Love the one you’re with
Dems love Lindsey:
Robert Botsch, a University of South Carolina-Aiken professor, said if Graham has a problem it’s likely to be in the GOP primary with its hard-core conservative base.The general election is safe for Graham, Botsch maintains. “He is the closest thing we’ve had to a Democratic senator in a long time,” Botsch noted.
Even Democrats agree.
Last year, Joe Erwin of Greenville, immediate past chairman of the S.C. Democratic Party, was asked what Democrat might challenge Graham in 2008. Erwin doubted anyone would.
“We already have our best Democrat up there in Lindsey,” Erwin quipped.
