Research 2000 for Daily Kos (9/22-24, likely voters):
Bob Conley (D): 42
Lindsey Graham (R-inc): 51
(MoE: ±4%)
A few days ago I called your attention to Rasmussen’s poll of South Carolina, showing Ron Paul-lovin’ paleo-con “Democrat” Bob Conley within 9 points of Lindsey Graham, as an example of their having gone off the deep end this week.
Well, we may actually have a live one here, as R2K shows a similar 9-point margin. Looks like South Carolinians are feeling pretty tepid about Graham. Sigh… if only a real candidate had decided to jump in for the Dems. However, I have to wonder if Conley is pulling a fair number of votes from the looney-tunes right (which doesn’t like Graham for his occasional flourishes of bipartisanship and rumors about his personal life), which a more normal Dem wouldn’t. R2K has McCain up in SC by a more believable 52-39 (Rasmussen had the presidential race at 51-45).
They had it a 14 point race.

Lindsey Graham (R) 54%
Bob Conley (D) 40%
I tend to believe SUSA and R2K on this race.
I think this is exactly what is happening.
Democrats aren’t paying attention to Conley, they will vote fore him because he has a D next to his name.
This gives him a mid to upper 30’s base and as the people on the far right hear about him, they like him more than they like Graham, which kinda scares me.
My big hope here, is that Conley can get the ball rolling these last 39 days and make the Republicans play some defense here. A stronger showing by Conley may also help inpact down ballot races like Ketner and Miller.
…I’ll glady take a looney tunes Democrat.
Conley not only has immigration now as an issue.
Graham came out strongly for the bailout of billionare bankers.
Conley will be jumping all over that.
The folks in South Carolina are against it big time.
Graham can only give his voters the finger so many times before they return the favor.
Can’t see this one myself. Not when Graham is above 50% but I suppose you never know. Question is who would he caucus with? Maybe he a Tester could set up a new group!
let’s all just take a second out of our day to laugh at the Republicans this election cycle. They will not gain a single Senate seat again and we will be taking at least 5 if not 8. Hahahahahahahaha. Imagine if this bozo gets elected.
He wouldnt be able to Coburn everything would he? He could really be a huge pain the ass I spose with the power of a Senator but hmmmmmm….
Whatever, hahahahahahaha.
