Republicans on Capitol Hill weighed in on news that Mitt Romney might be exploring a possible third bid for the White House, but it was Arizona Sen. John McCain who might have drawn the most laughs of the day in talking about the potential presidential aspirations of his best friend Sen. Lindsey Graham.
McCain said Romney was dedicated to serving the country and was a fine and decent American with a reservoir of support and called himself "a great admirer of Mitt Romney's", but he said he was pushing Graham to run.
"My illegitimate son Lindsey Graham is exploring that option," the two-time presidential candidate said, prompting laughter from reporters during a press conference on the prison at Guantanamo Bay.
"So I am strongly encouraging Sen. Lindsey Graham, particularly with the world the way it is today. No one understands the world today in the way that Lindsey Graham does, in my view."
Romney recently met with prospective donors, has spent time talking with former operatives and supporters and is planning a trip to the upcoming Republican National Committee meeting in California this week, signs that he could decide to enter the fray for a third time....

Which 2 conservatives?
My dream ticket would be Walker/Cruz; but the reverse would be ok with me also.

Man. I hope a whole passel of bullies just kicked young Lindseys ass regularly when he was a kid.
Love to see some patriotic old grandma do such today.
I’d love to see Palin and Cruz....

I love Sarah and I’d vote for her in a heatbeat. But, I think she knows that the liberal media has so demonized her that she is “damaged goods” politically. I think that’s why she did not run against Begich in 2014 for the Senate seat in Alaska. She owns a home in Arizona; maybe she’ll run against Juan McCain.
My choice: Any two of these candidates in any order on the Ticket:
Sen. Ted Cruz (TX)
Gov. Susana Martinez (NM)
Gov. Sarah Palin (AK)
Gov. Scott Walker (WI)
Gov. Bobby Jindal (LA)
Susana Martinez will neuter the DemocRAT’S “War on Women” and get a huge chunk of the Latino/Latina vote. I’m sure some here on FR will disqualify her because she had a puppy named Rockefeller when she was 9 years and, and they’ll swear she’s a closet RINO.
