While South Carolina Democrats fret over how an unemployed political unknown with a felony charge hanging over him won their party’s Senate nomination, the first Rasmussen Reports telephone survey of the general election contest finds incumbent Republican Senator Jim DeMint far in the lead.
DeMint, who is seeking a second six-year term, earns support from 58% of Likely Voters in South Carolina, while Democratic nominee Alvin Greene picks up 21% of the vote. Nine percent (9%) like some other candidate, and 13% are undecided.

I hope so much that the democrats don't find a way to get rid of Greene before he has to debate DeMint.
It will be the funniest debate in history probably.

There is another person from South Carolina whom Alvin Greene might actually have a slight chance against in a political debate:

I'm not so sure if he could debate her or not, at least words come out of her mouth lmao!
They could ask Greene that question, but they would probably just hear something close to this: "Well, to be honest sir, I'm really not very sure why that is. I'm not, I'm just um not, um I'm not, I will um just have to find out uh well I'm uhm not sure."
It would be an interesting debate for sure. Its a good question as to which one of them would win a debate between the two. Its kind of like random words debating a few, unsure words lol.

It will be important to debate graciously in such a situation. Simply stay focused on his ideas and stay positive. Any attempt to embarrass the opposition can be a turn off for voters.

This is true. Green would embarrass himself sufficiently.
That said, and as much as I'd love to witness such a debate, I just can't see it ever happening.

and I wouldn't vote for either one of them. I'd vote for demint if it was really close but he's too hawkish for me.

Voting integrity groups call for investigation of South Carolina voting systems in wake of unexpected primary results in Democratic US Senate race
In light of questions raised around results of the South Carolina Democratic Party primary race for US Senate, Common Cause and Voter Action request the South Carolina State Elections Commission take immediate steps to launch an investigation of the state’s voting systems, as well as preserve voting data for a thorough investigation.
The reported results last week of the South Carolina Democratic primary election for the US Senate have raised questions among voters and observers as to whether the state's electronic voting system malfunctioned or was intentionally hacked. Those who believe there may have been voting system malfunctions that led to unusual results point to the fact that disparities exist between the precinct-based count and the absentee ballot count, the latter of which involves the use of a paper ballot optical scan system.
As organizations dedicated to voting system integrity, Common Cause and Voter Action request that the South Carolina State Elections Commission immediately take the following actions:
Move to preserve all of the data stored in the South Carolina Voting system until there can be a complete investigation to resolve any questions as to whether computer software glitches, hardware problems, or hacking may have impacted the outcome of last Tuesday’s election.
Suspend the June 22 runoff between GOP gubernatorial candidates immediately and commence a forensic investigation of the voting systems.
Programming glitches and errors which lead to miscounts are unfortunately all too common. When there is a paper ballot which proves voter intent, a simple recount of the paper ballots can rule out a computer counting glitch or reveal that one may have caused a miscount in the final tally. However, when there is no paper ballot to establish the vote count definitively, ruling out a computer glitch or even more nefarious hacking is much more difficult. Despite the difficulty, a forensic investigation into the voting systems should commence and all evidence should be preserved.
Federal law requires that jurisdictions conducting a federal election preserve all voting records for 22 months after an election. The US Justice Department states that this requirement includes the preservation of all physical ballots. In states using electronic voting machines, jurisdictions must preserve the data collected inside the machines.. Therefore the State Election Commission must impound the machines and secure without disruption the following critical components and data:
The flash memory card from each voting machine which must include all ballot definition files, cast vote records, audit logs and event logs.
The data in the Election Management System database and all database backups.
South Carolina is scheduled to conduct a statewide run-off election on June 22, using these same machines. Preparation for the run-off election will require election administrators to erase and re-program data crucial to an investigation of the primary, permanently eliminating the option of a forensic study.
Voters in South Carolina, as elsewhere, have a fundamental right to have their votes be properly counted and to have faith in the results of their elections. The promise of democracy demands no less.

Should we organize a money bomb for Greene? That might help with the numbers.

I'm stuck up here in North Carolina myself, but I'm going to make sure and rally all my SC peeps to vote for Greene.
