No Excuses

Alvin Greene has been indicted on obscenity charges.  The head of the South Carolina Democratic Party, Carol Fowler, is once again urging him to withdraw his name from the race, and he is once again refusing.

Are you wondering why?  I am.  Well, actually, I have a theory (as does everyone).  I believe that Alvin Greene's nefarious backers have assured him that if he stays in the race and keeps a low profile, they will pay all his costs, and maybe even a bonus, you know, just like on Wall Street, for a job poorly done.

I may be wrong.

But wouldn't it be something if Greene woke up one day, and said, I can't take this anymore, and withdrew from the race.

But then what?  Would Vic Rawl re-enter?  To my mind, he doesn't have the fighting spirit that would be needed to even cause Demint to come home from campaigning for his other Corporate Conservative candidate friends around the country.  I doubt that Demint would break a sweat over it.

Of course, the longer Greene stays in, the harder it would be for another candidate to step forward -- we don't have the deep pockets, and the friends with deep pockets, that Demint and his cronies have.

So maybe one day Alvin Greene will withdraw.  But it's not going to make a lot of difference.

If we want to get rid of Jim Demint, we do it with Alvin Greene or without:

Alvin Greene
because he's
Better than Demint
