This is the problem with trying to oust an incumbent—there are head-fake candidates and other well-meaning challengers who want to replace the incumbent. They each siphon off a small portion of the electorate, which means the big name wins by default.

In the SC pubbie primary any candidate must get 50%+1 to win; so if there are 5 candidates and linda grammy gets 46% and the 4 get the remaining 54% the candidate with the second most votes is now in a run off against linda.

This is the time when the conservatives MUST stick together and if they do, linda retires to the fag farm with prissy little goats.

Thanks for the clarification. There may be hope, after all....

A crowded field in the Texas Senate Race put Ted Cruz in 2nd Place to challenge the 1st Place finisher, the well-bankrolled, GOPe candidate, Lt. Gov. David Dewhurst. Then Cruz spanked Dewhurst in the Runoff. That’s the way it’d done. Head-to-Head in the first round, Cruz might not have succeeded.
