the last democrat from south carolina was about a couple of decades back, when i was covering fritz hollinglina, so does a democrat have a chance in winning a statewide election right now? guest: that is a great question. i think the last time a democrat won statewide was 2006. it is a republican state reliably. and the president carried by 14 points in 2016. senator lindsey graham has easily won reelection a couple times, but polls show the race tied. two polls came out in september, saying the race was tied at 48-48. cbs news has a poll that has lindsey graham up by one point. it is a close race, closer than people expected. and because it is close, we are getting intense campaigning from both sides, at least on the tv airwaves here. host: you have reported that toie harrison is going outspend lindsey graham 7-1 on the airwaves, but what is causing the disparity considering that lindsey graham is the incumbent, and also chair of the senate judiciary committee? guest: he is a high profile senator. andved here in november everybody knew he was. you see him on the cable networks all the time
