Griffith has two Republican opponents, both well connected with the Tea Party crowd. He’s been shunned by the two most populous Republican parties in his district. 14 months ago the NRSC ran a series of negative ads accusing Griffith of causing his cancer patients pain and suffering for additional profits — that will be hard for Republican voters to forget. Griffith is getting significant bad press in the local media market for reneging on his offer to refund contributions from Democrats and also for leaving the district without representation on key committees … and for various lies he’s told the media.

Right now, I’d put Griffith’s chances of getting out of the GOP primary alive at slightly less than even.

He is already facing 2 primary challengers from the teabagger crowd, and the Democrats have made noises about targeting Griffith big time.

This race is going to be interesting
