As if the 2016 Republican field weren't crowded enough, here's some exciting news: The politician known in the Democratic cat world as Lady Lindsey may toss her petticoat into the ring.
Okay, yes, we're talking about Lindsey Graham and yes, he really did say that he was thinking about it. Oooh! We cats haven't felt like this since Tom Harkin ran in 1992 and screwed up the Iowa caucuses.
That's because a Lady Lindsey, ahem, "entry" into the race will take the most conservative of the four early primary/caucus states off the map. And cue the domino effect, because this will force the right-wing nutjobs (of whom there are many) to collectively rethink their strategies — and possibly make the "Southern super primaries" on Tuesday, March 1 all the more important.
Which is fine with us cats, because guess what? Those super-duper states are not winner take all. So we'd have a real possibility of very few Republican candidates having to drop out early — yet with no one having a clear path to a majority by the end of the season.
So, have at it, Lady Lindsey! We Democrats would love it if you got in. Although with the heavy premium that your party puts on wives and kids, we're not sure how you're going to ride your bachelorhood to victory. Just sayin'. We cats PURR.
