Apparently, those southern rednecks are just as ignorant as Democrats say they are. It appears, however, that it is the Democrats themselves who are making that gross generalization accurate.
According to a new Rasmussen poll, 21% of the voters in South Carolina are dumb enough to vote for a completely unqualified, possibly intellectually impaired candidate.
Rasmussen reports the details:
Republican Senator Jim DeMint earns his highest level of support yet in his bid for reelection in South Carolina.
A new Rasmussen Reports telephone survey of Likely South Carolina Voters finds DeMint, who is seeking a second six-year term, earning 64% of the vote, while Democrat Alvin Greene earns 21% support. Ten percent (10%) prefer another candidate, and five percent (5%) are undecided.
In the 2004 election, DeMint’s Democrat opponent got 44.1% of the vote. Since Greene is now getting 21% of the vote, that means that half of South Carolina’s Democrats are willing to overlook the fact that he is dimmer than a 25-watt bulb and give him their votes. What kind of thought process leads these people to a conclusion that says, “I think he’ll do a bang up job representing me and my state in the United States Senate.”
But if could be worse. Looks like damn near every California Democrat is going to vote for Barbara Boxer and she’s only marginally smarter than Alvin Greene. And that’s giving her the benefit of the doubt.

Just goes to show , You cant change STUPID !
If any of you watched "WKRP in Cincinatti", there was an episode where station manager Arther Carlson(Gordon Jump)ran for office. The debate scene kicked ass & was 1 of the funniest things I ever saw in a sit-com. He called the incumbent for his absenteeism because he was a drunk, & it was epic.
Alvin Greene is a rocket scientist compared to some voters... unfortunately.
To quote Mr. Greene himself, "Nooooooooo... Noooooooooo.... Nooooooooo!!!!!!!
So ok, they have Alvin.
Where are his running mates - Simon and Theodore?
Truth be told, all he wants for Christmas is a hula-hoop!
You know, if he wasn't running against DeMint, I'd root for him. So he's a half-baked half-wit that makes a mockery of our constitution? So far, I don't see the difference between him & most political hacks in office, with very few exceptions. It's just that DeMint is one of those exceptions.
Democrats in the south are stupid enough to elect a guy that thinks an island can capsize.

Alvin Greene may as well start picking out rims for his armored senate suburban.
"Democrats in the south are stupid... "
I don't think dumbocrat stupidity is confined to the South... I know it to be nationwide.
Huh. Did I miss something? Didn't we just elect Obomie-the-commie? I don't think stupidity is limited to South Carolina.
Obamunists

I think you need to check your figures, more than that percentage voted for Obama.
Now about this Greene fellow, how is he any different than many members of congress? Most of them are unqualified.
That's hilarious, H.R.
he's black - remember 90%+ of black vote for Barry?

MI Vet, that also was about how it broke down in the nomination race as well. Obama voters did the same thing to Hillary too, it was strickly about race, & it's been about race ever since, at least for the leftists.
I think Greene is the product of liberalism, meaning voters are dumber than him or he wouldn't be in the race. But is it possible that liberal SC voters are Greene's eggs and hams?
Either or, it is a true dilemma for pointy-headed South Carolinians.
