Lindsey Graham says he's now considering

[Blue3]

Jeb Bush jumped in, then Romney talked about challenging him, and now Lindsey Graham is considering.

So this seems to be a new fad that has come about for this cycle - an 'announcement of consideration'.

[CLARENCE 2015!]

WOW!!!!!!!!
He would be a phenomenal candidate..........would make me think long and hard about my support for Hillary

[retromike22]

"considering" ugh.

Is this the future: "I announce that I am considering an announcement of exploring the possibility of possibly running for President."

[Mr. Morden]

Potential candidates have been saying that they were "considering" running plenty of times before.  Graham himself gave some version of "I'm thinking about it" a couple of times already in the last couple of months:

so I'm unclear on what's new in his latest statement.

Yeah, this theater is getting really annoying.

Wow, I'd love to see that bloodthirsty old queen give it a go! Watching him and Rand Paul go at it in a debate? That would be GREAT television.

"Gurl!!! Sass it!!"

[Eraserhead]

His % chance of winning the primary would actually be less than zero.

[King]

President Lindsey Graham... lol.

[Vega]

I guess he'd be the Duncan Hunter of 2016.

Would McCain even endorse him?

[The Mikado]

Kind of telling how everyone runs to the gay jokes when Lindsey Graham comes up. That said, our first bachelor president since James Buchanan would be a powerful stride forward for single guys everywhere.

Lindsey Graham is gay. Everyone knows it, except, apparently, the good people of South Carolina (or maybe they do and they don't care, like the rest of us). Not that I have anything against him being gay or anyone being gay. I just think it's hilarious he's South Carolina's U.S. Senator and that both U.S. Senators from South Carolina, are in fact, bachelors.

Lindsay Graham is gay?  I didn't know it.  Who would have thought that America's first gay President would be a Republican?  Or maybe he would be the second, Buchanan is questionable...

[Grumpier Than Uncle Joe]

Doesn't he need to come out before he considers getting in?

[Fritz]

Doing a little googling on the subject, I find that Graham's gay rumors are based solely on the fact that he never married, and he has denied it.  Unless some more conclusive evidence comes to light, I'm inclined to believe him.

I'd like to ask Brian Schweitzer's men-from-the-South gaydar for a second opinion.  If it's good enough for Eric Cantor, it must be good enough for Graham.

Before Iowa, sure... After Graham flames out in the Hawkeye state though...

[Pandaguineapig]

because we need a southern belle as president?

[I Will Not Be Wrong]

He would have an advantage from being from South Carolina, though the Tea Party hates his guts.I think he would be a good pick for the establishment weary of Christie's scandals if Bush doesn't run.

It will be kind of funny to see him lose the primary in his own state to Ted Cruz.

[user12345]

I would love to see the landslide Hillary vs. Graham would be.

[Del Tachi]

If he were to run, I may be obligated to support Graham due to the fact that he's a fellow, Southern, gay Republican.

Q:  What do you call a gay Southerner?
A:  A homosex-y'all

Redundancies are redundant.
my support will not be swayed from Brian Schweitzer.

Are you sure you're a Republican?
