Sen. Lindsey Graham ‘Testing The Waters’ On Run For President


lgrSen. Lindsey Graham of South Carolina has set up a committee he says will help him look beyond his home state to determine if he might have a “viable path” to the Republican presidential nomination.

Graham said on NBC’s “Meet the Press” that he set up a “testing-the-waters committee” to allow him to consider a presidential bid.

The South Carolina Republican said he’s unsure “where this will go,” but he intends to look into a possible campaign. His home state is the site of the nation’s first Southern primary and often serves as a crucial test for presidential candidates.

Graham said in December he was thinking about seeking the GOP nomination. He has been a close ally of Sen. John McCain of Arizona, Republicans’ presidential nominee in 2008.

  1. Nice background. He has been outspoken on some civil liberties issues. Probably conservative enough to hold the Republican base together, and moderate enough to win. Definitely not a great public speaker, but maybe this is the year for sincerity rather than oratory. If he won, he would be the second bachelor to be president (the last one was a fiasco, though his lack of a wife probably didn’t effect his inability to prevent the civil war).
