Clyburn says S.C. Dem Senate candidate a 'plant'; calls for probe

[ccharles000]

The man nominated as Democrats' candidate for Senate in South Carolina might have been a "plant," a high-ranking Democrat suggested Thursday.

House Majority Whip James Clyburn (D-S.C.) called for South Carolina to investigate the circumstances that led to Alvin Greene winning the Democratic Senate primary in his state earlier this week.

"There were some real shenanigans going on in the South Carolina primary," Clyburn said during an appearance on the liberal Bill Press radio show. "I don't know if he was a Republican plant; he was someone's plant."

The third-ranking House Democrat said he found it strange that Greene, a relative unknown prior to Tuesday, was able to produce the money to register and run for Senate despite being unemployed.

3. You know, if we were more organized

we could do the same to them. But we're not. That's why we lose so many elections we should win.

4. I wouldn't want us to do that...dirty tricks is a Rethug thing.

Do we want to be just like them just for a "win"?

5. If it means getting someone better in there

Besides, maybe if WE start pulling these kinds of stunts, then there will be pressure to finally ban them!
