Lindsey Graham Mulling White House Run

The hawkish Republican Sen. Lindsey Graham of South Carolina says he is thinking about running for president in 2016.

In an interview with Stephen Hayes of the Weekly Standard, the senator, running for re-election to the Senate this year, said: “If I get through my general election, if nobody steps up in the presidential mix, if nobody’s out there talking — me and McCain have been talking — I may just jump in to get to make these arguments,” Graham said.

Graham, 59, also dismissed Florida Sen. Marco Rubio, 43, as a presidential candidate, saying he is too young. “He’s a good guy, but after doing immigration with him — we don’t need another young guy not quite ready,” Graham told the outlet. “He’s no Obama by any means, but he’s so afraid of the right, and I’ve let that go.”

Graham’s sidekick, former presidential nominee John McCain, is nudging him to get into the race.

  1. It is Newt Gingrich, Pat Buchanan, Ralph Nader, Al Sharpton, Rick Santorum syndrome.

    People who don’t stand a snowball’s chance in hell of winning but get to wax their little hobbyhorse and get a tagline when they go on the talks that says “Former Presidential Candidate”.

    Command some extra bucks on the speech circuit while “running” for an office they can’t win.

  2. I can’t see or hear his name without Rush’s, “Return to Brokeback Mountain,” ad, playing in my head. “Starring Lindsey Graham and John McCain,” for anyone needing a reminder.
