While most of the talk in the news has been at the possibility of Democrats losing seats in the House and Senate in the midterm elections of 2010, Republicans have not been encased in this glass bubble of political immunity (though that's not what most analysts would have us believe)
Along with a further discussion of his politics, a recent New York Times article depicts the impending fall of Senator Lindsey Graham (R - SC). Apparently his more progressive stances have won him a censure by his own party. According to the article:
The executive committee of the Charleston County Republican Party voted unanimously on Monday to rebuke Mr. Graham “for many of the positions he has taken that do not represent the wishes of the people of South Carolina, such as: passing a ‘cap and trade’ energy bill, bailing out banks and granting amnesty for illegal aliens.”
Perhaps Republicans should be just as scared as Democrats by the winds of change.
Do you think this has more to do with Republican - Democrat battles or with the pile of failed political careers that change inevitably leaves behind? Please feel free to leave comments at the front desk.
