Over the past three days, one Alvin Greene from rural South Carolina has captured the popular imagination with his tale of coming from nowhere to capture 60 percent of the vote in the Democratic primary for U.S. Senate.
OK, ‘popular imagination’ may be going too far. But his story has captured our interest, and that of cable news, in a big way, a way that Greene himself probably wasn’t prepared for.
But Greene, an unemployed Army vet who, as far as anybody can tell, didn’t do a lick of campaigning, was able to do something many candidates never quite grasp: He stayed on message.
What was his campaign like? Old fashioned. Is he a Republican plant? Nope, he’s a Democrat. How about those porn charges? No comment.
