A critical thing here would be for everyone to make sure that whatever conservative challengers enter the primary against Graham, they aim ALL of their fire at Graham and not at each other. If Graham can be kept below 50 in the primary, all conservatives could unite behind whatever challenger advances to a runoff. A runoff is where Graham can lose to the united conservatives.
It's also important that a competitive Democrat primary be held so that Democrats are motivated to come out and vote in that primary. My understanding is that any Democrat who votes in the primary (as a Democrat) would not be allowed to later vote in a Republican runoff (to cause mischief by voting for Little Lindsey).

Let’s not be so quick to be DEFEATIST!
A strategy of get the GOPe RINO to a runoff (by keeping him below 50% in the primary—and delivering the death blow in the runoff) worked to get Ted Cruz past the GOPe RINO candidate Dewhurst in Texas. It worked in Texas and it can work in South Carolina.
...ping....
Both McCain and Graham fit into a sub-category of RINO, in which they totally agree with the Democrats on most issues; except civil rights, in which they both support the most fascist approach they can take.
The end result is that they are both pseudo-leftists and national socialists. And truthfully, it’s hard to tell which of these two things is worse. They are like the worst of both worlds.
I suspect the truth is that they know when they vote with Democrats, time and again, it angers their constituents; so they think that by going to the opposite extreme, as they *imagine* it to be, they will get back in conservative good graces *just enough* to survive.
However, this crap has to end. Unfortunately McCain’s wife is a beer heiress, and will spend as much money as it takes to destroy anyone who challenges him. Graham, McCain’s butt boy is far more vulnerable, so should be a primary target.
Optimally it will end up with a strong Republican conservative majority in the senate, with McCain off by himself, full of empty curses and threats until they scrape him off his seat.
I agree, Lindsey Graham needs to go. I am afraid that being a closeted homosexual has colored his thinking and his politics. It would have been better if he simply came out of the closet and admitted his homosexual proclivities and got it over with.
I have to say that his position was probably colored by his former military service as a JAG. He probably lived with the don’t ask, don’t tell rule for so long that it was a way of life for him.
I’m posting every article I can find on getting Lindsey Graham out of office.

Can you do anything about those up in MA?
“Can you do anything about those up in MA?”
No, other than posting these articles to keep the betrayals in mind to SC voters and sending money to moderate’s opponents. That’s the most I can do. And also, supporting and voting for conservatives senate candidates so that the moderates have less backup in Washington, which I’ll be doing in the primary tomorrow.
Good luck: How do you think the primaries will come out?
Republicans: Gabriel Gomez; Michael Sullivan; and Daniel Winslow.
Democrats: Edward Markey; Stephen Lynch
How do you think the primaries will come out?”
In all honesty, I have no idea. I think it’s likely Markey will win on the democrat side, however, all I have seen are Lynch signs. He has the support of all the unions (though not the leadership) and there are a lot of unenrolled and independent voters here who will take a democrat ballot tomorrow to vote for Lynch.
On the republican side, Sullivan, the conservative was on top for a while and has the support of all the conservative groups here as well as the talk radio people. But Gomez has recently polled above Sullivan because he’s gotten a lot of moderate support like former Governor Weld and his like, who will do anything to promote Scott Brown types and to prevent a real conservative from getting the nomination.
Ideally, I think Markey would be easy to beat by a conservative like Sullivan. Less so by a moderate like Gomez, a la the Warren/Brown race. It would be a tougher race between Lynch and Sullivan, and between Lynch and Gomez, I think Lynch would take it because, in all honesty, between the two, he’d be preferable to all.
I hope it becomes a Sullivan/Lynch race but we’ll see. It’s up in the air.
put me on the list.
Lets grid of the non Conservative
