Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-S.C.) was caught Thursday on a live microphone offering to help the Obama administration pressure Speaker John Boehner (R-Ohio) into supporting the Senates aid legislation for Ukraine.
According to multiple reports, Graham, who is facing a tough reelection race this year, was caught on a live microphone after a hearing telling Secretary of State John Kerry, Let me know what I can do to help you with Boehner.

What is the best way to force Graham into a runoff? Is it to rally around one of the many little-known challengers, or is it to gather enough votes for each challenger in his home base to keep Graham under 50%? I lean towards the second option, but could be wrong. I just want to see Graham leave the Senate next year.

Lee Bright is gives off off-putting neoconfederatey vibes and has had financial problems with his business. I think Graham would probably beat him a in runoff by making the race about him.
Richard Cash is the alternative.

Didn’t Ted Kennedy sidle up to the Russians to get their help against Ronald Reagan?

I agree with Impy; Lee Bright is the most Stockmannish of Graham’s primary challengers. And Mace hasn’t been as good of a candidate as I initially thought she would be. I think that Richard Cash would be the likeliest to hold the conservative majority together in a run-off against Graham.
Of course, we need to get to a run-off first, so I would encourage Bright fans to go and vote for their candidate in the first round; keeping Graham below 50% is job one for all conservatives, regardless of who their dog is in the race.

As the candidates themselves have said, whoever gets to face Graham in a runoff, everyone must rally around them.

Dino used to have a bit of business where hed refill his tumbler and ask Frank, How do you make a fruit cordial? And Sinatra would respond, I dunno. How do you make a fruit cordial? And Dean would say, Be nice to him.

On that, I agree 100%, and I would support Bright over Graham if the two were in the run-off. The problem is that it would be easier for Graham to depict Bright as “dangerous” than it would be the others.

I hope this dispels ANY remaining doubt which side Gramnesty is on! B-b-but, he has an "R" after his name! That's all that matters! As long as the Republicans gain control of the Senate, that's all that matters! < / Pollyannaish Republican rant off >
