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).

I’d love to see the Indy candidate, Thomas Ravenel, kick his butt on Nov. 4th.
