[At first glance, othe than the Merchant Marine, they Look like Romney-ish Carpetbaggers.

Under Grad and Masters from Brown University? Born and raised in Maine?

Public Defender from Broward County? A wha????

I realize there was no republicans in SC 25 years ago (just a bunch of Converted democrats), but Sticking with Muffin Cumberpatch III seems the best option, here.]


Agreed. If these people were longtime right-wing activists or state legislators with a voting record, it would be a different matter. As it stands, Grahamnesty is looking like the half-a-loaf we’d be well-advised to keep in office.

In 2008 Lindsey forced me to vote for my first Democrat in my life, Flat Top Bob Conley. He was by far the most conservative candidate in the race. He ran as a Democrat in the general because no one wanted to run in the Democrat primary. Too bad somebody like Conley isn’t running against Lindsey as a Democrat.

"any one of these three ran against Linda in the primary alone, they would be a shoe in. When three run, they split the vote, and linda will waltz in, again."

Yeah, ego before country=loss unfortunately.

In 2008 I voted for a good ol’ boy Democrat named Buddy Witherspoon just so I could vote against Flimsey Tinkerbelle who had already become the Scarlet O’Hara of Senate Republicans.

That's the last thing anyone needs?.

Better to stick with Graham?-Just makes it difficult because of the long history of backstabbing- But maybe that's what's best for POTUS.
