I doubt Hollings is vulnerable.

I think he has to be considered a prime target. He'll be a couple months shy of 83 years old in November 2004 (not that that ever hurt Strom Thurmond!), he drew less than 53% of the vote last time, he's made some very negative (and downright silly) comments about President Bush these last couple years, and Bush himself will be on the ballot in a strong GOP state. I would expect 2004 to be Hollings' toughest challenge yet (assuming a strong challenger, of course).

Ditto, but somehow this cadaver (like Harkin in Iowa) slides on through every six years. And Fritz is even MORE out-of-touch with the political climate in his state than Harkins is in his.

Who can the Republicans get to oust this anachronism? Does Carroll Campbell have any political capital left in SC? What about Charlie Condon? If neither of those, then perhaps congressman Jim DeMint can give it a shot.

Hollings has indicated that he would retire. Who was it that put the confederate flag above the capitol?
