“My biggest fear is that we will get the 51 Senators we need in November, only to have Graham switch parties and hand it back to Obama. He is like a grenade with the pin pulled. You want to get rid of him, but five seconds after you let him go something bad is going to happen.”
My husband just said this very thing last night...he’s afraid Graham will pull a “Jumpin Jim Jeffords”
Graham has no intention of switching parties. I’ll throw a lot on his head but his inclination is to run the Republican Party and save it from our extremist views. Maybe if it looked like he’d lose a primary challenge but I’m not even sure he would in that case.
I’d welcome it if he did. It would be easier to fill that seat with a conservative if we didn’t have to battle an incumbent. And really 51 Senate Majority doesn’t mean much when the GOP is still populated with several establishment liberals. The House is where the real power will be. Vastly more conservative and it can stop any legislation with a simple majority. We need the Senate, but only for judges and with Obama as President I don’t think we can do much there on that issue until he’s replaced.
