It’s a dark day for the Republic.
(Daily Caller) — Republican presidential candidates can now breathe a sigh of relief. Former South Carolina Senate candidate Alvin Greene is no longer running for president.
Following his headline-grabbing campaign for office in 2010 as the Democratic nominee for Senate, Greene told reporters he would seek the Republican nomination for president.

Contacted by TheDC on Friday, however, Greene said that he would not be running in the upcoming election. “No,” he firmly said.
