Welcome to Free Republic. You are not from South Carolina, are you? The Republican nominee for senator in 2014 will win the seat.

No, this has been explained before. SC has a run-off election. The more the merrier at the beginning. As long as Graham doesn't get 50%+

I understand in SC in the primary the winner has to have over 50% so there being three challengers it’s not such a problem.

If 4 run for the Repub nomination, I don't see a clear cut winner if they split. Would that mean a run-off if no one has 50%?

Graham may not make one of the top 2. He may be out after the first round and not make it to the run-off. That's what I'm praying for.

All RINO debris must be challenged in their primary and/or voted out in disgrace. The political Elites no longer represent their constituents; they represent their own self-serving interests, IMO.

Correct. The top two go to run-off.

The more at the beginning, the less chance Graham has of being one of those two.

I have all the faith in the world that an actual conservative will be representing South Carolina in the Senate in 2014, even though I am not from South Carolina and so i am actually not too worried about it. I do feel though that one should remember at all times that getting rid of leaders we do not like is always only half the battle. That is a universal principle.

All I am saying is we get a principled conservative into that seat and THEN break out the celebrations. But to be sure, I am not truly worried about it and have full faith that principled conservatives iN South Carolina will get the job done.

Agreed. However, none of the apparent challengers seems to be running to Graham’s left.

Does Graham have a left? John F. Kennedy was more conservative than Graham.

Yes. I think lots of RINOs may be in trouble after this Obamacare deal is over.

53 percent of the 500 Republicans surveyed hold a favorable view of Mr. Graham

IMHO, 53 Percent is way, way too high. Cash, Bright and Mace better get a move on.

It is disgusting that a conservative state is represented by Miss Lindsey.

Have the good people in N. Carolina ever inadvertently elected a non-conservative because there were too many on the ballot?
