UPDATE: Sen. Graham has left the stage.
Sen. John McCain’s good friend South Carolina Sen. Lindsey Graham opened his speech with an Iraq-based theme.
‘Barack Obama’s campaign is built around us losing in Iraq,’ Graham said. He went on to talk about the unpopularity of McCain’s support of the troop surge.
‘It was the right thing to do,’ because losing in Iraq would have been a nightmare for America, he said. He added, ‘It was John McCain’s voice and credibility,’ that stopped us from losing in Iraq.
