Politics | Alvin Greene Surprise Winner: Felony Rap Won't Bump Me From SC Senate Race Dems tell Alvin Green to quit By Rob Quinn Posted Jun 10, 2010 1:22 AM CDT Copied South Carolina Democratic candidate for US Senate, Alvin M Greene, poses for a photo yesterday. (AP Photo/Mary Ann Chastain) South Carolina's Democratic Party wants surprise Senate nominee Alvin Greene to hurry up and go back to being an unknown. The leader of the state party says she has asked Greene to pull out of the race because of his pending felony charge for showing an obscene photograph to a student, the State reports. Greene, however, says he has no plans to step aside. "The Democratic Party has chosen their nominee, and we have to stand behind their choice," he told AP. "The people have spoken. We need to be pro-South Carolina, not anti-Greene." Greene hasn't yet been indicted in the obscenity case. Read These Next University does 180 on professor fired for Charlie Kirk post.
