Look!\u00a0 Up in the sky!\u00a0 It’s a female wrestler<\/a>!\u00a0 It’s a “meltdown mogul!”\u00a0 No, it’s…Alvin Greene?<\/p>\n

Thank goodness for the East Coast and its bipartisan craziness when it comes to U.S. Senate candidates.\u00a0 In Connecticut former World Wrestling Entertainment CEO Linda McMahon<\/a> is using her millions to batter her Republican primary opponents<\/a> with the financial equivalent of a conveniently located folding chair.<\/p>\n

Florida\u2019s Democratic primary just got more intriguing with the unexpected candidacy of Jeff Greene<\/a>, a \u201cmeltdown mogul<\/a>\u201d who made a killing betting on the housing market collapse who had Mike Tyson serve as his best man<\/a>.\u00a0 The possibility of his beating establishment favorite Rep. Kendrick Meek has some party officials thinking about backing newly Independent Charlie Crist in the general election.<\/p>\n

And let\u2019s not forget South Carolina where the still mysterious Alvin Greene<\/a> (no relation to Florida\u2019s Jeff), was recently allowed to continue as the Democratic Party\u2019s popularly chosen nominee<\/a>.\u00a0 CFIF readers may recall<\/a> that Alvin raised no money, did no campaigning, and cruised to a 60% victory apparently because of being listed first on the primary ballot.<\/p>\n

CFIF will keep an eye on these and other races for you as the election heats up.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
