Lindsey Graham ally: Graham will face ‘competitive’ Tea Party challenge

Sen. Lindsey Graham, R-S.C., will face a “spirited” and “competitive” primary challenge, according to ally and former South Carolina GOP chairman Katon Dawson, who nonetheless predicted that the South Carolina lawmaker would win reelection in 2014.

“We look forward to a very successful season, but certainly it’ll be competitive,” Dawson told the Washington Examiner in a phone message replying to questions about the 2014 race.

“Senator Graham has been one of the most successful politicians at the ballot box and has cut the hide of a South Florida alligator when it comes to campaigns and elections,” Dawson also said.

Dawson, who runs a pro-Graham super PAC called the West Main Street Values fund, promised that his group would ”meet the independent expenditure front that’s being mounted against the senator.”

I disagree. Let Graham come out of the closet. How many South Carolina conservative voters will feel comfortable voting for him when they could choose a Tea Party candidate instead.

Thanks for staying tuned on the latest TexGrill updates. At least I don’t have to set up a Ping for you. Just because I disagree with Americans for electing Obama to 8 years in the White House doesn’t mean I’m not a patriot. And when Hillary Clinton is President for 2016-2024, will you still say the US is better than all other countries?

Nancy Mace is one of three (I think)that are considering a run at Graham. She has a Solid conservative back round. She is the first woman graduate of the Citadel.
Here’s her Facebook page...

Relax dude. The forum is rife with subversives trying to control the narrative.
I just said was odd is all.

Well thanks for not calling me a troll. When I launched full-scale support of Tom Pauken, a Republican, and oppossed Greg Abbott, a fellow Republican, for governor of Texas, I was called “troll” 29 times in just 2 weeks. I can’t even count the amount of times Freepers claimed Pauken is a liberal, just because he’s attacking Abbott and requesting a debate during the Texas GOP primary season. Pauken wants to debate Abbott on who’s more conservative: Pauken or Abbot?

I will stand down too, unless you raise a fabulous defense of Linda Graham, and I shall return to the battlefield.

We need a Tea Party candidate running as an Independent so that if several R’s run against Linda in the primary and he wins by them knocking each other out, then the whole state can send him home and send the T.E.A. dude to DC.
