On Thursday, I had the pleasure of interviewing Senator Lindsey Graham (R-SC) at the Fourth Estate Dinner, hosted by the National Press Club. On Saturday morning, I briefly interviewed Ken Buck, the Republican Senatorial nominee for Colorado at a luncheon hosted by the GW College Republicans.

Regarding President Obama's recent town hall held at GW and its effect on the November general election:
“Obviously, it is an effort by the President to energize the youth vote,” Graham said. Graham attributed the youth vote to Obama’s victory in 2008. He also said that the youth have become “disillusioned” by the agenda of the Democratic Party, the “Obama spending machine,” and the expansion of government. As a result, Graham said, the youth are having “second thoughts” on the Democratic agenda pushed by the President.
On the other hand, Buck spoke positively on Obama’s town halls, saying, “Anytime President Obama opens his mouth, Republicans gain votes.” Buck welcomed Obama to Colorado in hopes of lowering his credibility and approval rating.
Regarding the performance of Christine O'Donnell, Delaware's Republican nominee for the Senate, in a debate last Tuesday and what Delaware voters are looking for in their next senator:“Obviously, it is an effort by the President to energize the youth vote,” Graham said. Graham attributed the youth vote to Obama’s victory in 2008. He also said that the youth have become “disillusioned” by the agenda of the Democratic Party, the “Obama spending machine,” and the expansion of government.

Graham admitted, “Delaware is a blue [liberal] state... So she faces an uphill battle." Graham stated his belief that the key issues of her campaign, limited government and lower taxes, will “resonate with voters." Graham claimed that because O’Donnell is bringing awareness to “out of control government and [plans to] institute checks and balances,” she will ultimately resonate with voters of Delaware.
Buck claimed that Delaware voters are looking for “someone who isn’t a rubber stamp for the Obama administration and the policies of [Senator] Harry Reid and [House Speaker] Nancy Pelosi." Yet, Buck claimed Delaware voters are looking for someone who will represent their values with an “independent voice." Because of this, O’Donnell, the Republican candidate, “stands a much better chance than the Democrat," he said.
