This is a good and important question.
First, who is NOT going to challenge him? Probably no sitting Congressman is going to risk his seat on a venture like that. Also, the Governor is more likely to want to serve out his term, simply because he sees it as a contract with the citizens of the state. So, we probably need to look outside the box for prospects.
On the Republican side: Of course, most Republicans would avoid shooting down a "family member", but there might be a few who would consider it: Former Governor David Beasley appears to be looking for something to do. Carroll Campbell's son Mike took a shot at Lt. Gov. last year, he'd probably think about it. Or someone holding a ceremonial position like Lt. Gov. Andre Bauer is certainly a possibility. Then, maybe someone like Judge John Napier, who served one term in the U.S. House might still have some politics in his blood. Would he have to resign his judgeship to run? If so, that might be a dealbreaker. And then, you've got former Lt. Gov. Bob Peeler sitting around doing nothing. So, he's probably game for anything.
You might also consider old-line Democrats: Ken Holland, who served in the House back in the '70's and '80's might be conservative enough to merit attention. He talked about entering the Democratic primary for governor in 2006, but had trouble raising money.
OK, so those are some people who would probably be willing to run, if you dangled it in front of them. Now, it's up to you South Carolinians to decide which one best fits your values. Talk to them, see what they're about. See who fits your needs. But get it done! February is a few months away, and Graham needs to go!
