As head of the DSCC, Senator Menendez has weighed in over the controversy surrounding Alvin Greene in South Carolina, the candidate who won the US Senate Primary to face Jim DeMint in the General:
"This is clearly not in our whole universe of the electoral map, where we have focused our attention before Alvin Greene," he said. "We have other great races to pursue, and you know, obviously we attribute our resources, and our time and attention, to where we best think we can achieve both pickups, and of course, re-elect our incumbents."
"Based upon all of the allegations -- if the allegations are true, I'd like to see another Democrat replace him unquestionably," he added. "But if you ask me, 'Is it where we are going to spend a lot of time and attention of the Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee?' -- you know, I don't have unlimited resources."
Keith Olbermann last night called it the "Immaculate Election." You can see the full interview with the Senator below:
South Carolina Democrats rejected a protest of last weeks vote, though allegations and questions still abound. The Senator certainly has his hands full this cycle in a very tough climate. As you can see, the last thing he wants to do is get involved spending time and resources on this fight in South Carolina.
