Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-SC) Up for Reelection in Tight Race

Tight Race: How Can We Tell About Graham

Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-SC) warned this week that Republican lawmakers would call for President Obama’s impeachment if he released more prisoners from Guantanamo Bay without congressional approval.  What is Graham worried about with this strong language? Oh, this minor little step may be why he acted and responded the way he did:

Graham is a member of the Armed Services Committee also faces a tough contested primary and along the way he added language to the pending defense authorization bill that would require an up-or-down vote in Congress to approve the closure of Guantanamo.

So, Senator, are you just running for reelection or just running scared? What, cat walk off with your TEA bag. 

Meanwhile not far from SC in sunny FL Sen. Marco Rubio (R-) said that kind of talk “... is not the right approach to warn President Obama about impeachment following the release of Guantánamo prisoners without congressional notice. He was responding to directly to the Graham comments saying in part: “To be honest with you, I'm not sure there are many people here that are focused on that right now.” 

One level-headed response to an unleveled approach – don’t they cancel each other out? So, I guess so no pain, no gain, except for one of these Senators may follow soon. Stay tuned.
