Conservative foes of Sen.

Several South Carolina political observers said in interviews that Graham would probably emerge unscathed if he supports Obama in striking Syria, despite the president’s unpopularity in the state and distrust of his proposal.

This is Politico, the establishment mouthpiece.

They're scared, otherwise they wouldn't have put this piece together. Notice who they are pulling quotes from. This may as well have come from the Graham campaign.

Israel firster Lindsey Graham is neck in neck with John McCain for the title of ultimate whore for AIPAC.

My biggest fear is that the SC voters will put Graham back into office thinking he is "influential" (which he is, but in the wrong way).

I agree. It is pointless and hopeless... almost.
