Because, you know, Bright, Mace and Cash weren't enough already, we potentially have a fourth person looking to challenge South Carolina's Lindsey Graham:
Liberal U.S. Sen. Lindsey Graham (RINO-S.C.) is getting another challenger but its not one of the big name fiscal conservatives being courted by national limited government groups.
Orangeburg, S.C. attorney Bill Connor who ran for lieutenant governor in 2010 and SCGOP chairman in 2011 (unsuccessfully on both occasions) is reportedly jumping into the race in the next few days...
Connor may be uniquely able to take Graham on and undercut his main base of support, the military/veteran block, and give Graham serious trouble on foreign policy matters in debate, something the other candidates lack the credentials and experience to do, Browder writes.
The race is crowded enough as it is. Does this really help? I mean, if you get down to it, a lot of attention on the challengers seems to be on Bright and Mace. Bright with him being a state Senator, getting the RLC's nod, and Mace being a female candidate and, behind Bright, being probably the most vocal anti-Graham of the challengers. Just really hoping all of these challengers can siphon away from Graham's constituents rather than each other's. Let's be honest: Graham has that war chest and the donors to back him. Hopefully they all target him, and as of now, that seems to be what they're doing.
