To undermine Nikki Haley’s run for governor by clumsily trying to tie Alvin Greene to her Democratic opponent.

Haley can beat Vincent Sheheen straight-up. Interjecting the mysterious and kinda sad case of Greene’s nomination for US Senate is an unneeded distraction which could rebound to Sheheen’s advantage. Call it a sympathy by proxy vote.

But try telling the SC GOP that — try telling them anything in fact.
