Alvin Greene Falls Just a Wee Bit Short Again

Better luck next time, Alvin:

Surprise candidate Alvin Greene was soundly defeated in his second bid for elective office on Tuesday. He captured only 37 votes or just about .01% of the 3,892 cast in a Democratic primary to fill a state legislature seat to cover an area including his hometown of Manning, South Carolina.

The good news is, this leaves him more time to devote to his 2012 presidential bid.

If he got 37 votes out of 3892, that would be about 1%, not .01%.

And we return to the "how the heck did he solidly win the primary last year?!" point.

Jim, I'd appreciate it if you stopped posting on this guy, as Journey's "Don't Stop Believing" begins playing in my head every time I read about his Quixotic campaigns......Journey.....No one deserves this.

@jasonhsv: The guy Jim cited wouldn't have been able to comment here, as he would not have been able to answer the math question!
