“He'll call me sometimes on the way to the airport and say, 'I'm getting ready to go to Iraq or Afghanistan,' or something like that,”

Obviously, he wanted that to be seen.

Not that we’re surprised, mind you.

Sonia Sotomayor, of New York, to be an Associate Justice of the Supreme Court of the United States  →  Graham (R-SC), Yea

Elena Kagan, of Massachusetts, to be an Associate Justice of the Supreme Court of the United States  →  Graham (R-SC), Yea



I will vote for whichever of the other candidates -- in the first debate -- walks over, grabs him and throws his ass out of the building ..

I think Lindsey’s “eye-roll” is due to Rand wearing a red tie with a blue shirt and green jacket - knowing that a floral-pattern tie would do the trick....

Will McCain move into the White House if Graham wins? How can they be apart? But, my response to Graham runnng: so what, no one cares.

Jeb needs Graham to peel away the “That’s MY Senator!” votes in the SC primary to lower the winning percentage for him. Just like he needs Kasich to peel off the “That’s MY Gov!” votes in Ohio and Huckabee to peel off the “He’s Godlier than the rest!” Christian fundamentalist votes in all states.

The game is rigged.
