WASHINGTON (AP) — Sen. 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.

He better grow a bread if he’s going to run.
Now this HAS to be great news for John McCain.
HA! HA! HA! HA!
Go for it Ms. Lindsay…the first gay (albeit closeted) gop/bag running for POTUS!
Now, that’s interesting!
And, PS. I don’t care one way or the other if you’re gay! If you were out of the closet, that would be kind cool. Meanwhile, I am not sure that your bible-thumping, bigoted base will be open minded enough to get you through the gop/bag primaries!
The Senator from AZ should change his name to John mcPalin…
This is wonderful! Maybe Mitt and Sen. Graham can run together (I don’t care who takes which spot on the ticket-both are have equal levels of qualifications and charisma)!
