Sen. Lindsey Graham, R-S.C., will face a “spirited” and “competitive” primary challenge, according to ally and former South Carolina GOP chairman Katon Dawson, who nonetheless predicted that the South Carolina lawmaker would win reelection in 2014.
“We look forward to a very successful season, but certainly it’ll be competitive,” Dawson told the Washington Examiner in a phone message replying to questions about the 2014 race.
“Senator Graham has been one of the most successful politicians at the ballot box and has cut the hide of a South Florida alligator when it comes to campaigns and elections,” Dawson also said.
Dawson, who runs a pro-Graham super PAC called the West Main Street Values fund, promised that his group would ”meet the independent expenditure front that’s being mounted against the senator.”
That fundraising assistance will supplement the $6.3 million that Graham’s campaign has on hand, according to the Center for Responsive Politics. A spokesman for The Club for Growth, a powerful conservative group that was instrumental in the 2012 primary defeat of Sen. Richard Lugar, R-Ind., said that the organization is watching the race but hasn’t decided to intervene.

Another weed that needs to be pulled. We will be glad to see him go.
RINO hunting is both good, and necessary.
RINO panty-waist Lidthey Graham needs to be tossed out of office in favor of a conservative who doesn’t take in the hiney from Juan McNuts.
Good. He needs to be booted out on his arse.
Just use latex gloves.
There is NO reason why a state like South Carolina has such a RINO in office. Ofcourse, I say this from the great state of Arizona and we all know of the lifetime problem we have and can’t seem to get out of office either.
Someone really needs to ask these perpetual senators and congressmen why they feel such a need to remain in office forever.
Since Graham likes to compare himself to our founders, I’d especially like to ask him why he doesn’t follow their example and get out of politics quickly.
I can think of a good replacement.
His name is Trey Gowdy.
Yes he ticks off a bunch of his constituents with his Rhinoness but because they know him... well lets just say he is going to be a tough tick to extract.
Trey Gowdy bump. I am hopeful.
Uber RINO Lindsey Ping I wish he was as ruthless to liberals.
Why doesn’t the SC GOP get rid of the “open primary?”
Miz Linseed is such a purty gal — he makes Juan McQueeg verwy happy!
We need a Tea Party candidate running as an Independent so that if several R’s run against Linda in the primary and he wins by them knocking each other out, then the whole state can send him home and send the T.E.A. dude to DC.
