If Graham doesn't get 50% of the vote, it goes to a run-off election. The more to take away votes from Graham and keep him from 50% the better.

You know what would really be funny? A runoff -- without Graham, after he finished third.

Well, that's not going to happen. I'd like the chances of ousting Graham a lot better if one of the Republican Congressmen jumped into the race. Joe ("You lie!") Wilson, or Mick Mulvaney, or best of all, Trey Gowdy.

And that is the key. Think runoff Ted Cruz had with the establisment Dewhurst.\

And now we Texans have given you Ted Cruz. (accolades).

Happy to see there is the 50% runoff rule. A 4 way Republican senate primary in Wisconsin in 2012, with no such rule, gave away a winnable senate seat. I believe that happened in Missouri as well.
