Two New Polls Show Graham Tanking

“A chunk of the GOP has always detested him, but in the last month a damn has broken,” said the consultant, who was granted anonymity to discuss the impact of two recent polls that were conducted in South Carolina (one allegedly by Graham’s own advisors). “More Republicans now oppose Sen. Graham than support him. Independents are also deserting him in huge numbers.”

Even more troubling for Graham is there doesn’t seem to be a way out of the box. In fact, both polls reportedly showed that the more the national liberal establishment and local environmentalists rally to Graham’s defense, the worse things get for him. That has sparked a heated debate within Graham’s camp as to how to best manage the situation.

The only saving grace for Graham is that he isn't up for re-election until 2014.

1. How about coming out of the closet finally?

If he's going to tank maybe it's time to stand up and be counted. Talk about a Hail Mary Pass. Even if it can't work he would have changed the face of the republican party forever.

2. He'll never do it.

As long as it is just rumor, a lot of SC will ignore it. However, with the Teapotters around, all bets are off on what they will say.

3. These days, half-crazy just doesn't cut it for the Repugs.

They want the full Monty. Baying at the full moon, spit in yer eyes nutzoid routine.

4. Crap. He's been a handy ace in the hole.
