Questons:

1. Is it right to dump a winning nominee?

2. Is it the democratic parties falt for not endorsing the other canidate enough?

3. If they didn't like the nominee why did they let him run for the democratic party?

Answer to Question 1:
Alvin Greene won the primary for the democratic nomination of South Carolina. People voted him in and if he was a democratic candidate then he most of believed in some of the democratic beliefs. He also won by over 100,000 people votes and the other candidate won only 70,000. The people who vote in the election had to know at least 1 thing about the candidates. I cannot see how they could dump this candidate. Even if he did not attend a lot of democratic meetings he and was not the most perfect nominee he still won. I also read about how he had some bad behavior but that changes little. I have rarely heard of a perfect person. I have never heard of a perfect politician. Everyone has some sort of dirt on them. I am sure that even George Washington was not perfect; today’s media would have found something wrong with him. The people elected him for some reason. The people believed in him for some reason. The Democratic Party has no right to kick someone off the ballot if they have the democratic principles. If you didn’t want him to run for the party you shouldn’t have put him on the ballot. I mean some had to have looked at the ballot and wondered if the candidates were right for the party. To say that just because you did not think the guy would win you didn’t take him off is not good enough. If they get rid of Greene you have to question the people in the Democratic Party.
