Sen. John McCain is prodding one of his closest allies in the Senate to consider a run for the White House – Sen. Lindsey Graham.
“I think he is looking at it, and I am strongly encouraging him to take a look at it,” McCain, R-Ariz., told ABC News. “I know of no one who is better versed and more important on national security policy and defense than Lindsey Graham, and I don’t think these challenges to our security are going away.”
“He is eminently qualified,” McCain added.
In an interview with The Weekly Standard last month, Graham, R-S.C., said he might consider a presidential bid after this year’s midterm elections if other candidates aren’t promoting an aggressive foreign policy agenda.
“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.
On CNN's State of the Union Sunday, Graham said running for president is "the hardest thing one could ever do. You go through personal hell. You have got to raise a ton of money. I'm nowhere near there."(continued)

I’m with you.
Funny as that is, Juan, you are still the biggest joke in Government.
Is he really gay? I’ve always thought he look gay
If Graham runs, he won't be there to hurt Bush. He'll do it because someone will pay him to savage a real conservative candidate. Lindsay would and will drop out before he hurt Bush.... but he'd have plenty of time to try to sabotage during the debates before that.
A reminder that Lindsay voted YES on Elena Kagan for SCOTUS
That would help split the RINO vote.
DC lobbyists probably have so many blackmail files on the guy they need separate buildings to store them in—maybe that is why NSA needed a new HQ in Utah.
Mute buttons on TV were invented for this clown.
The southern, gay John Huntsman?
Lindsey, president?
Maybe a towel boy at a male bath house.
I think mccain is just being a good pal and offering to support someone in their presidental run just as Lindsay did for John M. in 2008. A mixture of a vanity project and a bucket list. Mccain and daughter Meagan know this to be a trial balloon that will never fully inflate.
As I posted on a similar thread, be care full what we wish for. Graham would easily win the early SC Presidential Primary which would make him a serious candidate to win the nomination. Also do not forget that SC has an open primary, which means that Democrats could and would vote for Linda.
Oh dear God, NO!!!
Isn’t it about time for McCain to retire or die off? He’s done enough damage.
Second !!
McCain has done more than enough damage to this country. He helped get Obama elected since he gave into the Communist, just as McCain gave into the Communists at North Vietnam. Incidentally, he parlayed his not leaving Hanoi ahead of time into a notable albeit undeserved political career.
I’m strongly encouraging McIdiot to shut up.
McCain has to be trying to sabotage the GOP. Again.
Simply a waste of Republican campaign money!
*sigh*...yes you are all correct; that thought dawned on me the second after I hit the post button.
