The perfect example of this was the juxtaposition of how Graham grilled Supreme Court nominee Sonia Sotomayor better than anyone else did and yet voted yes on her confirmation.
The South Carolina Republicans are souring on Graham. CNN reported:
The Lexington County Republican Party in South Carolina voted late Monday to censure Sen. Lindsey Graham for his positions on several controversial issues, including his recent support for a compromise on cap-and-trade legislation.Among the reasons Graham was censured...
The Lexington GOP is now the second county party organization in a matter of months to censure Graham after Charleston County leaders approved a similar resolution in November. But unlike Charleston County, Lexington is one of the most conservative counties in South Carolina and is considered a bellwether of Republican sentiment in the state.
1.) Illegal immigration
2.) Cap & Trade
3.) Supporting the 2008 Financial bailout

Advice to Graham.... Get in line behind that other South Carolina senator, Jim DeMint and start taking lessons from him. DeMint may be the best Senator in Washington.
The bad news? Graham won't be up for re-election for a while. He was re-elected in 2008 but a malleable as he seems to be, perhaps he'll get in line when he fears conservative anger more than he desires liberal acceptance.
