Defeat Lindsey Graham

Anyone paying attention is well aware that Lindsey Graham is John McCain’s mini me.  Graham follows McCain around like a lost puppy.  It makes me wonder just what Lindsey hopes to gain.  Could he have higher aspirations?  Certainly no one expects McCain to tap Graham as VP.  That would be the kiss of death for McCain.  Of course, he’s done stupider things before.  But I don’t think that’s what Graham is angling for.

No, I think Graham want the AG post in a McCain administration.  And if McCain is elected, I expect that’s precisely what will happen.  Yet, Graham is busy running for re-election in South Carolina!  That isn’t surprising of course.  Lots of politicians do the same thing.  It’s galling when it happens.  The bottom line is, their ambition is far more important than their commitment to their constituents.

If you are planning to support Graham in his re-election bid, just remember that should McCain be successful in November, Graham isn’t likely to hang around South Carolina any longer.  He’ll ditch this state and his constituents and the state of South Carolina will face the cost of another election to replace him.

In my view it makes far more sense to just go ahead and replace Graham now.  It’s not like we’ll be losing much anyway.  He has stabbed us in the back after all.  So lets save ourselves a lot of trouble and just kick him out now.  We’ll save money, the state will be better off and so will the country.
