“Nobody” emerges to challenge DeMint

South Carolina politics can be different, but this news from South Carolina is different in a different way:

Alvin Greene has been on the phone all day. That’s to be expected for the guy who just won South Carolina’s Democratic Senate primary and is facing incumbent Republican Jim DeMint in November. But everyone calling Greene has just been trying to find out who the heck he is — and one thing reporters learned Tuesday is that a criminal complaint was sworn out against him last year for allegedly showing obscene photos to a South Carolina college student and suggesting they go to her dorm room.
Greene, a 32-year-old unemployed military veteran who lives with his parents, defeated Vic Rawl [a former state legislator and prosecutor] on Tuesday for the Democratic Senate nomination despite having run essentially no public campaign — no events, no signs, no debates, no website, no fundraising.
