Greene wants to play golf with Obama yet another Dem. primary winner wants to impeach him.

South Carolina's unexpected Democratic nominee for the US Senate, mystery man Alvin Greene, says he wants to play golf with Barack Obama. But in Texas, another surprise Democratic primary winner, congressional nominee Kesha Rogers, wants to impeach the President. So while South Carolina party officials are still unsure of what to do about Greene's success at the ballot box, Texas Democrats have no such reservations - they wasted little time in casting Rogers into exile and offering no support or recognition of her campaign to win what once was Republican Majority Leader Tom DeLay's old seat.

Rogers, 33, told TIME she is a "full time political activist" in the Lyndon LaRouche Youth Movement, a recruiting arm of the LaRouche political organization that is active on many college campuses. The LYM espouses LaRouche opposition to free trade and "globalism" (the UN, the World Bank, the International Monetary Fund) and it also calls for a return to a humanist classical education, emphasizing the works of Plato and Leibnitz. On her professional looking campaign website, kesharogers.com, she touts the LaRouche political philosophy - a mix of support for the economic policies of President Franklin D. Roosevelt and the impeachment of President Obama - and calls Obama a "London and Wall Street backed puppet" whose policies will destroy the Democratic Party. During the campaign, she was photographed carrying an oversized portrait of the President with a Hitler-style moustache penciled on his lip.

So... let me get this straight. LaRouche is a "racist" movement. And it's activists are African American??

Ummm .... gotcha.

If I remember clearly, Texas was one of the primary caucus Obama hi-jinx states? And, ya know, this is what happens when you "win" a state by hook and crook. Your own party feels cheated... and rises up to boot your ass out of office.

I hope Ms. Rogers runs and wins!
