("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.
He claims his win sent the Tea Party all these messages but it simply shows how hard it is to beat an entrenched bought-and-paid for politician.
He needs to be reminded that without those “tea party” voters in November he gets term limited.
Take the heat to him. Publicly challenge him on his “bonafides”. Call him out. Demand he state his intentions on. Gun control, immigration, debt ceiling, obamacare, etc He brought up impeachment- ask him if he would vote to convict Obama for violating immigration law, refusing to inform congress of the terrorist trade for the traitor . If I lived there it would either be you pledge to tow the conservative republican platform or we sit out voting for him in Nov.
