Do you miss Alvin Greene (D-SC)?

HP, but it was interesting to see the Green candidate get almost 10% of the vote.

Still, I'm surprised that the SC Democrats would be so incompetent to nominate him.  Obviously the SCDP isn't in great shape, but it's not like Oklahoma where Democrats are pretty much resigned to losing and nominate Jim Rogers for every race.

And is also evidence that the average Democratic voter in SC is not competent enough for choosing their Government.

And the average South Carolina Democratic voter is, by any other name...

This statement is also true for most voters in America, regardless or party, race, gender, etc. Voters in Florida, New York, New Jersey, South Carolina etc seem to go out of their way from time to time in making Democracy look bad.

I think that cases like SC are more the exception than the rule, though.  SC is especially peculiar because the state has a landscape that can produce a Democratic victory statewide in the right conditions, and therefore one would think the State Democrats would at least try to put up a formidable candidate, but most of the time the opposition parties put up someone who isn't a complete joke - definitely not to Alvin Greene-tier levels.  Even Carl Paladino wasn't a total disaster for the NY GOP when compared to other joke candidates.
