Republicans on Capitol Hill weighed in on news that Mitt Romney might be exploring a possible third bid for the White House, but it was Arizona Sen. John McCain who might have drawn the most laughs of the day in talking about the potential presidential aspirations of his best friend Sen. Lindsey Graham.
McCain said Romney was dedicated to serving the country and was a fine and decent American with a reservoir of support and called himself "a great admirer of Mitt Romney's", but he said he was pushing Graham to run.
"My illegitimate son Lindsey Graham is exploring that option," the two-time presidential candidate said, prompting laughter from reporters during a press conference on the prison at Guantanamo Bay.
"So I am strongly encouraging Sen. Lindsey Graham, particularly with the world the way it is today. No one understands the world today in the way that Lindsey Graham does, in my view."
Romney recently met with prospective donors, has spent time talking with former operatives and supporters and is planning a trip to the upcoming Republican National Committee meeting in California this week, signs that he could decide to enter the fray for a third time....

Just too funny. McCain must of thought it was April 1.
Ding and Dong, the Bell Twins
Their own best audience for their comedy show
Might get him out of the Senate and clear the way for someone rational :)
Yes, run! We need to split the establishment vote this time so that we can win the general election! We can’t win that with a RINO; the last 2 proved that. However the establishment keeps running just one candidate and our votes get split. Time to change the situation.
GAY!
“BARF!! BAAARRFFF!!!!!”
Holy cr@p, I’m getting too old for this....!!!
STFU McCain
Lindsey, Jeb, Chris, Mitt, Marco, et al, all running to the right as conservatives, several are going to get trampled.
That could be hugh and series.
O the hugh manatee!
This is a clear strategy by the GOPe to divide and conquer...McCain wants to crush the whacko birds and is doing just that in AZ
McCain, Romney, the next Bush in line, Rubio, Graham, and Christie are all completely unacceptable.
Given McCain's history, that's a REALLY unfortunate choice of words.
Lindsey would take the SC primary, another scene of bad choices, out of contention.
Butt Baby?
Good point. I hope the Republican side has a bunch of RINOs running and dividing the GOPe vote, while only 2 conservatives run and both say that they’ll be running as a ticket. Primary voters can decide who’s on top of the ticket and who’s in the veep slot. Either way, there’ll be a unified conservative option.
The only question is: Which 2 conservatives?
I’d love to see Palin and Cruz, but there are a number of other options that will be worthy of my enthusiatic vote.
Zero point zero chance I’ll hold my nose and vote for some progressive GOPe open borders beige loser.
McCain's mini me, Senator Flake (yep, that his name!) ran as a conservative. Just another liar to join the many already there in the Senate.He might be jealous that someone else is considered McCain's son. He's already got a lower score than McCain at Conservative Review.
Illegitimate son? More like two-legged hemorrhoid.
Yes... run for president...as a centrist Democrat...the more Rinos... the better chance conservatives win.
Rubio is okay in my book...
It is sad that this is the best that you have to offer!!!!
