Here is another "Просто о политике" тема для обсуждения:
Alvin Greene - Democratic party nominee for US Senate from South Carolina.
Few things about Greene:
Unemployed
Dishonorably discharged from Army
Under investigation for s ex-type crime (showing p orn to minor)
Lives with his father
Can barely say two words in front of a camera
Somehow gathered enough money ($10K) to put his name on the ballot
Well known facts about him way before the election.
Receives 28% of votes during the election this Thursday. That's 28%, not 28 people.
Over 100,000 people voted for him during June's primary although this guy didn't even have enough money for advertising or yard signs. Nor was he ever in public office or famous in any way.
Oh, did I mention he is african-american?
So, if this is not voting along the party line and for specific skin color then what is?
Too bad this guy lost the election. I would love to see him representing democrats in senate
