““They have over 1,000 precinct captains already lined up,” a source familiar with Graham’s effort tells FITS.”

These are the same consultants who ran the brilliant McCain and Romney campaigns. Things are looking up with Graham’s approval rating so low that the propaganda press refuses to report the numbers. My guess is that he’s at 37% approval and falling fast. The South Carolina Tea Party folks are performing brilliantly with a ground game that is keeping the pressure on this RINO weasel by magnifying every error that Graham makes.

Why buy into the DC career ladder nonsense......

It's not career-ladderism, it's get-Cornyn-outism. Someone's got to do it. Louie would suit me fine. I'm sure Texas has many others who could do the job better than Cornyn but whoever it's going to be needs to saddle up soon.

"What Tea Party advocate would ever call themselves a democrat?"

When the TEA Party first started there were lots of Democrats involved. I hope there still are, Taxed Enough Already applies to them as well as us.

Man, are you ever living in the past. Today there’s not a single democrat in Congress who is not an islamist, islamist facilitator or outright communist, and there are more than few so-called Republicans in their ranks as well.

I’d wake up.

15% of our TP group are FORMER democrats... You know, the one’s you can sit down with and have a conversation without them slobbering at the mouth and calling you names... We actually have A LOT in common. We don’t always agree how to get there, but our goals are the same... SAVE THE REPUBLIC!

I would love to see Cornyn gone...and like Graham, Burr, Chambliss, etc...these very red states who elect moderate squishes to the Senate are where we get killed.

SC should send two DeMint types....Texas two Cruz types....etc. These red state RINOs are far more devastating than the Scott Browns of the world.....who really are the best we can get from Mass....

Voters maybe.

The only "democrat" TEA-activists or candidates would be RAT plants, or decoys.

At this point he should be thrown out of the party.

Do we do that any more?

Read much? He wasn’t talking about Congress... The DEMOS in Congress are all from the far left... Moderates have been purged or defeated...

MOST TP groups consist of conservatives who are working to make things better. He||, we hardly talk about party affiliation....

GA’s Senators are TRUELY embarrassing... Chambliss won back in the day by flogging Max Cleland (and rightly so) with his voting record of lock-step voting with the NE Liberals. He was good for a while... Johnny Isakson has ALWAYS been a squish who you could NEVER depend on as a solid conservative vote...

GA doesn’t have a state-wide office with a Democrat... We’ll make sure that the next Senator is Cruz-like...

I agree. That's why I've focussed on Senate RINOs in particular. They are the worst of the worst when you figure the opportunity costs, comparing the damage they do to what could be done with more Lees and Cruzes in their place.

Yes, Georgia is a problem......Cain would have been better than Isakson....and I remember Rush making fun of Saxby on air a few years ago, and Saxby was too clueless to even know it was going on. It was something related to energy where Saxby had bought into some man made global warming mess....

Little back story: I got into a short debate with Haley Barbour at the NC GOP convention right after his speech....where he was bitching about tea party candidates losing Delaware (he is STILL OBSESSED WITH Christine O) and so on. He said stuff like “Brown is the best we can do from Mass, Snow and Collins are the best we can do from Maine, Castle is the best we can do from Delaware...etc”

Okay, let’s assume he has a partial point...which on Brown he surely does....but he couldn’t answer this the other side....which is that we MUST do better than Chambliss, Cornyn, Graham, McCain, Burr, Isakson et al from red states. He fumbled and mumbled on that one.....

I had higher hopes for Haley at one point but now I suspect he’s really Karl Rove. Ever see them together?

Don't you mean "ever see them apart?" And the answer would be NO. They're a team now. Have been since before the 2012 Prez convention. Haley and Rove commiscerated on the strategy for Crossroads advertising. They now generally are a speech team for these state conventions, etc.

It bothers me that none of the purported "facts" in this article are sourced and cannot be cross checked.

Lee Bright to oust Lindsey Graham in SC

Are the other two challengers genuine conservative candidates? I only ask because, here in Massachusetts, I suspect that on the rare occasions a real conservative announces, the MA GOP recruits a liberal to run in the primary and perhaps a self-styled "conservative" with no political record to split the conservative vote. I don't know whether the SC GOP is quite that devious!
