Lindsey Graham, Mike Huckabee Hint At 2016 Presidential Ambitions

Two prominent Republicans fueled speculation Sunday that they would jump into the increasingly crowded fray for the 2016 GOP presidential nomination.

Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-S.C.) and former Arkansas Governor Mike Huckabee both suggested they were considering a bid for the Oval Office.

“I’m definitely looking into it,” Graham said on NBC's "Meet the Press" Sunday morning.

Huckabee, on ABC’s "This Week," was a bit more emphatic.

“There's a very strong likelihood that some time later in the spring, which has always been my timetable, I'll make some kind of a declaration and clearly state my intentions," said Huckabee. "I'll put it that way.”

But then, he can probably fleece some money out of his "supporters" before dropping out.
