—— But this line of reasoning has a potential flaw: South Carolina electoral law stipulates that a candidate must win at least 50 percent of the primary vote to avoid a runoff, and Graham’s chances of reaching that threshold could become even more difficult with additional names on the ballot. ——
This sounds ideal.
It’s particularly good because some of our candidates have been seriously defective, like Akin in MO. We need to weed such detectives out to get the strongest possible people. The most vital thing to remember is female reproductive physiology and fundamentalist Christian theology DO NOT MIX.

Graham gets all the RINOs and
gets all the Democrat “cross-over” votes in the “open” Primary.
Conservatives divide their votes and are conquered.
Lindsay wins!
It’s not like we haven’t seen this dirty trick played before...
