South Carolina Senator Lindsey Graham is continuing his quest to broaden the base of the Republican party by appealing to moderates and independents.
In so doing, he is openly challenging the conservative base of the party, and talk shows hosts, including Rush Limbaugh, Sean Hannity, and Glenn Beck.
Graham is to be commended for understanding that the conservative base of the party is not a winning combination, and that the Republicans must return to the center to have a chance to grow.
