Nice that Little Lindsey can spare some time for the people on the Saturday before the primary! The Chamber of Commerce must've had a prior engagement that day.

Pay per view could work here....

Miss Linda’ll probably get all flustered and affronted that people would question her record or values and start whipping them with her feather boa.

What a shocker! An opportunity for the challengers. The Grahamnesty team has made a huge mistake.
To: Servant of the Cross
He’s a very slimy politician. He’ll have his phony righteous indignation talking points ready on every issue.

Things really are going his way. June 7th is a Saturday night; viewership is likely to be very low compared to a prime time night on SCETV.
One debate televised. Three days before the primary. On International Date Night Number Two!
Doesn’t matter if he does poorly. Not many will see the debate and he will win all the newspaper and TV reviews.
Man, my optimism just took a direct hit. Somebody cheer me up.
To: Resettozero
These people are very skilled at manipulation and timing. I’m sure both McCain and McConnell (and probably buddy Chuck Schumer) are advising Graham.
And he’ll probably put forth some big initiative too a week or two before the primary, just for a little gravy.
And the moderator will probably be some paid hack who will allow Graham to go on and on about his own brilliance and leadership, while the best challenger will get some question on a local watershed issue or something.

Sounds like Linda’s all puckered up.

How did you get such a keen understanding of SCETV all the way up there? BUT THAT DIDN'T CHEER ME UP!

“How did you get such a keen understanding of SCETV all the way up there? BUT THAT DIDN’T CHEER ME UP!”
Because the same thing would happen here, and has. It’s the same everywhere. That’s what they always do. Graham is to be protected.

Sorry I didn’t cheer you up but there’s something going on, like carefully timed and laid plans are being enacted.
The candidates, especially Bright, need to be on their game, get under Little Lindsey’s skin and openly mock him on foreign policy and everything else. And I’m sure his wife, John McCain will be in the audience for support.

I’ll try. SCETV’s audience is mostly no more than South Carolina’s tiny liberal community, except when beg-fest time comes & they briefly air shows that non-liberal non-gay & non-greentea drinking folks might actually watch.
The only watchers of Flimsey Tinkerbelle at that debate will be those who want him/her/it to win. The challengers will I hope by then have lined up a different debate venue where they will dare him/her/it to debate without the benefit of a fawning lefty moderator.
Flimsey wants the challengers to think he/she/it already owns the terms of the debate. I think they will prove him/her/it wrong.
Keep the faith, bro.

Divide and conquer. It’s sad. Solid red state like Nebraska that gave us Chuck Hagel. I say go for the looker(mace). It would emphasize the ugly women in the other party. Mickulsky? Jackson-Lee? Gag me with a spoon!

Okay, now, THAT worked! You've helped get my head reattached approximating somewhere near my shoulders. And you are right.
Before I read your post to me, I emailed a few of the challengers basically saying what you wrote me. I requested they do the SCETV debate only if challengers can directly question LG and then to remember they are running AGAINST GRAHAM, not each other! Furthermore, I urged they not wait any longer but come out onstage now and kick some!
I tell ya: In this State, it truly is We The People vs. The Columbia Uniparty Machine Which Always Seems To Win.

Frankly, folks, Lindsey is a pretty good debater. He chased ambulances all over the hills around Seneca, South Carolina.
He does a dynamite cross examination of a witness--even Supe Court nominees. Then he's vote the liberals right in after hard questioning, posturing for the cameras.
Be careful what you want
he's a slippery one.

Lindsey Graham has and will continue to fool a large majority of SC people, who are grossly uninformed.

I don't think the people of SC give a rat's patoot how these guys perform, because it's Anybody But Lindsey.
But we could sure use some leadership, like from Sarah Palin.
