Vic Rawl, South Carolina Democrats Want a Do-Over

South Carolina Democrats — unhappy that their candidate of choice for the senatorial race in November's general election was so lame and unremarkable that he was beat by some guy who did zero campaigning and can barely talk simply because his name is similar to a someone else who sings pleasantly — want just one more chance to win the nomination.

Maybe best out of three? It only seems fair…

The [South Carolina Democratic executive] committee on Thursday will hear from Vic Rawl, whom the unknown, unemployed Greene defeated in last week’s primary, on allegations of faulty voting machines. It has the authority to call for a new election, according to the South Carolina Election Commission…

His story, though, has brought enough embarrassment to the Democratic Party — and to the entire state — that the committee could feel compelled to call for a new election, whether Rawl’s protest yields conclusive evidence or not, said Larry Sabato, director of the University of Virgina's Center for Politics.

Apparently, the establishment candidate has learned his lesson, and is prepared to do what it takes to convince South Carolina voters that he's a preferable candidate to Alvin Greene. For example, here's a selection from his new campaign materials…

Now, that's a candidate that South Carolinians can get behind.

Your good thing (is about to end), Alvin Greene.
