Lou Dobbs for president! By Joe Conason

[Swede]

:rofl:


The next day, in his first radio broadcast after resigning from the news network, he appealed directly to independent voters, whom he said "dominate the registration rolls in this country for the first time," and went on to criticize President Obama as a leader who "focuses on the partisan and racial" in a "21st century post-partisan, post-racial society."

Having observed the former CNN anchor for many years, including a number of recent appearances on his nightly broadcast, I suspect that he may well nurture ambitions to run for president, as reported in the trade press -- and could mount a formidable campaign drawing upon the same resentful remnant that Republicans hope to mobilize in 2012. Except that he probably won't be running as a Republican.

7. If the stuffed shirt draws votes away from the GOP, let him do it

But I don't see him having the type of populist charisma to run a serious third party threat.

8. No way will he run for president......

he'll probably run for something on the state level or maybe even run for congress or the senate. That's IF he runs, my guess is that he will and then give up on his campaign because the votes won't be there. After that he'll make some deals with Fox and get his own show on there like Beck did.

You'll fit in at Fox, you racist pig.
