Dobbs Mulling White House, Senate Run
A day after Sarah Palin said she’d consider Glenn Beck as a running mate if she runs for president in 2012, Lou Dobbs tells Reuters “I am ruling nothing out” when asked if he would consider running for Senate in his home state of New Jersey or for president in 2012. “I have come to no conclusions and no decisions. Do I seek to have some influence on public policy? Absolutely. Do I seek to represent and champion the middle class in this country and those who aspire to it? Absolutely. And I will.”

Doubtful this Egocentric, Arrogant and conflicted azz could win in a "run for the Seat of Dog Catcher!"

Since Dobbs worked at CNN, chances are that he is a democrat. My guess is he's planning to run against Obama in the 2012 democratic primaries-----and that would be a heck of a lot of fun to watch!

Dobbs switched his party affiliation in 2006 from Republican to independent.

Plant Lou is independent he was a Republican but got fed up with Bush.
Plantagenet
If Dobbs is an independent then he could switch to democrat and run against Obama in the democratic primary. Given how incompetent Obama has already proven himself to be, there may well be a couple of challengers for Obama in the democratic party primaries.

Plant, you are so full of shit even your fellow rightwingnuts are repudiating you.
flux88mph
OK It's official Plantagent is talking out of his ass!!!!!!!!
You had no idea that Dobbs is very much right-wing?
I can't remember who said it but you really are paid to say the things you say.
Are you not?
jaydeekay
I believe he works for TDB.
flux88mph
Well they need to pay someone who know's what the fuck they're talking about especially if that person is a conservative.
devilsadvocate
He must be dreaming, if he thinks he's got a chance at the White House. The Senate, on the other hand....well, you'd be surprised who some people will actually elect to the Senate.
henryviii
It just goes to show you. In this wonderful country of ours any jerk can run for office and possibly be elected. And any jerk can become rich and famous on radio or tv if they are glib and don't have problems taking liberties with the truth. There is a large body of bigoted ignoramuses out there ready to listen to them
BOKOBOT
Dumb and dumber, and dumber still, and dumber yet again...where does this freak-show end??
winston1
Go for it Lou anything is better then what's in the Whitehouse now.

Demsdisorder
very liberal of you
SFGiants
Whiny: grow up.

Frank Lautenberg is about 200 years old, and probably isn't going to run for reelection. That leaves it wide open in NJ, with no good candidates on the horizon
PhilMcRoin
mayor cory?
jaydeekay
That is possible, I would assume.
Unless he is a 'real' person and sees there's still work to be done where he is.
FatFreddy
My bad. Menendez is up in 2012, Lautenberg is 2014. He's 87 right now, that will make him 92 in 2014. There may be an election before 2012 for Senate in NJ (no ill wishes).
PhilMcRoin
Wow, I guess anyone can run for president these days... I nominate plantene..
Demsdisorder
while i agree with the nomination of Plant,
" I guess anyone can run for president these days... " need i remind you who is currently in office? If that doesn't prove that any a-hole can be elected nothing will.
Demsdisorder
Palin/Dobbs 2010 i like it.
jaydeekay
In 2010, eh?
Is it interesting in your world?
Demsdisorder
Obama will be impeached by then.
jaydeekay
Oh... so we will hold a Presidential election?
You are one DIM bulb.
AlanD2
You guys couldn't even get Clinton, Demsdisorder.
AlanD2
I like it too, Demsdisorder. It's a guarantee of Obama's reelection.

Good Lord? I have watched Lou Dobbs for years on CNN. Whoever thinks he is a Democrats must be feasting on catnip. I wrote to CNN several times complaining about Lou's ultra right-wing agenda. He said so many negative things about Obama well before the election that I wrote and told him Obama would be his president. I long believe Lou ought to have been on FOX.
He is Republican as far as I am concerned. Don't count Lou out. A good word from Rush Limbaugh and he is in.
FatFreddy
If Lou were to run as a Republican, he would be a moderate Republican. We all know what is happening to moderate Republicans these days, right?
AlanD2
Yup. RINOed out of the party. Or Scozzafavaed. Your pick.
FatFreddy
Scozzafavaed - that's a mouthful.

This is news, not. It's the usual Lou Dobbs frog fratulence & fish feces. To paraphrase Dobbbs, don't rule out any hate mongering tactic to further polarize Americans by Dobbs & his ilk. Lou will appear at anything from a letter opening to a race riot till he becomes an ir-relavant, obscure, non-entity.
matthewbenzor
Lou Dobbs has his soldiers ready for a 2012 run,for 30 years everyday people would write in saying they have switched to independent because of Lou and show after show Lou gathered them up, its going to be a battle in 2012.........! independents would follow Lou over Sarah Bush and the third party conservatives ...........! watch out here comes Lou Dobbs and his independent soldiers
