Via Daniel Foster:
House Majority Whip Jim Clyburn has called for a U.S. Attorney
investigation into the mysterious candidacy of Democratic Senate
nominee Alvin Greene because he thinks the mischief goes far beyond one
wacky race. Clyburn (D-SC), Congress' highest ranking African American,
told TPM in an interview today he believes at least two other
Democratic candidates on Tuesday's primary ballot were planted by
people with deep pockets and nefarious motives.
"The party's choice in the 1st Congressional district lost. The
party's choice for U.S. Senate lost. Sounds like a pattern to me,"
Clyburn told TPM. He said Greene was one of three Democratic candidates
in three separate races whom the state party didn't back or even
recognize. All three candidates are African American.
One is Gregory Brown, who ran unsuccessfully against Clyburn in the
6th Congressional district. Another is Ben Frasier, who prevailed
against state party-favored candidate Robert Burton in the 1st
district. Greene, Brown and Frasier have something else in common --
they haven't filed any campaign finance reports with the Federal
Elections Commission.
