Sen. Lindsey Graham’s possible 2016 presidential bid may have just gotten a bit more complicated.

You're probably right.  However, people keep saying he might jump into the race.  People like Lindsey Graham, for example.



“If I get through my general election, if nobody steps up in the presidential mix, if nobody’s out there talking — me and (John) McCain have been talking — I may just jump in to get to make these arguments,” the South Carolina Republican told The Weekly Standard.
