Published 3 weeks, 6 days ago
Description
On the September 15, 2026 broadcast of The Charlie James Show on News/Talk 98.9 WORD, host Charlie James hears from local callers regarding the "Write in Ralph" campaign and the potential political consequences of splitting the conservative vote. James provides historical context by recounting Strom Thurmond's historic 1954 write-in campaign, drawing parallels to the current race. Callers express strong, divided opinions: some argue that writing in Ralph Norman sends a necessary message to the establishment GOP, while others warn that doing so risks handing the Senate seat to the Democratic candidate.
