“You’re confusing Nancy Mace with Shannon Faulkner.”

Sort of. Have you read Nancy’s (ghost-written) book yet? :)

I know 2 people who were at Citadel at the time. I’ve reached out to them to ask them what they think of her running.

However, I never said she was not, nor could not be, good.

Like I said, I no longer JUMP in with money and/or time when someone “declares” that they are better and more Conservative than the other guy.

I also have a higher standard for Senators (6 years is a long time).

Too much to ask?

Lindsay sucks. He has to go. We agree.

But who else is running and why has the Media (and certain parts of the Rep. establishment) latched on to this one so early? Like they did Christie and some others?

I’m not going to bandwagon completely unknown candidates any more.

The Media and the establishment rip apart the good Tea Party candidates (Palin, Cruz, for example), but they seem to be ok with this one. Ok?

I think the media “latched onto this” because it just came out that she will formally announce her candidacy this Saturday.

If we want to get rid of Little Lindsey, it might be best to do a bit of “reserving judgment” on ANY of his announced opposition until things begin to clear up—it's early in the cycle. It's possible that an even more (i.e., more so than Lindsey) of a RINO/Liberal will come out to run against Graham. If that helps to drain additional votes from Lindsey, it's all to the good. The thing we want to happen is to force Lindsey into a runoff by preventing him from getting to the 50% thresh-hold needed to avoid such a runoff. You can take it to the bank that if he's in a runoff, he will be facing the most conservative of his primary opposition. Support can then coalesce around that conservative.

Very good post. If you can provide any of the feedback that people who were at Citadel with her, that would be valuable.

She's not run for public office at all, and as you say, there needs to be a higher standard for the U.S. Senate.

I await the news of SC State Senator Lee Bright officially entering the primary.
