Poll: By 52% to 37% Margin GOP South Carolina Voters Prefer a More Conservative Candidate Than Lindsey Graham…
RINO hunters, mount up.
(PPP)- Yesterday we put out a poll on Lindsey Graham’s standing with the entire South Carolina electorate. Today we narrow it down to those describing themselves as regular Republican primary voters.
52% of them say that given the choice they’d pick a more conservative challenger in the 2014 GOP primary, compared to only 37% who say they’d support Graham under that scenario. It’s a pretty simple calculus- Graham leads 47-40 on that question with Republicans who say they don’t consider themselves to be members of the Tea Party but he trails 76-18 with folks who identify with that movement. The Tea Party faction of the Republican Party has become more and more powerful since Graham dispatched a relatively weak primary challenger in 2008 and if the fever doesn’t die down over the next three years he’s going to be in serious trouble in a primary.
One person Graham doesn’t have to worry about too much as a potential challenger though is Mark Sanford. Graham leads the former Governor 52-34 in a hypothetical contest, holding an advantage with both moderates and conservatives. It appears that Sanford’s personal indiscretions outweigh Graham’s ideological indiscretions with the Republican electorate- even among GOP voters 46% say there’s no way they’d ever support Sanford for office in the future, compared to just 14% who say they’d be firmly behind him.
Graham trails though in a match up against another of South Carolina’s somewhat notorious Republicans, Joe Wilson of ‘you lie’ fame. Wilson leads Graham 43-41 in a hypothetical contest, winning the conservative voters who dominate Republican primaries in the state by a 52-31 margin.

Looks like a dead man walkin’ in 2012 SC senate election…..
This is good news to me…I do hope Joe Wilson will consider running against Little Lindsey….or anyone else that’s a real conservative.
Just heard Sen. Jim Webb isn’t going to run….bwahahahaa!
Here’s the link regarding Webb not running for reelection ~

For anyone interested.
I’m getting a kick out of it myself.
Well… he has support from RINOs and some Democrats…. looks like another Mur-COKE-ski in the making… He’ll just run as an independent.

The unpatriot!!!
Please SC do not fall for the nonsense he will spread before election, we need this RINO out, remember AZ had their chance and they fell for McCain’s garbage don’t fall for his.
If they want a more conservative candidate then they need to make it happen. It’s that simple. Vote the RINOs out!
You can be sure this SC girl will NEVER vote for Lindsay again. I do like the idea of Joe Wilson, though. Wonder who else might be stirring the waters??
Take a hike Graham, everybody is wise to your game. You will fare much better in the other party.
Get rid of this traitorous queer. I thought SC was smack in the middle of the bible belt? Think of all those poor little boys this freak has abused in the DC sex trafficking ring. You can join him in hell if you re-elect this predator traitor.
