SEE HERE If you follow politics at all then you've likely noticed that this fellow named Alvin Greene won the Democratic nomination for the U.S. Senate seat in the Democratic primary in South Carolina. The whole thing is a hoot and the liberals are incensed because Greene is a convicted felon, spent no money essentially on the race beyond the filing fee of $10,000. The funny thing is that the Democrats are determined to blame it on the Republicans.
This is very illuminating. See if you can follow my logic: 1) In order to win the primary Greene had to get more votes. I gather his name was first on the ballot, which generates a small bump from voters who have no clue and just pick the first name. Maybe it was that they didn't like the guy they knew about who had spent all the money on the election where Greene had spent next to nothing. But in any case it wasn't the Republicans crossing over, they had twice the vote turn out in their primary. So the first mantra is I. Blame Someone Else For Results You Don't Like. 2) then now that you know it is someone's fault spin up the media with trial balloons that have nothing to do with reality. II. Construct a Narrative that Explains The Result (no facts need complicate matters). III. Try to Reverse the Result by Demonizing.
I think what it shows is that Democrats might actually have a sense of humor, at least the ones that vote. That does seem like an unlikely conclusion. Certainly the ones that live in my neighborhood don't. We just had a landslide special election which elected a local small businessman to replace a state delegate who was appointed by the governor to an agricultural position. The small businessman was a Republican. There was a failure of some equipment at the polls due to bad programming early in the day which stimulated a former Democratic city major to make accusations against the Republicans. I think it is actually a universal Democratic thing — Never Take Responsibility for Anything! And if something goes wrong, Look for Someone's A$$ to Kick!! It couldn't be your fault. Ann Coulter is a treat!
