[Lindsey] Graham floats 2016 White House bid

South Carolina Sen. Lindsey Graham (R) says he could be a presidential candidate in 2016.

The outspoken two-term Senator, known as a foreign policy hawk, told the Weekly Standard that if the hawks aren't well-represented when the 2016 fields begin to solidify, he might throw his hat into the ring. ...

When the Weekly Standard's Stephen F. Hayes asked Graham if he'd back a run by Sen. Marco Rubio, he took a shot at the Florida Republican whom he worked with on the Senate immigration bill.

"He's a good guy, but after doing immigration with him - we don't need another young guy not quite ready," Graham said of Rubio. "He's no Obama by any means, but he's so afraid of the right, and I've let that go."

McCain said in the piece that he encouraged Graham to give a presidential run a "look," while also lauding potential candidates like Rubio, former Gov. Jeb Bush (Fla.), Gov. Chris Christie (N.J.) and Sen. Ted Cruz (Texas).

As the British admiral said when two of his battleships collided while executing a fleet maneuver: “Good . . . God!”

He won’t carry his home area in SC. The lower part of the state, the lib areas like Charleston, etc. will vote for him but the area he came from will not

Politicians get rich when they run for President.

Lindsey Graham will get rich and buy power with other Republicans.

It’s the reason they are all so desperate to stay in office forever - the free money.

"He's no Obama by any means, but he's so afraid of the right, and I've let that go."

And Goober actually thinks that this "right" he is so "unafraid" of will be working and voting for him?

Any idiot can run for office and just about anyone if they are a big enough, smooth enough, Christ hating enough, liar can get elected president, just look at the last four or five.
