COLUMBIA, S.C. (AP) -- U.S. Senate candidate Alvin Greene is taking his longshot campaign to northern South Carolina.

Greene spent two hours Monday on a morning talk show on Charlotte, N.C., radio station WBT. He talked about his well-worn themes of jobs, education and justice, but also revealed some new positions, such as opposition to gay marriage and support of abortion rights.

Later Monday, Greene planned an appearance at a restaurant in York.

Event organizer Will Bigger says Greene will be given time to talk to voters, then a moderator will ask him questions submitted by voters and reporters.

Some Democrats have rejected appearances by Greene after he was indicted earlier this month on two charges earlier this month, including a felony count of showing pornography.
