NY Rep. King leaves door open for presidential bid

GARDEN CITY, N.Y. — Rep. Peter King, whose national profile has climbed as head of the U.S. House Homeland Security panel, is leaving the door open for a possible presidential bid.

The New York congressman, responding to a powerful hometown Republican's suggestion that he run for president, said he was taking a wait-and-see approach.

"Let's see what happens," King told The Associated Press in a telephone interview Wednesday. "This is something out of the blue. It is a great honor, but right now I am focused on getting re-elected to the House next year."

Joseph Mondello, the longtime chairman of the Nassau County Republican Committee — once considered among the most powerful GOP organizations in the country — drew widespread applause from 1,100 fellow Long Island Republicans at a dinner Tuesday night when he suggested King consider a "favorite son" candidacy.

1. Yeech. Fortunately, once again, the ego over rides the possibility

2. I guess I understand the point of view of the powerful Republican.

It's beginning to look like he won't have anybody to vote for in 2012. The Republican field this cycle looks like one big empty room.

3. Um...

Pete King can't run for President.

If he forgot, it's not a well-kept secret in this town (DC) that he's a known associate (and suspected funder) of several known IRA terrorists. I've never been quite sure how he manages to chair a security-sensitive House committee when he'd never pass a clearance check as a private citizen.
