Graham Taking Heat in South CarolinaAs Hugh Hewitt remarked on the show yesterday, Lindsay Graham was something of a rising star in the party, having ascended to the Senate after doing a marvelous job in 1999 as one of the House managers of the impeachment proceedings.
Not any longer. Seduced by the media, he has fallen out of touch with South Carolina.
“The calls won’t quit, and they’re almost all against Lindsey,” state Republican Party chairman Katon Dawson said.
Dawson counted more than 900 phone calls to party headquarters in 36 hours — mostly from people who helped elevate Graham from the House to the Senate in 2002.
Graham unleashed this anger Monday night, when, as part of a bipartisan group of senators, he announced a last-minute compromise to end the Senate’s filibuster crisis.Why is it that whether a Democrat or Republican gets national (i.e., presidential) aspirations, they all move to the left?
