Look......Lindsay Graham was handed his primary victory with ease!!! Why....because his opponents all cancelled out each other!!! Had Graham had to face some strong opponent...this would have been a different, more competitive race!!! the Tea Party has to field just one opposition candidate...period!!!
Keep us in your prayers.
Virginians in Cantor’s district are not necessarily smarter but they are more informed.
We shouldn’t compare a relatively small highly conservative district in VA with the much larger statewide demographics of SC in which Graham’s people also appealed to dem crossovers.
See post #255 above to understand more.
Are you drunk, yet?
Your #257: Quite correct and well said!
yep cantor lost. cool beans
Thank you. May be some wisdom has seeped into my brain in my 70”s.
Nope, but I am very happy. I just hope Cantor takes amnesty with him.
It’s been a good night, in spite of Grahamnesty’s win. It’s a start and I hope it encourages all other conservatives out there to keep fighting.
The Dem nominee is Jack Trammell. He, like Brat, is a professor at Randolph Macon College.
Tim Scott got 90% in the other primary. I wonder if that even registers with Graham?
pro-lifer BRUCE POLIQUIN WINS IN MAINE #2 over pro-abort Republican Raye.

Is Raye the incumbent? Or is this currently a D-held seat?
30% in 28.7%-25.7% N. Above still leads NV Rat Gov Primary
it is an open DEM seat.
The incumbent DEM Michaud is running for GOV.
Should be close in NOV.
2008 Obama 55 - 43%
2012 Obama 52 - 44%
It is D+3. Rural northern Maine.
How Lindsey Graham Stomped the Tea Party
Unlike Mississippi Senator Thad Cochran, a 36-year veteran who was forced into a runoff with a conservative challenger last week, Graham left nothing to chance. ("I'm at a different stage of my life than he is," Graham said when I asked him about Cochran, adding, "I've been planning for a hard contest for two years.") He raised $13 million and seeded a formidable campaign operation, with more than 5,000 precinct captains and six field offices around the state. Through a combination of intimidation and enticement—as when he helped a conservative congressman, Mick Mulvaney, get a seat on the House Financial Services Committee—he kept the most prominent potential opponents out of the race. His six challengers include a state senator and five first-time candidates; combined, they have raised about $2 million.
That's how he won, money, influence, intimidation and enticement, usual crap.
SC voters are notorious near-idiots. But Brat was also a single, good candidate—whereas Graham had the great fortune of going up against many mediocre candidates.
LOL
