Sources close to MSNBC host Joe Scarborough think he is seriously considering the prospect of leaving morning television to run for president in 2016.
Last week, Scarborough was all smiles — even letting out a laugh — on “Morning Joe” when Weekly Standard editor Bill Kristol suggested on the air that Scarborough could represent the “Jon Huntsman lane” in a 2016 GOP primary.
But behind the scenes, those who know Scarborough are not laughing.
It’s widely believed at MSNBC — including among network brass — that Scarborough is actively mulling a presidential bid, sources said.
Meanwhile, some of Scarborough’s guests are beginning to talk him up as a possible candidate. Mark McKinnon — the former adviser to George W. Bush and John McCain who co-founded the group No Labels and appears on Morning Joe regularly — said he has talked about the prospect of a White House campaign with Scarborough “ever since we first met years ago, but always in the abstract.”
“On paper, he’s a great candidate,” McKinnon told The Daily Caller. “He has the kind of confidence, ideas and media savvy required to make it on the big stage. And he’d be a lot of fun to watch because he wouldn’t be afraid to mix it up with anybody on any topic. I think it would be highly entertaining and good for the party.”

Who is Joe Scarborough anyway?
What a loathesome, disgusting idea! I wouldn’t be able to watch any of the debates if I had to put up with his sanctimonious smirk the whole time.
Glad to hear you're taking it seriously, Joe. Unfortunately for you, nobody else is.
yessssssssss...
A GOP candidate the democrats could get behind (until the primariesw are over)
Thats what we need! (again)
I doubt he would make it past any preliminary rounds after the first person to ask him about the dead body in his office. I wonder if that is what made him bought and paid for by the democrats?

They also tried to reach Vince Foster and Ron Brown for additional comment......
And Gray Davis’s intern as well..
Joe Who?
for which party?
I wouldn’t vote for him if he was only going to follow the Circus Elephants in a parade
I guess Hillarycide doesn’t bother him. Didn’t he see what happened to Chrispie Creme Christie the same week Hitlery started her internet campaign for POTUS? “Oh what’s this? Oh he closed the bridge....and the info comes out now on that. WHAT a coincidence!”
Florida Joe! What happened in Florida Joe! Why did you resign right after FLORIDA Joe??
Yuh, that’ll work....
Didn’t he kill enough interns ??
