the opposition dilutes their vote. he represents the old guard. All the others split up the opposition. Simple math. He’s better organized and the opposition needs to get some discipline.

The more pertinent question is, when is PBS going to be defunded?

PLEASE get out and vote Tea Partiers. We don’t need to beat him tomorrow ... just force a runoff.

I might be wrong, but me thinks the pundits will be eating crow this time tomorrow. I see very few Linda supporters here in the upstate.

You are exactly correct! Less than 50% for Lindsey is the goal!

My daughter lives in Charleston and can’t find any there either. She and her Citadel classmates are all voting for Nancy Mace. I don’t care as long as they all vote for someone other than Graham!

“Wonder how much this article cost him?”

Having driven thou much of South Carolina, i can tell you the Article is probably accurate. Graham has a enormous money advantage, and a sinister campaigning machine.

Furthermore you will mostly find his signs in places where Democrats are traditionally strongest which tells you Graham draws much of his support from Democrats that vote in the South Carolina Republican primary.

The Lack of a unifying Republican Opposition leader to Graham means we can’t rally our remaining forces against the Rino’s and and Dems who support Graham. Graham also campaigns to democrats in his appeal to voters on the grounds that he takes care of people.

Simply put taking out a well entrenched encumbrance is very difficult in any state, indeed if that incumbent has a high position or profile in Congress like a minority, majority, or otherwise leader It darn near impossible due to their access to money and power.

But Graham is a democrat in republican clothing, and the democrats of South Carolina know it.

Hard to argue with someone as well-traveled as you. Tomorrow night or Wednesday morning, we'll know.

It all comes down to money and big rollers and corporations usually bankroll incumbents with a proven record - of pandering to them.

I suspect you intended to write "incumbent," but this is more accurate.
