In light of a new poll out from Landmark Communications and Rosetta Stone Communications, no one is talking about Lindsey Graham’s re-election as inevitable – or anything close. In fact, given Graham’s long time incumbency, and his constant media attention, the numbers are embarrassing. Graham received support from only 42 percent of respondents, while late entry state Senator Lee Bright was second with 13 percent – ahead of two other challengers who had earlier starts. The survey of 500 likely South Carolina Republican voters was conducted on Sunday, August 25th and has a margin of error of 4.5 percent.
“The many years of promoting liberal policies and courting liberal followers is finally catching up with Lindsey Graham” said Bright, a favorite of Tea Party and liberty groups, adding that “his performance and obvious isolation from reality has driven a wedge between him and conservatives everywhere, especially South Carolina.“
Bright mentioned that Graham’s recent “ridiculous stances on not defunding Obama Care and on Syria have really alerted voters to his reality problem, which is why 60 percent want him to be retired.”
“The top line numbers are humiliating enough, and really bad news for an incumbent at his stage” said Bright spokesperson Edmund Wright, adding that “he can’t win with 42 percent, and at this stage of his career, he’s not likely to get any more popular than he is right this minute.” Wright mentioned that “the internals are even worse for Lindsey Graham. This is why we’ve been smiling at the so-called conventional wisdom from establishment figures insisting that he was a slam dunk for re-election.”
Graham’s only niche over 50 percent at the moment is the over 64 demographic, a group Wright said “is more likely to go along with the mainstream media early in a campaign, but the bad news for Graham is that SC primaries are not won by mainstream media support.”
Graham not only fell way below 50 percent in a four way race, but was unable to crack the 50 percent barrier in any head to head hypotheticals as well. “Lindsey Graham is definitely not trending” said Bright, who added that the results “demonstrate what we’ve said all along, which is that if we can get any kind of reasonable financial support, we will remove him from office. There’s no doubt in my mind.”
maybe there is hope for Tennesseans to be rid of lamar this election, PLEASE GOD let him decide not to run again! Which will throw the race open, and let the idiots move out of the way of a STRONG BIBLE believer and Constitution Lover way.
Lamar’s already running for reelection. And a conservative named Joe Carr is running against him. Kevin Kookagey was also going to run but the Tea Partyers are uniting behind Carr in order to defeat Lamar.
Have you ever noticed that when polls show them in trouble, Rinos like Lindsey shuffle their feet, swear to change and claim to have seen the light, only to revert back as soon as they've fooled enough people to get re-elected?
What do you know about Joe Carr? because this is the first I’ve ever heard of him. Don’t know the other guy either. I’ll go with who ever the Tea Party backs. I sure don’t want RINO back, he can go home and play with his grand kids while he still can at his advanced age.
Joe Carr is not a RINO. Here’s his site.

Kevin Kookagey was one of the people the IRS targeted and he spoke at the hearings a couple of months ago. He was going to run but when Carr announced, he decided against it so we could have a united front to defeat Alexander.
I post any interesting stories I can find on ousting these worthless RINO’s under the Elections tab at the top. So you can always get updates there on what’s going on.
Didn’t I read some days back that Bob Schieffer of TX considers Lindsey a shoo-in.
People in TN probably think they are required to vote Lamar!, or the sun might not rise tomorrow if they don’t.
Well the “shoo-in” is going to need to spend a ton of cash in two elections just to get the nomination! He can be defeated. And I’m going to do what I can to pummel him until he’s gone.
“Have you ever noticed that when polls show them in trouble, Rinos like Lindsey shuffle their feet, swear to change and claim to have seen the light, only to revert back as soon as they’ve fooled enough people to get re-elected?”
Yes I have. We’ve seen this with John McCain and Orrin Hatch. That’s why I’m never fooled by these people. You vote badly, you need to be removed from power. No more chances.
