Politics: Move over, John McCain and Olympia Snowe. Lindsey Graham of South Carolina is fast becoming the Democrats' favorite Republican as he partners with John Kerry to push cap-and-trade through the Senate.
Earlier this year, eight Republican congressmen made it possible for Waxman-Markey, the 1,400-page job- and economy-killing cap-and-trade legislation, to barely pass the House of Representatives. At the time it seemed dead on arrival in the Senate if it was brought up there this year.
Once again, as with their medical plan, the Democrats seek to better the odds by putting a GOP hood ornament on a Democratic clunker. On cap-and-trade, Olympia Snowe's role will be played by Graham as he partners with Kerry to commit the U.S. to the flawed science and disastrous economics of climate change.

Cue the Grahambots to come and tell us how wonderful “Senator Graham” is.
Two questions: Who is running against Graham? And, how do I contribute to them?
TRAITOR!!!
Graham you are a traitor to the United States and the American people.
Equal disdain for both... Lurch and the Pansy.
That grassroots movement to take back the OP(formerly the GOP) is working well!
Poor McCain has had his maverick tail clipped by is his comming desire to be relected. Now Twinkletoes gets all the “glory.”
I’m telling ya the Dems have compromising pictures of this guy.
Mavericks, well, they dismiss ideology because it would bind them to consistent and principled votes. Arizona Sen. John McCain often displays the muddled and mercurial thinking of a person with no political, intellectual or economic philosophy guiding him.
Now, replace Arizona Sen. John McCain with South Carolina Sen. Lindsey Graham and I think we have it.
is fast becoming the Democrats' favorite Republican
I don’t think the smarmy little worm runs next year.....what about a recall petition?? Can that be done??
I’m sorry....I didn’t see this. I asked about a recall petition in another post. I hope and pray the voters in South Carolina can do this. Heck, I’d move to South Carolina just to sign it....:)
LOL....you may be right otherwise he’s just a sorry, no-count who’d sell his soul to the devil to get favor.
are scumbags wimps? Because Graham is both....
I’d like to see a Andrew Sullivan/”Linsey” Grahman grundge match.
I’d bet on the Brit.
So what show him fudge packing don’t sell us out.
Do use all a favor and do what Specter did, Graham.
