WHo are his voters anyway? How does a state elect him and Jim DeMint at the same time?
As I understand it, Lindsey was a lot more like DeMint when he first entered politics. As close as he is to McCain these days, I chalk at least part of it up to John turning another political figure to his way of thinking.
Once a political figure is elected, it’s darn near impossible to root them out from their own party. The Republican party would have none of it, and the grass roots is a hard way to dump a guy with little organized funding. McCain is a good example. He’s a real Mo Fo, and yet, he gets re-elected every six years.
You can see the dynamics at play right now.
I hope someone can replace Graham in 2014. I believe that’s when he’s up again.
