The surprise winner of the South Carolina Democratic Senate primary, Alvin Greene, tells Time magazine scribe Michael Scherer that he should be Time's Man of the Year for what he has done in the election.

"I am the best candidate for the United States Senate in South Carolina," he tells Scherer in the piece that hits newsstands Friday. "And I am also the best person to be Time magazine's Man of the Year."

Adds Scherer: "Greene's election has become a who-done-it of the political year, with a formal prrabroad
est filed with the state Democratic Party, a legal challenge before the Federal Election Commission and endless local chatter about how a man with no real campaign, who gets information "mainly" from television, defeated the party-endorsed standard bearer, a retired judge who had printed 10,000 bumper stickers, logged 17,000 miles crisscrossing the state in his hatchback, and paid for a 220,000 autodial phone calls before election day."

But I'm willing to bet this will end up being some democrats brought him in. It seems the common wisdom there is if there was no opponent, there would have been no coverage whatsoever, because there would have been no primary.


Mega whoops.
 
Yeah, that's what we do here in NE (or at least my city... all states should be uniform within on how they do elections, but I reckon they aren't) and it works just fine.
 
Same here in WI, at least in my neck of the woods here. Only difference is we use a marker, nrabroad
a pencil

Either way, the ballrabroad
s physically exist, and can be recounted. In addition, the machines that scan the ballrabroad
s have a paper receipt showing what it has read and counted.
