Challengers to South Carolina Senator Are Lining Up on the Right

A small group called Carolina Conservatives United, one of dozens organized loosely under the flag of limited government, low taxes and strict adherence to the Constitution, sent out images last week of a milk carton bearing Mr. Graham’s face and asked Gov. Nikki R. Haley to issue the state’s version of an Amber Alert to find its missing senator.

“Lindsey Graham has not been seen in the state of South Carolina for most of the last two years,” said Bruce Carroll, the chairman of the group.

Conservatives in South Carolina are eager to oust Mr. Graham, who has enraged the far right for, among other things, reaching across the aisle on immigration and supporting President Obama’s nominations for the Supreme Court. Tea Party supporters called him a community organizer for the Muslim Brotherhood when, instead of heading home for the Congressional break this month, he went to Egypt at the request of the president.

So far, three people have stepped forward to challenge Mr. Graham in the June primary: State Senator Lee Bright; Richard Cash, a former Congressional candidate; and Nancy Mace, the first woman to graduate from the Citadel and, at the moment, the challenger whose political star is rising the fastest.

Ms. Mace, the owner of a public relations firm in Charleston, prides herself on her social media skills. She has never run for office, but her story is familiar to many here. For a time, she became the face of gender integration when she graduated from the Citadel in 1999, an experience she followed with a 2001 book, “In the Company of Men: A Woman at the Citadel.”

Toughing it out at the formerly all-male military college makes her a perfect candidate for voters seeking a true conservative, she said.

Lee Bright is the best chance to defeat Graham with lots of support. Nancy Mace has great credentials as well, but I think Bright may have a better chance

anyone will be better than McCain's little sister..

There are moves in both AZ and SC to recall them (McCain and Graham) for not upholding the values or concerns of the voters in their states. Hell, they go to Egypt to consort with terrorists instead of going home during recess to talk in town hall meetings (like everyone else) to the voters who put them there!

They care little what the voters think when there are bigger fish to fry, with more money to offer, like the special interest groups and the war machine corporations who fund and buy the gov't thru flooding the voting process and media with bribes....er uh...campaign donations!

That process has just started for the 2014 elections and Graham already has a war chest of over $5Million to boast of from special interest groups. Very little actually comes from the voters in his state!

Just like with the Ron Paul presidential bid, if you don't sell out to the special interests, or the 2 party system as a whole, their media won't let you play in the game!
