DeMint is in serious trouble

It's far from inconceivable. All he had to do was get himself and his friends and his family to each speak outside a couple Churches every Sunday. I think you'd get a lot more than 100,000 people hearing your message.

Why has the media not been able to find 1 out of the 100,000 that voted for him? I'd like to hear from them.

Here's 1.

But the Free Times also explores the role that race played:

Blacks spell Greene with an "e" on the end, and the average voter in a South Carolina Democratic primary is a black woman. Also, Greene's name appeared above Rawl's on the ballot and the name Rawl sounds like white Charleston aristocracy. Most voters didn't know who Greene or Rawl was and Rawl didn't campaign enough to earn high name recognition even though he certainly campaigned very hard throughout the state. A massively uninformed electorate chose the name Greene over Rawl and it's just that simple...

Kevin Gray, a prominent black activist and author in South Carolina, says he voted for Greene. "When I was in the voting booth I looked at both those names," he says. "I'd seen Vic Rawl on Facebook before, but Alvin Greene, that name looked black."
