As pollsters predicted, South Carolina Sen. Lindsey Graham won a second term, defeating Democrat Bob Conley. The Associated Press called the race for Graham a close friend of Sen. John McCain shortly polls closed at 7 p.m. The call was based on an analysis of voter interviews, conducted for the Associated Press by Edison Media Research and Mitofsky International.
Number one, Im grateful appreciative to have a second term, Graham told the AP in a telephone interview. He said hell continue reaching out to Democrats and mainstream conservatives as he returns to Washington. Ill just keep on being me.

Go to hell, RINO.
Lindsey ping!
So much for Republicans being prejudiced against gays.
GO TO HELL RINO.. RAT.
In other words, if you don't buy into shamnesty and other liberal policies he'll still label you a "bigot."
That is one lame republican - SC can surely do better.
Where’s the barf alert?
Keep Gramnesty in the Senate, John, not in your cabinet.
“if you don’t buy into shamnesty and other liberal policies he’ll still label you a “bigot.””
Proud to have Bigot as my middle name!
South Carolina Ping
Add me to the list. | Remove me from the list.
I honestly don’t know if Conley would of actually either been a very conservative politician, a political maverick, a populist, or eventually moved leftwards after some serious coaxing by Democrats. I still would of voted for Conley, if I lived in South Carolina, but Conley would often be like nutty Ron Paul on how he voted on most issues. Graham still seriously needs to be replaced asap!
No, no! Appoint him Deputy Undersecretary for Fabulousness and left Sanford appoint a conservative in his place!
Blech. Another six years of loafer McAmnesty water boy.
As I've posted before:
IF McCain wins, hopefully he'll bury Grahamnesty somewhere in the executive branch and Gov. Sanford will select another no-nonsense conservative in the mold of DeMint.At this point, IMHO, the only good thing about Grahamnesty is that he does have a "R" after his name. Granted, the R stands for RINO but at least it's an R.
Lindsey Ping
"Republican by day, Democrat by night."
As far as I know South Carolina does not force an election so that would be the best outcome. As long as RINOs like Collins and Graham are numbered in the Senate GOP ranks, there is zero chance that we will have any more than a Bob Michel cadre of go-along-slowly types leading a resistance to nutjob lefty policies. I’d like to see McCain appoint all the Rats he can to the cabinet, frankly, from states with GOP governors.
He will keep on being “ME” and if the Republicans in General feel that way they will never win.The Republican Party has lost its way and by the time they regain their composure the Democrats will finish draining the blood from America. HH!
I heard the “ME” remark. It was so “gay.”
This is one Senate race I wouldn’t have minded losing.
I disagree now’s not the time to take chances on rat party members imo.
