The Chamber of Commerce has deep pockets.
“...Instead of soliciting donations, Graham has been gripping and grinning his way through a feel-good tour of the Palmetto State, hosting free or low-dollar events that have drawn crowds of tens or hundreds of people....”
*******************************************************************
Wow, “crowds” of TENS or HUNDREDS of people!
Defense contractor $$$ most likely.
He fills their bank accounts by calling for all sorts of wars and engagements and defense spending, then they fill his campaign accounts with some of it.
Got the sequester reversed.
Please SC, dump this ‘Rat turd.
A gratifying experience for him, no doubt.
Crush. Crush. CRUSH! the Tea Party and any opposition!
A wise thing to do if you want to keep your job. Politics has never been nice. I am surprised that the Tea Party folks have not even raised a million at this point. Not sure what is going on with that.
Is there a good chance Linda Grahmnesty will be defeated in primary?
Linda Graham is a poster child for repealing the 17th amendment... just saying
Dems Have 3-To-1 Outside Money Advantage Over GOP Going Into Midterm Elections…
WASHINGTON (AP) — Deep-pocketed donors are turning over multimillion-dollar checks to influence November’s elections, and the sums raised by the national parties and their super PAC allies are already approaching the $1 billion mark, according to financial reports still being filed Tuesday evening.
South Carolina requires the winner of a primary to obtain more than 50 percent of the vote. In the event no candidate obtains a majority of the vote, the top two vote getters meet in a runoff primary three weeks later.
None of Senator Graham's challengers reached double digits in that poll. State senator Lee Bright led the four challengers included in that poll with 9 percent of the vote. He was trailed by Connor, Nancy Mace, and Richard Cash. Newcomers Det Bowers and Benjamin Dunn were not included in the February poll.

50% plus one required to win. SC uses an open primary in that voters choose which
party’s primary they wish to vote in when they go to the polls.
“Not one of Graham’s Republican challengers has exceeded $1 million in contributions. Graham’s campaign, meanwhile, has raised more than $11.6 million during the election cycle, and ended March with nearly $6.9 million on hand. “
and a whore makes more than a waitress, but who do you trust more
Hopefully the people in South Carolina are lying to pollsters and it won’t matter how many fat cat bucks Graham has shoved into his pocket, they just won’t vote for him.
Even if they can’t bring themselves to support any of his primary opponents, perhaps his supporters will just stay home that day, and let conservatives put Graham out on the street. Maybe he will move North and share an apartment with John Edwards.
