From reading the letters to the editor in my local paper in his district I would say he has won as many supporters who were straddling the party fence as he has lost. The letters are about 50/50. He's losing strict conservatives but gaining moderate Democrats.

I'd venture to say that letters to the editor generally run about 50/50 on just about any subject, if the paper is relatively objective.

Sure he is. Just who do you think decides what letters get published? And who do you think votes in Republican primaries? It's not those mythical "moderate Dems" I can assure you. The MSM is doing whatever they can to spin in Lindsey's favor on this. I do not buy it for one second. The activists that vote are very, very, angry!
I also have to add that the media is making it out that it's only the social conservatives and Christian right that care about this deal on judges. Wrong. I am neither a social conservative or Christian and judges are the most important issue to me. I want them to follow the law not to make it. This issue cuts a wide swath amongst all Republicans.

You do realize this, right?

The scumbag "moderate" Democrats will vote Democrat no matter what. Of course.

Ah, yes. One can certainly see the polling of 'real' people by reading the MSM. Does anyone actually trust the letters selected for publication to be typical? My guess is they get 3 for and 3000 against, then publish all the for and 3 of the against. I'm from SC and will NEVER vote for Graham again.
That goes for everyone I know here. His main characteristic is his wierdness and I don't trust him with my representation.
I can NOT wait to vote against him!
