Yep. If, for some reason, the GOP takes back the Senate, Graham is going to jump ship.

As if he hasn't already.

Also don't rule out a deal on Cap N' Tax.

How come Pelosi says she “knows with certainty” that the Dems will keep control of the House in November?? Did they already finish doing their backroom deals?

If the Vice President directed Graham to have a meeting with him, I don't think that Graham can say no. That would be like one of us saying no to our Vice President of our company. Call the secretary and say “Sorry but I don't think I will be coming to the meeting today...”. We would not be in the job very much longer. Does Graham have the choice to say no to the Vice President? I would say that would be bold and not a good idea. I guess the Vice President could not fire Graham but there has to be some sort of punishment for disobeying the Vice President. I would love to say “XO I am not coming to the meeting you called me too”. I would be up on changes in two seconds or at least get a horrible evaluation my next look.I would not last three seconds in politics. I could never be disrespectful to senior people. How can these politicians do this???? I guess being in the military for 23 years does not allow for this type of thing...lol.

I suggest the GOP preempt and kick LG’s sorry butt out of the party. He is symbolic and functionally what is wrong with the GOP - smooshy/political/intellectually impaired

Actually, Graham is more of a republican spy than anything else. Perhaps these little meetings are just drops.

"Joe Biden, for all of his gaffes and foibles, is still one smart political operative. He rode the train home to Delaware with Arlen Specter on his way home to Pennsylvania every single weekend for years and is the one that most folks believe orchestrated Arlen's party switch."

Yep, that Biden is one smooth operator! That party switch for Snarlin' Arlen worked out so well, didn't it? Maybe this will be enough for SC voters to send this fruitcake home for good and we can finally be shed of Lindsey Grahamnesty. Go Plugs, go!

10 to 1 it has something to do with CO2 Cap and Tax. Cap and Tax is not dead. We need a lot more sunshine in politics. No more “Back Room Deals”. No more “privatize the profit, socialize the loses”.

But if Lindsey Graham goes Dem, the Sunday morning talk shows would have to find a new Republican to invite. Can’t be John McCain ALL the time.

I wonder what Graham’s wife and children think about all this . . .

Lindsey isn’t a RINO. He’s a commie ‘RAT mole posing as a Republican. McCain is his best buddy. McCain doesn’t hang with Republicans.

Can’t you South Carolina people get that jackass out of the Senate?

I’d be shocked if Lindsey changed parties. The special appeal he and McCain have to the MSM is their ongoing willingness to undermine and stab the Republicans in the back. If either went Dim, they’d lose that special appeal.

I expect this meeting was related to Kagan, Cap and Trade and/or amnesty for illegals.

It wouldn’t be the first time Graham has switched sides.....

Maybe the Kagan vote isn’t the bag just yet. Is it possible that some Dems are secretly hinting that they may vote no? Maybe Obama wants some more Republican votes on the confirmation.
