Clyburn Senses "Elephant Dung" in SC Race

Written by FrumForum Editors on Sunday June 13, 2010

Rep. James Clyburn still suspects that the South Carolina Senate race was not clean:

On Sunday, the congressman took his charges to a more colorful level, proclaiming that there was "elephant dung all over the place" when it came to Greene's election.

"[I]t turned up after the elections, we found out, as I said earlier, something untoward was going on," Clyburn told CNN's State of the Union. "Now all of a sudden, we see that Congressman Joe Wilson's campaign manager was, in fact, managing the campaign of my primary opponent. I saw the patterns in this. I know a Democratic pattern, I know a Republican pattern, and I saw in the Democratic primary, elephant dung all over the place. So I knew something was wrong in that primary. And this result tells us that. People intentionally circumvented the law, the rules and regulations, did not file any disclosures, did not file any of their campaign finances, yet they spent hundreds of thousands of dollars running this campaign and broke every law."
