Sen. Lindsey Graham: Obama Is “Beatable” But Who Can Do It Has “Yet To Emerge”
Republican Senator Lindsey Graham appeared on State of the Union and regarding which Republican candidates for President he likes as of now, suggested “I’m looking for the most conservative person who’s electable, and that person has yet to emerge.” Front-runners like former Governor Mitt Romney and former Speaker Newt Gingrich who have very much emerged already probably won’t be thrilled with Graham’s lukewarm response to their viability as candidates.
Graham continued:
“We’ve got a tall task as Republicans. . . . I think President Obama is beatable, but we’ve got to nominate someone that can win over independent voters who do want smaller government and less spending but understand there’s a role for government.”
The only potential candidate Graham specifically called out was Congressman Ron Paul, who he described as “well-organized” and with a ton of energy behind his ideas, but doubted his ability to actually win. Although, given that the moderate Graham is not a favorite amongst conservatives or Tea Party members, it’s likely no candidate in a Republican primary would really care what he thinks.
