Sen. John McCain is prodding one of his closest allies in the Senate to consider a run for the White House – Sen. Lindsey Graham.

“I think he is looking at it, and I am strongly encouraging him to take a look at it,” McCain, R-Ariz., told ABC News. “I know of no one who is better versed and more important on national security policy and defense than Lindsey Graham, and I don’t think these challenges to our security are going away.”

“He is eminently qualified,” McCain added.

“If I get through my general election, if nobody steps up in the presidential mix, if nobody’s out there talking -— me and McCain have been talking -— I may just jump in to get to make these arguments,” Graham said.

I join John McCain in strongly urging Lindsey Graham to run.

Maybe we can come up with some ways to support a grassroots push to draft him into the crowded field.

Graham wouldn't be making any arguments that haven't already been spat out by his colleagues.

But please, throw another distraction into the mix. That's all we need. McCain is quite familiar with serving as a distraction.

This. Run, Lindsey, Run! He certainly won't drain much support off of Rand.

Poorly-closeted Senator has no actual constituency beyond lobbyists and those who hire them. Neocons have other preferences, and he's interchangeable to the moneymen.

I am getting a "Run, Lindsey, Run!" bumper sticker.

For the front bumper.
