South Carolina Republicans need to do two things this year- hold Lindsay Graham to under 50% in the initial primary, than unseat him in the runoff.

Well, the Strom Thurmond reference may be a mistake.

I would love to see Lindsey beaten, but is this the guy to do it?

I’d give to Buddy’s campaign and I’ve never heard of him. I live in NJ and don’t want to see Lindsey’s goofy grin for 6 more years.

Here’s hoping the voters bounce that puke Graham out on his head.

Well, no one else better-known was willing to step up, although a local Mayor is also in the running. Either will be fine with me, and the DemocRATS show no sign of putting up a serious candidate.

“Either will be fine with me”

I meant either challenger to Graham.

I think it would be great if Graham got defeated in the primary. I used to live in SC when Thurmond and Hollings were Senators. DeMint needs someone more like him than Graham.

I live in Laurens, SC and I will NOT vote for Lindsay ever again. I don’t know much about this guy but if he is on the ballot then he will get my vote.

Who is the mayor in SC that might run?

Please, please please say that it’s possible for Lindsay to be unseated....that may give me hope for future efforts of conservatives to impact elections.

Couldn't agree more although I suspect he's been promised something in the McShame's admin. should he win.

Mark McBride is the Mayor of Myrtle Beach.

I’d take either, and what matters in the first primary is getting Graham below 50%.

It’s uphill (no well-known candidates are running), but Graham’s approval ratings have fallen, so it’s possible.
