Washington (CNN) -- South Carolina Sen. Lindsey Graham is getting encouragement from a close colleague and friend, Sen. John McCain, to run for President.

"I think he is looking at it, and I am strongly encouraging him to take a look at it," McCain, an Arizona Republican, told ABC News in a story published Monday. "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."

Graham floated the possibility of a run in an interview with the Weekly Standard last month, telling the magazine he'd be interested in running to guide the conversation on national security.

Is this some sort of establishment conspiracy to make Jeb Bush look decent by comparison?

At the risk of having my post deleted or being put on a temporary ban, here is my opinion on a Graham presidential run

No f***ing way in hell!

Oh boy... Graham, Bush and now Carly Fiorina are being pushed as nominees. The media are doing there best to promote the most surefire losers on the RNC.

Apparently they want Grahamnesty to serve the same function for Jeb as Huntsman did for Romney. (Ie. keep the establishment candidate from being the most liberal candidate on the stage.)

I agree!

However, if he gives up his seat to run, I am ok with that.

I highly doubt he’d get past the primary...

But.. it is the GOPe we are talking about.

No. It's some sort of establishment conspiracy to deny the South Carolina primary to Ted Cruz.

Coming out of Iowa and New Hampshire, South Carolina is Cruz's first chance to win decisively and emerge from the herd.

McCain is about heading Cruz off at the pass.

anyone McCain recommends is immediately subject to far more intensive scrutiny here than otherwise would have been the case.
when is the good senator McC going to retire, anyway!?

How cute.

A mutual admiration club of two.

Must be fun living in such isolated splendor.

I’d day he’s done a complete 180 on this issue. Guess the stuffed envelopes helped him change his opinion...
