Graham No. 4 “Most Vulnerable” GOP Senator
fitsnews.com ^ | 10/23/13

Posted on 10/23/2013 7:50:04 AM PDT by cotton1706

Liberal Lindsey Graham (RINO-S.C.) has been ranked by Roll Call as the fourth-most vulnerable “Republican” United States Senator heading into the 2014 elections.

“Graham’s top primary challengers have so far raised a fraction of what the second-term senator has been able to bring in this year,” the inside-the-beltway website notes. “But conservative state Sen. Lee Bright and Nancy Mace, the first female graduate of the Citadel, nonetheless see an opportunity against the senator with a record of bipartisan deal-making. The goal for each is to face Graham one-on-one in the runoff, when anything could happen.”

Graham is ranked behind U.S. Senators Michael Enzi of Wyoming, Mitch McConnell of Kentucky and Thad Cochran of Mississippi on the list.

Roll Call’s rankings are the first released since the GOP’s unconditional surrender to Barack Obama in the so-called “government shutdown”/ debt debate last week.

“The GOP brand overall may have taken a significant hit this month and caused at least some concern within the party about obtaining or keeping the majority in either chamber in the next couple of election cycles,” the website notes. “But the shutdown only fueled challenges to sitting Republicans.”

Especially those who surrendered before the first shot was fired …

Surprised Thad Cochran is seen as so vulnerable. Maybe some private polling has been done. The man will be a titan to take down if he decides to run again. He brings home the bacon.

Still, I endevour to help Chris McDaniel to succeed.

Last election here in Alaska, Lisa Murkowski was beaten in primary, so against her promise, she ran a write in campaign in November. She went to the big Native Conference that year and promised the Indians all the gold they could eat if the DEm Indians would vote for her. Entire villages of Democrat Indians were 100% for LIsa on write in ballots, all written in with one person's hand writing. Our REpub judges stopped any legal challenges, and Murkowski beat Miller (the tea party candidate) by several thousand votes. The same Lisa Murkowski who voted to increase the spending limit with that other group of RINO women.

So we all should look around at our own Republicans, many are no different than the socialist Dems.

Yeah. Cornyn also “voted” with Cruz.

Yet, he fought Cruz all the way...with a passion.

It’s called Protection from the Election.

The challengers might be trailing in funding because the donors are waiting to see who to support. See my tag line.

If you want Graham gone, must unite behind one candidate and go forward. Mace and Bright need to make a deal or have someone make one for them. Only way to have shot at graham.

Not true. The more the better. SC has a runoff. Keep Graham under 50% and then he goes toe to toe against a conservative. And spends a ton of money in two elections, just to get the nomination.

I will note that Enzi was apparently unable to convince his fellow Idahoan Brasso to join the effort.

All seven of these Rino’s don’t believe it yet, but they fell into a burning ring of fire, and it burns burns burns!

John Cornyn has GOT to go in Texas! We flushed Kay Bailout Hutchinson completely from politics; now we need to rid our state of John Corn-hole!

He is only "conservative" during his election campaigns and when it helps the GOP-Elite!

He is of the same mold as McCain and Graham! They role the American populace over, lube them up and say, "Just take it for now and when we get the majority, then we can stop this rape!" And their idea of "stopping the rape" is pulling out a few inches! I am tired of this strategy; I think TEXAS is tired of this strategy!

We need to FIGHT and FIGHT TO WIN! The only thing I admire about Democrats is that they are dedicated to winning; legally, illegally, through executive fiat or judicial decree - they always fight to win.

Corn-hole, McCan't, and Linda Graham are one in the same - they are the "Wimpy" of politicians: "We have to surrender today, so that we can be the majority next election cycle!"

BULLSHIT! I am done with this thought process and he MUST go!
