Dobbs fuels buzz on presidential run
NY Post ^ | April 15, 2010 | NY Post

Lou Dobbs keeps the buzz going about a possible presidential run in next month's issue of GQ. The former CNN anchor tells writer Jeanne Marie Laskas, "I never said I'm running for president" -- but continues, "I'm not ruling anything out. I don't know what I'm going to do." He adds that his wife, Debi, is "probably more open to considering it than she's ever been."

Speculation that Dobbs might be interested in trying for the Oval Office -- however far-fetched -- began after he ended a 30-year run with CNN in November with a reported $8 million severance package. Dobbs and the network were at odds over his repeated blasting of American immigration policies and his reporting on the anti-Obama "birthing conspiracy," whose proponents claim that President Obama wasn't born in the United States. (Dobbs tells GQ the departure was amicable.)

Dobbs’d get at most a tiny share of primary votes in either party and wouldn’t be able to raise any money. This is just a stunt to get people to pay attention to him.

I don't get it. Dobbs was a fairly normal person, then he retired and went ape s***.

Yup.
He might as well forget any dreams of being president. He is still free to run of course, but he'd get quashed like a bug. Republicans and conservatives won't vote him, and the liberals sure as heck won't vote for him either. He doesn't seem to stand for anything right now.
