keith confirmed after the break that his lawyer was feeding him answers.

This is really odd.

[O is 44]

40. Oh my, I thought I heard someone, this is unreal. n/t

[name not needed]

73. I just watched it, and I could see him fiddling with his ear piece.

[gateley]

10. Can somebody explain HOW he became the nominee? Were there no other candidates? Thanks. nt

[WeDidIt]

11. That guy is going to prison over this

But the threat of prison will force him to reveal it all.

He is going to sing like a fucking canary when they arrest his ass.

[bdamomma]

12. boy he is weird

[WeDidIt]

14. boy is he wired

FIFY

[bdamomma]

20. yea that too. I bet Keith thought the same thing.

[KathieG]

16. Something is really fishy here.

[Rosco T.]

17. Give him a week ...

.. before he withdraws or is throw off.

INTERNET! On your mark, get set, DIG!

[kjackson227]

19. WHAT IN THE HELL WAS THAT?!?!?

This was quite PAINFUL to say the least.:cry:

Edit: I don't think he's playing with a full deck

[Patsy Stone]

36. That's the $64,000 question.

Wow.

[lib2DaBone]

55. Sarah Palin set the threshold... Alvin Green is the result...

[rzemanfl]

23. Did not catch it from the start. How much was the filing fee? n/t

[WeDidIt]

29. $10,400, and an unemployed veteran who had to have a public defender claims it was all his money.

There is criminal fraud involved here.

[rzemanfl]

33. Thank you. n/t

[HughMoran]

34. I don't know about you, but I'm looking forward to seeing how this plays out

This is fascinating!

[WeDidIt]

38. I'm betting DeMint is the guy who ran the scam

It goes all the way to DeMint.

[HughMoran]

46. that would be too good to be true

...but I'll take it :)

[O is 44]

43. Keith should have followed up with

how could he afford it being unemployed and all. wow

[Berry Cool]

45. It wouldn't have mattered.

He just would've stayed silent for ten seconds and then replied "No comment."

[Rage for Order]

47. The criminal issue aside...

I find it appalling that it costs $10,400 just to register to run for office! The filing fee should not be more than $10. As it is now, it is the equivalent of a poll tax.

[me b zola]

30. $10,000.

He said he never had fundraisers or contributions. He said he had a few "informal rallies". His advertising consisted of literature.

[rzemanfl]

35. Thanks. n/t

[deminks]

24. Keith at the end just said the guy's atty was standing just off camera

and SC has an open primary, Thugs can vote for Dems. There you go.

[HughMoran]

27. Does Arkansas have an open primary?

:shrug:

[deminks]

37. Found it

Arkansas: Open, but when runoff elections are used, voters must vote in same party's runoff election as they voted for in the first round election.

http://archive.fairvote.org/?page=1801

[HughMoran]

39. Does anybody else think that Republicans voted for Blanche?

I do.

[deminks]

41. me too. nt

[glinda]

54. Yes indeed as well as hanky pankie with the limited voting places.

[newspeak]

52. so, did California vote for open primaries?

Can you imagine having the other party vote for a stooge that was set up by the opposing party? What a nightmare!

[backscatter712]

42. O_o

I'm calling shenanigans on this. Clearly, some Karl Rove wannabee (or maybe Karl Rove himself) is engineering this to embarass the Democrats.

I feel bad for Alvin - he's clearly being used, and he's not bright enough to understand that.

[glinda]

56. I agree with you. Someone used him.

[TheKentuckian]

48. That guy wasn't just weird...he was a supernova that slowly exploded over many years

South Carolina is fuckin kRaZy town USA. Still, I'd take him over DeMint in the beat of a heart and celebrate taking my chances for at least a month.

[HughMoran]

49. Rachel replaying part of interview

OMG it's painful!

[meow mix]

50. love the "yes" "no" answers

wth

[ladjf]

53. This situation is uniquely strange. I have no doubt that the

source of the filing fee money will be brought out. As for Mr. Green, he has my sympathy as I don't
think he is aware of his true situation. The big question for me is why has this been done?

[HughMoran]

57. If somebody offers him more money, I bet he'll rat out his previous bribers

This could get verrrrrry interesting!

[ladjf]

60. Could it possibly be someone's idea of a joke? nt

[AngryOldDem]

63. He's going to star in the remake of "Being There."

Gawd...and then to find out he had his lawyer just off screen feeding him answers.

Just a train wreck. Clyburn's right -- something just ain't adding up with this guy.

[gateley]

64. Okay, he has a Public Defender for his Fed charge, but I'm guessing the

attorney "off camera" isn't a PD. Who's footing the bill for him/her? Hmmmmm?

[HughMoran]

66. Right now there's a lot more questions than answers

I can't wait to figure out what's going on...

[gateley]

68. I know! This is just too interesting! nt

[HughMoran]

67. Rerun coming up in a minute!

:)

[JerseygirlCT]

69. This is embarrassing.

He hasn't a clue. Can't even remember the lines he was told to memorize.

[HughMoran]

75. Hugh-miliating

What a moran.

:D

[msanthrope]

71. John N. Doggettt returns. Black Repuke plant. n/t

[601Liberal]

72. This is a senatorial candidate?

This is embarrassing.

[BlueIdaho]

74. The definition of an empty suit.

This whole thing is very much Lee Atwater boogie man bullshit.

[flamingdem]

77. Where are the reporters investigating him? He claims he campaigned all over, so verify! nt
