The newest spoiler to enter the rat race.

Lindsey Graham is running for president because, he says, "the world is falling apart."

And if Americans are looking for a commander-in-chief, the South Carolina senator believes he's it.

Graham, who told CNN last month he's been "more right than wrong on foreign policy," announced his presidential bid in his hometown of Central, South Carolina, on Monday. He hopes that his track record on foreign affairs will give him the advantage in a wide-open primary fight.
:ohno: :ohno:

Lindsey -

There's room in the clown car for you along with Santorum, Huckabee, and a few others.

Sincerely,

America

His 'bachelorhood' is the worst kept secret in the State.

There are some things I like about Graham. In the larger case, he is the typical establishment republican except that he has a major league fetish for the camera. I actually agree with him on many issues, immigration reform, giving the president discretion on cabinet appointees (although I totally disagree with him on giving that same discretion on Supreme Court Justices), and probably agree with him on most economic issues although like most establishment republicans he seems a little too comfortable with the cronyism of the status quo. But his excessive drum beating for war after being one of those that got us in this mess is simply something I can no longer listen too. Additionally, one of the reasons, I vote conservative, even though I may not be that much of one, is that conservatives talk about the constitution as written and intended. Yet so many of them, simply put that aside when looking at issues such as the NSA phone records issues. I have read the 4th amendment many times and while using technicalities you may be able to get around it, the intent of the amendment clearly is to stop the government from doing what it is doing. Yet old Lindsey's answer to that question is "Well I've got nothing to hide". :roll:

He's going to get roasted in the primaries on the immigration issue.

I honestly don't know what he is trying to get out of this. Even being arrogant and self absorbed doesn't explain it. He isn't stupid. He knows he has no chance. Maybe it is truly the stop Rand Paul Express.

I think he believes that people will see him as more qualified, that he will be able to out-fund-raise the other candidates, and that his name-recognition will help him. He's probably the most establishment guy in the race besides Jeb.

While he can certainly win the SC Primary for the senate, he won't win the SC Presidential primary. He might sneak in at third in his home state, but my guess is more likely 4th or 5th. Behind Bush, Walker, Huckabee and maybe even Carson. and that's before South Carolinians have seen Rubio

Agreed on the establishment part. Graham did a good job fielding Stephanopoulos' questions on GMA this morning. You can't win the nomination based on foreign policy creds alone, and that's what he's running on.

Graham is a war hawk. How many people, even Republicans, want that in a President? The guy doesn't come close to representing what most people want in a nation's leader. :suspicious:

There is a reason why he only is getting third place in his own state. He's South Carolina's version of Joe Biden.

Shit! I wasn't honestly trying to give you props and use the lol smiley. :oops:

But nice try on the old news VA piece. If you followed the story, he was the butthurt one who ran to the media over nothing. :nod:
