Democratic Senate candidate Alvin Greene’s economic stimulus plan is coming to fruition, with an assist from an unlikely source: The Charleston RiverDogs, a minor league baseball team.
Greene raised eyebrows when, in the wake of his primary victory, he suggested to The Guardian, a British newspaper, that one idea to help create jobs in his state is to “make toys of me, especially for the holidays. Little dolls. Like maybe action dolls. Me in an army uniform, air force uniform, and me in my suit.”
It’s an idea the South Carolina native did not back away from in an interview with CNN last week.
“The reaction has been good. I am a true American hero and if any of the toy companies want to put something like that forward that would be good.” He said he has not received any inquiries. He said it would help spur retail sales. “Just a good positive thing for the kids” is how he described it.
