kind of material they can give jim demint, the incumbent republican, much challenge for and yet there are charges of republican shanahan begans are ill placed, here s dick h harputlian. being number one on the ballot when nobody has any idea what they are voting on helps, and again, i think the names may have driven some piece of that, too. reporter: what he is referring is to kinds of complicated. the assertion is that alvin greene was at the top of the ballot and, therefore a lot of people who knew nothing about the camp, they voted for him because it was convenient and the other is african-american voters in south carolina chose alvin greene because they felt more comfortable with his name than vic rawl. and what democrats are suggesting it is possible they saw the name vic rawl and didn t think it was an african-american and chose instead to vote for alvin greene and there are allegations of voter
irregularity and somebody helped oil out and it may be dirty tricks and republicans across the board are generally denying that and the former party chairman makes the point if democrats were to do a backs room deal they could suffer a backlash and they say jim demint, the republican is pretty well entrenched and doesn t make sense, they would try and mess it up. listen to cane dawson. south carolina is a state that times can get to a circus like level and where he got the money is a question for alvin greene to answer and i feel assured to tell you a republican had nothing do with that. reporter: of course, jim demint, the incumbent republican there is very, very safe in the polls and is widely considered to have a huge advantage, whether or not the democratic nominee is alvin greene or vic rawl or anybody else. jim demint waiting and smile,
name sounded like the singer and i had never heard of vic rawl. yes, that s right. she voted for greene because his name sounds like the soul star al green. coming up, michele bachmann and the tinman are looking out for good old bp next on the ed show. stay with us. mom, thanks for the amazing pie! it s soo good. this is insanely good. see, i thank you for stuff! oh and thanks for the roof over my head.and stuff like that. you should come over more often. and thanks for having such exquisite taste.

significant problem, and that that problem has a significant outcome on the election. an appeal would be from an adverse opinion by the executive committee. and i don t know if i will appeal or not. i cross that bridge as i get to it. we take this situation one step at a time. i would however like to make sure go ahead? bill: one more thought? i d like to make sure that people understand that this is not a campaign against two people that did nothing. that is very disinagainuse to my disingenuous to my campaign that worked diligently from march 1st to election day. bill: i understand. we ll see if the news changes, thank you for your time, vic rawl, out of south carolina. martha: musab shock to lose to somebody who he never run into on a campaign trail and never saw a bumper or poster bumper sticker or poster.
martha: everybody was laughing and relaxed and smiling. when you think about what happened in san francisco during the world series back in 1989, that was such an incredibly frightening situation but these folks are so used to it, long as was not they also got rolling effects. bill: they finished the game, too! from san diego. martha: if that happened here, the city would be freaked out! bill: so now, the loser in south carolina s senate democratic primary, asking for an investigation, retired judge and former state rep vic rawl was trounced by an unknown, alvin greene, an unemployed army veteran. he raised no money, had no signs, ran no ads and facing felony charges to boot. still, greene won with almost 60 percent of the vote. the man he beat wants an explanation, that man is with us now, vic rawl, former democratic primary senate candidate.
