Bob Conley

[itshappening]

the 'Ron Paul Democrat' is 9 points behind Senator Graham in South Carolina :eek: :eek:

this is extraordinary when you consider the resources and the fact that Graham is an incumbent.

we need to support Bob's efforts!!

I wonder if Bob can get help from the DNC, they can unseat Graham it would be a massive coup?! or maybe they won't help him, that would tell us a lot HUH?

Is Lieberman's Pal Vulnerable?
Posted by Christopher Manion at 11:33 AM

Rasmussen says that Lindsey Graham is only nine points ahead of Democrat senate nominee Bob Conley in South Carolina.

If he wins, Conley will be the most cogent and critical opponent of the warfare state in the Senate. Like most Americans, he opposes the bipartisan corruption the Paulson personifies and perpetuates. And he will be the Democrat most unlikely to be Joe Lieberman's new best friend.

The nine-point margin is so amazingly small when you take into account the fact that Conley has virtually no funds. He has stayed competitive by tapping into a widespread grass roots sentiment -- to put it bluntly, they are just plain sick of Lindsey Graham.

Graham’s Lead Slips To Single Digits
By fitsnews • on September 22, 2008

Despite enjoying the most lopsided financial advantage we’ve ever seen in a race at this level (a $4 million war chest to his opponents’ $983), U.S. Senator Lindsey Graham leads political unknown Bob Conley by just nine points, according to a Rasmussen poll conducted last week.

Graham gets 50% of the vote (including just 76% of the GOP vote) compared to Conley’s 41% - a huge shift from previous polling that showed Graham enjoying a 20-point lead against the virtually unknown commercial pilot.

Conley, who has angered many Democrats by adopting fiscally-conservative positions on spending and limited government, has somehow managed to cut Graham’s lead in half over the past three months, despite having no money and virtually zero name ID across the state.

“If those numbers are accurate, then the anti-Republican, anti-incumbent sentiment is something that Republicans in less red parts of the country should certainly start taking notice of,” said Winthrop University political scientist Scott Huffmon, who had heard of the results of the poll but had yet to examine its methodology.

“All things being equal, somebody with $4 million should be further ahead,” Huffmon said, noting that he wanted to check the poll’s sampling of voters to determine whether or not party affiliation and other factors had been properly weighted.

Conley, who has built his support by criss-crossing the state and speaking to both Republican and Democratic audiences, was thrilled with the results.

“These numbers indicate what we knew when we started this race, which is that the people of South Carolina are upset with the way things are going in Washington, and they’re particularly upset with Lindsey Olin Graham,” Conley said. “It’s time for a change and a positive direction.”

Conley added that the infusion of even a relatively small amount of cash into his campaign could position Democrats for a dramatic upset.

“This is a completely volunteer, completely grassroots organization,” he said. “If we had half a million in the bank tomorrow, we’d be smoking.”

Incidentally, we thought it would be interesting to compare these candidates’ war chests with their current polling support, and we discovered that based on their most recent filings, Conley has $30 for every percentage point of support he’s earned compared to Graham, who has $80,000 for each percentage point of support that he’s getting.

I think we should organize something to contact the DNC en masse and DEMAND that they support Conley, they have literally millions and a shot at unseating Graham, a chief spokesman for the McCain campaign.

Please contact the Democrat Senatorial Campaign Committee:

I seem to recall someone on these forums making this prediction... someone... quite a few months ago, saying that Conley was the closet RP candidate with an actual chance...

Who might that have been...

Let's not get too excited now. He is no Ron Paul! Hah. :)

But he would be a strong Ron Paul ally in the Senate.
Getting rid of Lindsey and adding Bob is a +2 out of the 100 senators.
