Another Republican, Senator Lindsey O. Graham of South Carolina, has announced on Thursday that he has already formed an investigative committee that would examine his presidential bid for the race on 2016.

The committee, called "Security Through Strength," aims to raise money for the senator's possible campaign although he has not yet verified if he is already sure he is entering the race. According to critics, his announcement and interest for the post shows that the presidential run is heavily dominated by Republicans.

In a media statement, Graham shared his optimism on his leadership: "I am confident that conservatism can win a national election, that my form of conservatism has been accepted in South Carolina, and maybe it will be accepted outside of South Carolina. I won't know until I try."

However, Graham is known for having different views on certain issues that his fellow Republicans oppose such as immigration. But he is one of the leading aggressors regarding national security. He might be in the level of another presidential hopeful Senator Rand Paul of Kentucky.

Graham is also one of the most vocal critics of Obama as he argues about military action against Iraq and Syria. He pointed out that the security of the nation is economic prosperity and noted that peaceful coexistence with radical Islam is not possible.

Aside from Paul, other hopeful Republicans for the presidential race include former Florida Governor Jeb Bush, Senator Marco Rubio of Florida, Former Arkansas Governor Mike Huckabee, Senator Ted Cruz of Texas, Former Governor of Massachusetts Mitt Romney, New Jersey Governor Chris Christie and many more.

Cruz, commenting on the "crowded" pool of Republicans who are after the post, said that it is a "healthy thing."
