Good man gains
Polistra likes this Alvin Greene fellow who's running for Senate in SC. Likes him in a plain and simple way... not because he might be a spoiler, but because he's a true political novice and an introvert.
Introverts are less susceptible to peer pressure, more inclined to think for themselves. At first it wasn't clear that Greene was intelligent enough to think competently for himself in such a hi-falutin arena, but his intelligence is coming through now that he's saying more than Yup and Nope. He's just laconic, doesn't feel the need for endless jibber-jabber.
One sentence in Greene's debut speech catches Polistra's attention forcibly:
"Let's reclaim our country from the terrorists and communists."
When was the last time you heard any politician name both factions of our enemy correctly? Pretty sure no national politician has named Communists as an internal enemy since the Cultural Revolution was consummated in 1974. ¶ 7:40 AM
