“will face four primary challengers next year
FOUR?? That creep is going to get reelected!”

There is a runoff if no candidate gets 50%. So the more the merrier to force Graham into an one on one race with an actual conservative.

A five person primary makes it very difficult for Graham to get to 50%! We can take Graham out in a runoff like we did David Dewhurst.

In the mean time, the South Carolina legislature is planning to close its primary so that democrats cannot assist Graham get reelected.

Cotton, you have greater confidence in the S. C. Legislature than I. This isn't the first effort to close the Repub primary in recent years. Conservatives are still outnumbered by the Dems and the SCGOPe in the S. C. Legislature.

That's good about the runoff elections there. Here in Missouri it's who gets the most votes wins. That is why I posted what I did.

I wish Mo. would close it's primaries too. We lost a good Repub. nominee in the Senate race last year because the democrats voted in our's and got a "crackpot" Tod Aiken nominated.
