we need to keep that seat.

You don't have that seat, the GOPe has that seat. They always vote conservative when it doesn't matter because there is no chance for the bill to pass anyway. Watch the cloture votes where a RINO will vote for cloture then claim they voted against a bill that they know would pass once it came to a vote.

Since the former SC Democrat Chairman himself, Dick Harpootlian, declared Graham to be the Democrat Senator from South Carolina, I expect they’ll do their darndest to help him in November to a third term. If not, Graham will have made his bed.

I don’t know what Dick Harpootlian is up to but I am 1000% certain that the current rat chairman, the DSCC, Barak Obama, and Harry Reid, will be supporting the democrat nominee, State Senator Brad Hutto.

Yes, there’s that. Good point. If we get the White House and both houses of Congress in 2016, we need to make sure the filibuster is not restored, in order to fix all the things that the Democrats broke since 2009. After a few years, if we aren’t doing daily battle with marxists who seek to destroy America, maybe the Senate can consider the filibuster. Personally, I never liked it in its modern iteration. I am all for delaying legislation for a few weeks to prattle on in opposition and hope you get people to change their minds. But at the end of the day, all nominations and legislation only need 50 votes under the Constitution.
