Among the choices on the the American Family Association’s online poll, “Who should McCain select as his running mate,” is Sen. Lindsey Graham, the mild-mannered militarist from South Carolina. Never married and 53, Graham is a member of John McCain’s posse.
Graham became nationally known during the Clinton impeachment when he served on the House prosecution team. A longtime JAG officer in the Air Force Reserves, George Bush himself officiated when Graham was promoted to colonel in 2004. He did a tour of duty in Iraq last year.
The AFA poll has been up since Aug. 20, and as of August 25, Graham had the lowest score, only 424 votes. Former Gov. Mike Huckabee of Arkansas led with 84,357 votes.
Others in the poll include Govs. Bobby Jindal of Louisiana, Sarah Palin of Alaska, Haley Barbour of Mississippi (429 votes), Tim Pawlenty of Minnesota and former Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney, who was second under Huckabee, with 38, 544 votes.
The AFA is an anti-gay lobbying group that uses direct marketing of homophobic propaganda to raise millions.
