ON THE MAP — When President Barack Obama needed a big win in Congress, it was U.S. House Majority Whip Jim Clyburn who wrangled the votes necessary to win passage of the president’s massive health care reform bill. And when Obama wants to find a Republican with an independent streak to build a bridge between conservatives and Democrats on illegal immigration reform, energy independence or detainee matters, U.S. Sen. Lindsey Graham is the one he has called on. Not since the days of U.S. Sens. Strom Thurmond and Fritz Hollings has South Carolina commanded this kind of influence inside the Beltway.
