Really. Turnabout, as they say, is fair play ... and it seems this election may be getting serious. From Yahoo / Reuters:

U.S. Democratic presidential candidate Bob Graham said on Thursday there were grounds to impeach President Bush if he was found to have led America to war under false pretenses.

While Graham did not call for Bush's impeachment, he said if the president lied about the reasons for going to war with Iraq it would be "more serious" than former President Bill Clinton's lie under oath about his sexual relationship with Monica Lewinsky.

"If in fact we went to war under false pretenses that is a very serious charge," Graham, the senior U.S. senator from Florida, told reporters in New Hampshire.

"If the standard of impeachment is the one the House Republicans used against Bill Clinton, this clearly comes within that standard," he said.

Eight of them, in fact, and he's also planning a visit to Quad-Cities later this month. Here's the account from the Quad-City times.

Honestly: what else would he say? That he's not? Nonetheless, you can see the stump speech developing. Here's the account from the Sarasota Herald-Tribune:

Graham, a former Florida governor, said he's from "the electable wing of the Democratic Party" and described himself as a "moderate, commonsense Democrat." ...

... "I can beat George Bush in Florida and I will not have to have the U.S. Supreme Court to cast the last vote to do it," he told about 150 people at the state Democratic Party headquarters in Oklahoma City ...

... Graham, the former chairman of the Senate Intelligence Committee, said Bush had not done enough in the war on terrorism, referring to terrorist leader Osama bin Laden as "Osama bin Forgotten."

From the Concord Monitor (NH):

According to one recent poll, Graham's name recognition among New Hampshire Democrats has doubled from 42 percent to 80 percent during the past four months. Nonetheless, the percentage of those who plan to vote for him stood at 2 percent.

Most polls put Kerry ahead, followed by Dean.

"You've got Dean on one side the state, and you've got Kerry on the other side," said Bill Cashin, a former Manchester alderman who is supporting Graham. "We understand the numbers. We know we're in an uphill fight, but I think we're going to see some surprises."

AMHERST, N.H. - While people across the country celebrated Fourth of July with barbecues, baseball games and parades, residents of the first-in-the-nation primary state sized up possible presidents.

Four presidential hopefuls made their pitch to voters while marching with kids on bikes, Revolutionary War re-enactors, scouts, unicyclists and bands. New Hampshire's primary is scheduled for Jan. 27, 2004.

Massachusetts Sen. John Kerry and former Vermont Gov. Howard Dean had the most supporters — and noisemakers — while marching in Amherst and then Merrimack, both within 15 miles of the Massachusetts state line. Kerry has ranked first in New Hampshire's latest polls and Dean has come in second.

Connecticut Sen. Joe Lieberman and Florida Sen. Bob Graham had fewer supporters present, but both shook as many hands and kissed as many babies as the regional candidates.

Florida Senator Bob Graham’s Democratic Presidential Campaign is shifting gears.

The former sunshine state Governor recently signed a deal to sponsor a team in the NASCAR Craftsman truck series.

According to published reports the truck will be covered with Graham’s campaign logos when it makes its debut at the Auto Parts 500 in Kansas City on Saturday.

From the Arizona Republic:

As the glow of military success in Iraq fades, President Bush will face the same decline in popularity his father experienced after the first Gulf War, U.S. senator and presidential candidate Bob Graham said Friday.

A bad economy sank the first President Bush, and "we're having a very parallel, indifferent, clueless" approach to the current slump, the Florida Democrat said on his first visit to Arizona.
