Texas is an open primary state, too. Dems voted for Dewhurst in the primary, but not in enough numbers to get him over 50%. I'm not too worried about dems affecting the race.

Sounds like someone working for LG, trying to divide the anti-Lindsey vote.
To: vikingd00d
I just wish it wasnt an open-primary state. All the rats will be voting for Graham in the primary.
You are correct. We have not been successful yet in getting this open-primary law modified. But it may get changed one year soon because of decisions still being made about who will pay for State primaries in the future.

Opinion, or what did you read or hear that makes you think that way? Not disagreeing with you; just don't know the facts yet.
To: SoFloFreeper
It doesn't work that way in run-off elections. The more the better at the start of the primary. Whatever it takes to keep Graham under 50%.

I think you might be right

Nope. SC is a run-off election state. The more the merrier at the beginning of the primary.

Lindsey’s ace-in-the-hole is not only the support of the popular John McPain but Democrats can legally “cross over” and vote for Lindsey and thus offset the conservative opponents! I am reasonably sure that Lindsey will win it all! People in SC are really uninformed.

John McCain stepped in it in SC in 2000, he’s really not all that beloved there. Democrats have always crossed over for Graham, it will be no different in a runoff. There is an excellent shot at unseating him.

We know enough to know some Tex-uns on FR are know-it-all know-nothings.

Yep. Plurality races for a primary are the pits.

I think they’ve been getting informed real quick. South Carolina most recently elected Tim Scott in a landslide to the US Senate. Senator Scott is one of the Tea Party “caucus” in the US Senate.
The good folk in South Carolina are going to send Little Lindsey Graham packing to his retirement serving as a towel boy in a DC bathhouse. First by keeping him below 50% in the primary and then defeating him in the runoff.

Four of them? That's not good.
The best way to beat an incumbent is one on one. That's how Tim Walberg KO'ed Joe Schwarz in 2006.

God loves a runoff my man. wish we had them here in Davy Crockett land Here too. Four conservatives split the vote and got us the moderate Snyder for governor. He has some good points, but isn't nearly as good as the others would have been. In 2012, a runoff would have stopped the weakest candidate from winning the senate primary.

yeah, he knows he can win against 10 challengers, but not against 1.
To: The Sons of Liberty
Connor is the biggest threat to Graham because he takes away Graham’s retired military support, which is significant in South Carolina and one of Graham’s strengths
