Alvin Greene Gives 23 Second Stump Speech

By Exception Staff | August 13, 2010

Alvin Greene has captivated the nation since winning the Democratic Senate primary in South Carolina. That's because he was unemployed during his run and seems to have come out of nowhere. The oddly quiet candidate has even had to answer whether he is "mentally sound."

Greene, who is challenging GOP incumbent Jim DeMint, finally made a stump speech last night. And it clocked in at just 23 seconds, according to the Free Times.

Greene’s speech clocked in at around 23 seconds, which is consistent with what his campaign adviser Felipe Farley had predicted weeks ago, when he noted that Greene wasn’t going to be doing any long barnburners on the stump.

When Greene finished, one of his newer advisers stood up.

“I would like to say that Alvin isn’t being short with you -– my name is Georgean McConnell and I’ve been working with Alvin -– and we have a speech committee and so forth and so I didn’t want him to get into no debates tonight or anything, because it’s really not fair since he’s been very cooperative with us.”
