I don’t agree. Graham has all the money. All of these other candidates are going to split what’s left. Graham squeakes by with 52%.

“Graham has all the money. All of these other candidates are going to split what’s left. Graham squeaks by with 52%.”

Yeah, I think that’s a real possibility. Therefore, the more candidates against Graham, the better for Graham, because they split the opposition-to-Graham vote. Why can’t they all get together and have their own informal Anti-Graham Caucus, and pick one candidate?

South Carolina primaries are a "run-off" format. If no one gets 50% in the first vote, there is a run-off between the top two vote getters. LG isn't even close to 50% right now! So ... expect Linda Graham to be sounding like David Dewhurst around next June ....

I disagree. Yes Graham has tons of money, but do you honestly think he can get to 50% in a 5 man race in this political climate? And he’ll have to spend a ton of his cash in TWO elections just to get the nomination.

And he’s exceedingly arrogant. He won’t be able to help himself. He thinks himself all high and mighty and the people will say “anybody else!”

You would be wrong. SC has a run-off election. If any of the 5 or 6 candidates does NOT get 50%+ of the vote, then the top two vote getters go to run-off.

It's not a presidential election.

Each thinks he is the solution but more than one is bacoming part of the problem

I LOVE this place. Regardless of the good news, we can ALWAYS count on

To show up.

“All of these other candidates are going to split what’s left. Graham squeakes by with 52%..”

Not going to happen. The ads running against Graham have dropped his approval rating from 74% to 41%. South Carolina had a liberal RINO - Bob Inglis - who was defeated in the primary runoff by 71% to 27%. Trey Gowdy beat him handily. Graham is in big trouble.

BTW, Graham has been officially censured by the party in SC. That's not someone that can win 50% of the vote in the primary.

I agree. That’s pretty close to what happened in Tennessee and they got Corker.
