“it would unnerve the GOP-e, and force them to dump millions into his campaign.”

That’s also been one of the main reasons to challenge these people. They love to go to fundraisers to build warchests and then slip back into office unopposed.

We’ve forced John Cornyn to spend 6 million, Mitch McConnell 10 million, Graham I think 8 million, Cantor, millions (don’t know the number), etc.

I’m sure they’re all really pissed that they have to go to all these horrible chicken and potatoes fundraisers, only to spend it all against people who they think are beneath them. And THEN they have to battle the democrats!

A lot of warchests will be close to empty by November, so pat your self on the back for keeping the pressure on these worthless aristocrats. They may get back into office, but at a cost and not forever!

Exactly! And this is why they are so PISSED OFF at Senator Ted Cruz, who has rallied and inspired the conservative base by calling out the gOpE on their fake comfortable 'show votes' and lack of fight.

And here's why Senator Cruz stood up to these fake conservatives who merely pretended to stand up for conservative values with show votes but actually just cared about their D.C. 'prestige' .... and thankfully, Ted Cruz has called them out on it and thus helped conservatives to make gains in the primaries (although McConnell made him promise to not get involved in the primaries of sitting gop incumbents) ...

CRUZ: I will tell you the single biggest surprise in arriving to the Senate is the defeatist attitude here. I mean, we don't even talk about how to win a fight. There's no discussion. We talk about, "Hey, let's get a show vote so we can go tell our constituents we're doing something." But I promise you, Rush, if you had to sit through one Senate lunch, you'd be in therapy for a month.

RUSH: (laughing).

CRUZ: I don't know that you could -- as bad as you might think it is, and, listen, these are good men and women. I respect them. I like them. Many of these are my friends, but they've been here a long time, and they're beaten down, and they don't believe we can win. They don't believe it can happen, and the answer they say on every issue is, "No, we can't do it. We can't do it."

“Well, there’s a democrat primary too so that may help with that.”

$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$

So they’ll just vote in both primaries. Probably multiple times.

That is good news indeed! Maybe there is a fighting chance.

“Graham said he is a ‘conservative leader you can count on to get things done.’”

Yeah, boy, you’re as “severely conservative” as Romney, Grahamnesty.

I would never bet on him losing. Lots of money can buy lots of votes, most of the time. Like Thad Cochran, I wouldn’t doubt for a minute that Graham would snivelingly appeal to Democrats to keep his pasty white buttocks in that seat.

Then again, if he did lose, I would be more than happy to lead the assembled Munchkins in a hearty chorus of Ding, Dong, the Witch is Dead.

Maybe Graham could become roomies with John Edwards.
