Meet Jaime Harrison who is challenging Lindsey Graham!

7. But isn't that Obama all over again?

Barrack won a senate seat with no previous elective experience.

Of course, he wasn't running for office in South Carolina. And he was not running against an incumbent -- actually, his opponent was a narrow minded extremist idiot and moron, a worthless jackass who actually and publicly disowned his own daughter when she came out as gay.

OK. Barrack was lucky. He would have been running against a very popular, handsome white man who had become a force in local (Chicago) GOP politics. But the guy -- Ryan, his name was -- had to drop out of the race and politics altogether when it came to light that his wife (Startrek Voyager's own "7 of 9", Jeri Ryan) divorced him because, among other things, he took her to sex clubs and tried several times (unsuccessfully) to get her to, ahem, perform on stage with others.

Seriously. He did that. The mother of his children. Jesus, these people!

Anyway, the GOP had no candidate so they asked Alan Keyes, the above referenced asshole, to run. Keyes had publicly lambasted Hillary Clinton for running for senator in New York when she was not a citizen of that state. How sickening is it, he asked, that this is allowed to happen? Keyes is from Maryland. Ran against Obama in Illinois. Didn't even flinch at the opportunity. Like I said, an asshole.
