2 dozen running
Thursday, June 4th, 2015Big question as Lindsey Graham announces his presidential bid…
Will Joseph Lieberman endorse him?
There is some comedy in that the McCain — Graham — Lieberman brand is seriously reported in the news media as a thing.
Ayotte is the newest member of the “Three Amigos,†having filled the void that was left when Sen. Joseph Lieberman (I-Conn.) retired from Congress in 2012.
They visit Iraq once or twice, and then congeal into a beltway media favorite band.
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 and including obvious non-candidate Donald Trump.
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… ) … 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… and redoubts that his campaign is out of time. Personally, I don’t think Chafee goes far enough. Way too much of a squishy moderate on this issue. I’m waiting for someone to chime in on behalf of the Decimal Time system put in place by the French Revolution. Anyone?
