Lindsay Graham support collapses in South Carolina (amongst Republicans AND independents).
Re: Graham Crumbles for Nothing Jennifer Rubin - 11.15.2009 - 1:34 PM When Lindsay Graham decided to support cap-and-trade — a position not even some moderate Democrats can stomach — I observed that this was not only bad policy but also bad politics.

One Foot in Eden So, not to be a massive dork or anything, but this honestly may be the best book I've ever read. It takes place in a teeny tiny town in Upstate South Carolina.
