Big question as Lindsey Graham announces his presidential bid…<\/p>\n
Will Joseph Lieberman endorse him?<\/p>\n
There is some comedy in that the McCain — Graham — Lieberman brand<\/a> is seriously reported in the news media as a thing.<\/p>\n Ayotte is the newest member of the \u00e2\u20ac\u0153Three Amigos,\u00e2\u20ac\u009d having filled the void that was left when Sen. Joseph Lieberman (I-Conn.) retired from Congress in 2012<\/em>.<\/p>\n They visit Iraq once or twice, and then congeal into a beltway media favorite band.<\/p>\n Though… that’s not enough to get him into the top tier of candidates, and so as of now being left out of the debates… a top tier composed of, oh, 10 candidates<\/a> and including obvious non-candidate Donald Trump.<\/p>\n On the Democratic side, where the debates look like they will include anyone who wants to murmur about a presidential run (Jim Webb will be in, whether or not he decides he’s running… )\u00c2\u00a0 … because we’re down to a cool 6 candidates, it looks like… and the odd duck is Lincoln Chafee who’s making a splash by coming out for the Metric system… here’s a quotient of folks rallying behind the Metric System idea…\u00c2\u00a0<\/a> and redoubts that his campaign is out of time.\u00c2\u00a0 Personally, I don’t think Chafee goes far enough.\u00c2\u00a0 Way too much of a squishy moderate on this issue.\u00c2\u00a0 I’m waiting for someone to chime in on behalf of the Decimal Time system<\/a> put in place by the French Revolution.\u00c2\u00a0 Anyone?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Big question as Lindsey Graham announces his presidential bid… Will Joseph Lieberman endorse him?
