Lindsey Graham Gets A Primary Challenger

I'm sure like most of you, I was shocked to find out that Lindsey Graham is technically a Republican. Who knew? Anyway, he's not going to walk to the GOP nomination without having to run against someone.

Let me tell you everything I know about this challenger...her name is Nancy Mace and she's running against Lindsey Graham.

Based on that information, I endorse Nancy Mace*

Mace is the first woman to graduate from The Citadel, a military college in the Palmetto State. She is also a wife, mother and small business owner from Goose Creek, S.C. According to her campaign website, she is the proud daughter of retired Army Brigadier Gen. Emory Mace.

“I believe we need a credible candidate who can challenge Graham. Someone who can bring together the liberty movement, the tea party, those who covet our Second Amendment rights and the right to life, those who want to see greater economic freedom and prosperity brought to our nation through individual liberty and the free market,” Mace previously told TheLibertyPaper.org.

Beating Graham is going to be tough. He's raised a TON of money and for whatever reason, voters in South Carolina seem to like him. When Bruce Carroll, aka "Gay Patriot" decided not to run he said Graham had a very strong constituent service program. That goes a long way in some places. Remember, we view these races through a national prism but they are really local races and factors most of us are unfamiliar with are often at play.

Forget about Enzi/Cheney...Mace/Graham is the primary to fight and win.

Here's her website. An official announcement of her run will be made tomorrow.

*You know, unless someone better comes along.
