Carolina Politics Online

Dr. Walter “Buddy” Witherspoon, a Lexington County orthodontist and Republican National committeeman, said he will challenge U.S. Sen. Lindsey Graham in next year’s Republican primary.

Witherspoon said he is a constitutional purist, who believes the United States needs to immediately stem illegal immigration. He traveled the state Tuesday, continuing today, to officially kick off his candidacy.

“I see a great deal of unrest around South Carolina,” Witherspoon said of why he decided to run.

“We’ve got to maintain what that document (the U.S. Constitution) stands for.”

The State

Good luck to Witherspoon.  Lindsey Graham has simply become part of the Washington crowd now.  He has snubbed the people of our state that he is supposed to be representing and I hope someone can take him down next year.
