Lindsey Graham for VP!

In an exchange about Graham’s re-election prospects, Lexington COO and defense consultant Loren Thompson suggested the South Carolina senator might be one of the few national Republicans who fits the “veep” bill.

“Lindsey Graham is one of the few legislators the GOP has produced in recent times who has a genuinely presidential temperament,” Thompson said. “A self-made man — his parents died early — he has a 30-year record of military service and a mature, thoughtful demeanor.

“He would be an excellent running mate for the next Republican presidential candidate,” Thompson said, “having exhibited all of the qualities required to be an effective chief executive.”
