Clyburn also noted weirdness in two other Democratic primaries, though the Greene one seems the oddest of the lot. SC has a lot of political bizarreness going on. Between this Greene dude and the nasty Republican primary for Governor (where the leading candidate has been called a "raghead" by the opposition and a line of political operatives have suddenly sworn up and down that they slept with her) it is a fascinatingly messed up place. I mean, they are making Clyburn look reasonable and that takes some doing.
