On climate bill, Democrats work to overcome Graham's immigration objections: Washington Post
"I've got some political courage, but I'm not stupid," Graham said in an interview Saturday.

But when he goes home to his state to talk to constituents about the issues they care about most, "nobody talks about this. I never hear about it."
