SC has one of the most conservative GOP House delegations..IMHO, any of them would make a superb senator, a great improvement over Graham. We now have three "lesser-known" announced candidates. I mean them no disrespect by that term. As polls continue to show that Graham is NOT popular among the GOP base in the state, is there a possibility that one of them would decide to go for it, and challenge Graham in the primary? None was willing to do so as yet...it'd mean giving up a very safe House seat..but if they sense weakness, all bets could be off. If, for example, Trey Gowdy announced tomorrow, I think he would instantly become a favorite, and likely cause Cash, Bright, and Mace to drop out. Gowdy would have no trouble raising the $$$, and he'd have a slew of volunteers.
Thoughts?

It has been my hope all along that Gowdy would declare. He still has plenty of time before the primary next June.
Even though I think Mace Cash and Bright are all good candidates, especially Bright, I still hope Trey will announce.
