Typical inside the beltway bullcrap. I expect Graham's days are numbered.

What’s up with that “logo”. Who’s is it? Looks strangely Islamic.

If conservative opposition is divided (as it usually is) Graham will win again.

I hadn’t realized there’d be a runoff if he doesn’t get 50%. That seems like great news, and as if the number of candidates shouldn’t hinder a challenge after all. No?

Needs to be Trey Gowdy, or someone of his statue as challenger.

If Graham's opponents keep him from getting 50%+ of the vote, then it goes to a run-off election. Just like Cruz did to Dewhurst.

The more the merrier in the primary.

She is on Glenn Beck now !

Central theme : Do you trust this government ? She says you can't trust the Washington government as it is now , until you change the leadership.
She has said that she won't waiver from her foundation of principles : life , liberty , and justice ;
and that she has the record to back up her claim .
She acknowledges that it is uphill battle, since Lindsey has a warchest of three point four million dollar already in hand .
Hopefully there is a podcast avialable for later listening.

Incumbency is difficult to defeat. He has many IOUs from many money concerns.

Lindsey Graham: I Will Run as Conservative in GOP Primary

==

Then we see the definition of insanity: Doing the same thing and expecting a different result.

One, maybe two, staunch conservatives might have a chance to dislodge Graham. Three or a dozen won't. They will dilute the vote in Graham's favor. Have conservatives not learned from the presidential primaries of 2008 and 2012?

If the conservatives have not coalesced around one conservative by early 2014, Graham will probably win again.

“I hadn’t realized there’d be a runoff if he doesn’t get 50%. That seems like great news, and as if the number of candidates shouldn’t hinder a challenge after all. No?”

That’s my reading of the situation. Claims to the contrary ares simply whistling past the graveyard.

Texas had an open primary. We voted for Cruz and the Dems voted for Dewhurst.

Just getting Graham into a runoff can win the thing.

I’ve seen this movie. Many conservative candidates go after a liberal in the primary, each claims to be the most conservative of all. At the end, it leads to the liberal winning the contest and conservatives complaining over how the liberals or moderates keep winning the primaries. (Another version: blame the media for deliberately writes about several conservative candidates so the votes are spread).

“But it would take an extraordinarily large amount of money”

How do you contend with all that money...by compiling an extraordinary amount of votes.

This will be the voting season where money can’t buy you love, IMO. We The People are out of jobs and money, but we have the power of the vote, this time around lets hammer the RINO’s, right out of the halls of congress.

I heard her on Beck’s show. I thought she gave off sort of a Kelly Ayotte type vibe.
