Dobbs hinting at possible run for elected office
http://thinkprogress.org/2009/11/11/dobbs-leaving-cnn/

snip//

In his departure statement, Dobbs -- who previously mulled a run for governor of New Jersey -- seemed to hint at a possible run for elected office. "Some leaders in media, politics, and business have been urging me to go beyond the role here at CNN and to engage in constructive problem-solving," he said. "At this point, I am considering a number of options," he continued, proceeding to lay out his view of "the major issues of our time." Efforts need to be made to break the gridlock of "partisanship and ideology," Dobbs explained, adding, "I'll be working diligently to change that." "I thank you and may God bless you," he concluded.

4. Why'd you say that? Texas, composed of many Hispanic people,
would hate him.

9. Wouldn't that be a great place for Dobbs to test the political waters?
I bet there are plenty of Hispanics and immigrants in New Jersey. Unless, he lives in another state that he keeps secret from others.

Texas should make him an honorary citizen and allow him to run for office.

10. No, it wouldn't be a great place for Dobbs, but I don't think any
state would be. He's too xenophobic and full of plain old hate. It's probably just bluster anyway.

14. That's what I posted earlier I thought so.
If he was such a putz on CNN how much of a chance do you think he would have if he ran for office. Think he'll join the tea party.
