Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-S.C.) says he is not abandoning negotiations on a comprehensive energy and climate bill even as he warns of partisan gridlock following the Democrats' push this week to pass health care reform.
"It's going to make it very difficult to do anything complicated and controversial," Graham told reporters yesterday.
"I'm still committed to trying to roll out a vision of how you can price carbon and make it business-friendly. We're still going to do that. ... But the truth of the matter is, I think you're going to find most of our colleagues around here risk adverse."
Graham's continued role in the climate talks with Sens. John Kerry (D-Mass.) and Joe Lieberman (I-Conn.) is critical for lawmakers trying to maintain momentum on an issue that has largely been kept on the sidelines while President Obama and Democrats focused on health care.
In recent days, Graham warned that immigration reform would be the "first casualty" following the Senate Democrats' efforts to complete the health care bill via a fast-track reconciliation vote. And he is also predicted GOP gains this November. "Republicans will pick up a lot of votes from people who think this is bad for their business, their family, and the process used to pass it was sleazy," Graham said over the weekend.

"If Lindsey Graham flies the coup, this thing is dead," said Kevin Book, managing director with ClearView Energy Partners.
While Graham said he is staying put, his predictions about the Senate mood appear to be spot on -- at least among some moderate Republicans.

Sen. Olympia Snowe (R-Maine) said she would "continue to work" with Democrats on energy and climate change legislation.

What an idiot
Every town has a mid town........ where? What is Hess?
Well, a girl can always dream ;)
I’ve heard he is getting some strong backing from some energy companies which really makes me wonder.
The answer to this is very simple. It is all political theater. If the Dems had needed Republican votes to pass obamacare, they'd have gotten them.
The old “Yeah they’re whores, but they’re OUR whores defense”.
The fear of GOD needs to be put in all of them. Hearken back to the congressional Republicans circa 1994-2006.
It now says “coop” at the source.
This is all about peddling those phony carbon credits as a stock item.
We all realize there are areas where we can not field conservative candidates and to retain the seat will end up with RINO’s BUT!!! We’ve got to make sure we have a majority conservative GOP in order to keep these idiots on the plantation.
The GOP held together for America through health care, for that they deserve credit. We can not allow them to sell us out on Cap n Tax or Immigration.
If your Senator indicates any interest in advancing either of those issues, you need to put the fear of God into them!!
This scam is all about his lobbyist buddies who plan to make a bundle on phony carbon credit scams .
“Has the whole world gone insane?”
No... just the leadership in the US Congress..
Midtown is NYC - Ave. of the Americas. Hess is an oil company. www.hess.com
Justify that one with this:
Kerry, Graham and Lieberman have acknowledged they are working with oil industry officials on a "linked fee" proposal, but they have avoided talk on any specifics of their plan
Phase II of the RAT Trifecta----we got yer Health Care Nationalized (TAXED), now we're gonna get your Energy Use Nationalized (TAXED--AGAIN).
You’ve got the answer 100% correct FRiend. Passage of the 17th Amendment was the final nail in the States coffin. We can bring the dead back to life only by repealing the 17th - but what a fight that will be.
What a maroon is Grahamnesty.
