Primary Tuesday comes and goes each year without fanfare. Party drones waddle to the polls and endorse the candidate they are expected to support without question. Well, not this year.
From Fox News Alvin Greene is the proverbial enigma wrapped in a riddle surrounded by mystery.
He's also the new Democratic candidate for Senate in South Carolina.
Greene admits he had no campaign headquarters, no party support, no contributions, no job, no computer and no cell phone.
Yet, somehow, he managed to pull off the most unlikely of victories, and -- unless state Democratic Party officials have their way -- will face incumbent Republican Sen. Jim DeMint in November.
Greene's improbable victory over Democratic candidate Vic Rawl, a former state legislator who officials expected would win, has unleashed a flood of questions, including how the unemployed Army veteran managed to pay $10,400 to get on the ballot before running a "low budget" campaign with no ads, website or fundraising.
How great is that? The fact that it happened to the Dems is even better.
