In the soon to be awesome parlor game revolving around Democratic Senatorial nominee from South Carolina, Alvin Greene, I'm going to posit my own crazy theory. Here it is:
Greene's "handler" is ... his father!
I kinda get the vibe that Mr. Greene (the Elder) is the one who put up the $10,400 entrance fee for the race and running the campaign.
Just spit-balling here after way too many beers on a Thursday night.

I'm beginning to think that Alvin Greene was just as sincere in his run for office as all of those batshit-crazy perennial candidates that liven up so many municipal races in this country (like Will Sanders in Madison).
I strongly suspect that he won the primary because a large number of Republicans crossed over and gave him the Putney Swope vote.
If the Democratic Party were smart, they would embrace him. It's not like Vic Rawl had a snowball's chance in South Carolina of defeating Jim DeMint. Alvin Greene is the ultimate outsider. You couldn't draw a bigger contrast with DeMint.
I have to vehemently disagree with your idea of embracing this dude. Like you say, he has all the making of a "batshit-crazy perennial candidate" in the early stages of a lifetime of wasting voters time and energy.
Nobody wins in this scenario.
For the love of God, he's been charged with sneaking into a college computer lab and showing porn to a co-ed freshman!
I can't find the link, but a SC lawyer/state legislator went and spoke with Greene and said that if Greene was a client he would recommend a mental evaluation.
This isn't Rocky. It's just a tragedy.
