[QUOTE="simme, post: 1653103, member: 40418"] An interesting story. In South Carolina, one of the US senators is Lindsey Graham. Republican. He was in the US House for several years then in the Senate for many more. Definitely a career politician. He had a somewhat competitive challenger this year. In prior years, that has not been the case. Several years ago, no one had filed with the Democrat party to oppose him. Seemed to not be worth the effort due to how the state voted. A republican who could not have been successful in a Republican primary decided that he would run as a Democrat. He thought Graham was not conservative enough and this would be his best plan to run against him. He filed as the only candidate on the Democratic primary. Automatic winner of the primary. Very conservative Republican. Eventually the Democratic party figured out what was going on and then urged people to vote for the Republican candidate - Lindsey Graham. Graham won by a landslide. Never heard of this before or since. I agree that voting strictly by party might not be what it seems. Better look carefully at the candidates. [/QUOTE]
