South Carolina Is About To Get Interesting

"...We believe we’ve found an iron clad way to extend the run-off period in the South Carolina primary. Right now it is at a paltry 2 weeks and we believe we’ve discovered something that will extend that to 60 days...."

I hope there is something to this. Two weeks is insufficient time for a Senatorial Primary run-off. If true, this would be VERY bad news for Little Lindsay Graham.

I agree. This is important. Not enough attention is being given to this race. Linda Gayham is a CATASTROPHE! This guy is McLame’s soul mate. Defeating him might cause an early retirement for the Arizona Asshat!

Good luck, S Carolina conservatives! If you’ve truly found a way to extend the run-offs, that will hurt Linda Grahamnesty’s re-election prospects. If you replace him with a conservative, the whole nation will owe you a huge debt of gratitude.

The article is strange to me. It says that Tim Scott is a “fighter” when I think the only senators that “fight” are Cruz, Lee and Paul.

I don’t think that Tim Scott is such a big fighter or he
would be joining the fight against Graham.

One of the ways the Alinskytes win elections is by making the other side think they’ve got the election in the bag then bring in the busloads of welfare recipients and illegal aliens with multiple voter identities that they take around to different precincts to vote then win it right at the very end. Do NOT relax with the Dems. Need to catch them in the act. Follow the buses to every destination and bust their sorry ashes.

I’d be shocked if there were anything to this.
My sources say primary June 10, primary runoff June 24.
filing deadline for independents - July 16
filing deadline for other parties - August.

My best guess is that redstate is suggesting that one of Graham’s opponents run on the Constitution Party ticket.

If that happens, the 'opponent' has just gift-wrapped returning the seat to the McQueeg mini-me.

Two weeks is insufficient time for a Senatorial Primary run-off.

This is a really good point. For example, Ted Cruz had 60 days between the initial primary and the run-off election to gain ground on Dewhurst and obtain additional resources from national conservative organizations. If he had likewise been required to square off in a run-off election in just two weeks, we may never have seen a Senator Cruz.

I don't think all of the "Tea Party" PACs can sit on the sidelines until Lindsey is in a run-off. There's not enough time. I think the strategic heads of the Senate Conservatives Fund, Club for Growth, Freedom Works, etc. may need to weigh in on this primary before the run-off. Otherwise, it is a Catch 22 that favors the horrible incumbent getting re-elected.
