One commentator made the point that multiple opponents actually INCREASE our chance of beating Graham. In a two horse race....the incumbent has a lot going for him. With 4-5 in the race, it'll be much harder for Graham to get to 50%..then the strongest opponent emerges..the others get weeded out..and we have a much better chance of beating him in the run-off. I don't think that anyone who votes for one of Lindsay's opponents will turn around and vote for him in the run off. Cruz pretty much followed that path in Texas last year, and it turned out pretty well.
I saw Mace on with Cavuto a few days ago, and I think it's just a cased of nerves. It was a soft-ball interview, yet you could see that she was mentally trying to remember to stay on script..to introduce herself to the voters. I think she'll get a lot better in the next few weeks...if not, she weeds herself out. Remember, Haley was pretty stiff early on..and just look at her now.
I don't know that much about the candidates...but I wonder if Palin will make an endorsement.
