Likely, possible he is a secretly funded plant. However, if his entry helps force Graham into a runoff, and he isn’t one of the top two, is it harmful?
If this does happen, all this secret (actually unpublicized) information could be brought out to diminish his support.
yes, I agree with all of that ..frankly, folks I know who are involved in this race have no idea what Bowers is up to, except to get name recognition in this race to pave the way for an easier run for his congressional district later.
