“He’s the third senator from New York”
For the record - *not* a term of endearment when you're the junior senator from South Carolina. But that's exactly how Thomas Ravenel described Lindsay Graham yesterday. Consider it fallout from not only the judicial nomination compromise, but Graham's history of "going his own way" on several issues. (In fact, Ravenel went so far as to warn Graham to listen for footsteps before the compromise was even inked)
Ravenel, you might remember, was a candidate for the GOP nomination for the US Senate last year - only missing the runoff by a hair behind RS-endorsed Jim DeMint. And while I preferred DeMint, Ravenel is a conservative who went out with a lot of class. I hoped then that he'd run for something else - perhaps the House, or a gubernatorial bid. Let me revise that: I hope he runs for the Senate again. Very soon. We're not going to lose South Carolina
I just wrote to Kasich to urge him to run.
#614-785-1611 if anyone wants to call New Century project of which he is Chair to urge him to run. Please do!
I've been promoting Ravenal all across the board. Plus Lafferty? against Chafee. Time to take them all out.
