There were rumors of this before. Nugent would be good for 2nd Amendment and CCW issues in Michigan and PETA has declared him public enemy #1 (which is a badge of honor.)
Nugent, who is more Libertarian than Republican, would be following the likes of Jesse Ventura and Arnold Schwarzennegger...

I met Nugent a few years back at a YAF/FreedomFest Convention in Las Vegas. He was an entertaining speaker and he and his wife were promoting their cookbook...

(Liberalism is a mental disorder. Socialism is a deep psychosis. Communism is brain cancer.)
From Wikipedia.org (sic):
Nugent and the animal rights movement have long had an adversarial relationship. In 2000, Bhaskar Sinha was jailed briefly following an incident with Nugent outside a department store in San Francisco in which he allegedly threatened and physically assaulted Nugent, who in turn took Sinha into custody until San Francisco Police arrived and arrested the protester.
Nugent has reported receiving death threats against him and his family from animal rights activists. On the Penn & Teller’s Bullshit! episode about PETA, Nugent claimed, “We’ve got reports and files with law enforcement across America where animal rights extremists are on record threatening to kill my children on the way to school because we eat pheasant”. In 2006 he stated in an interview that “anyone who thinks hunting is terrible can kiss my ass.” [11]
In a 1992 radio interview, Nugent referred to Heidi Prescott of the Fund for Animals as a “worthless whore” and a “shallow slut,” asking “who needs to club a seal, when you can club Heidi?” and was ordered by a court to pay $75,000. [12]
Nugent owns a hunting ranch near Jackson, Michigan, called Sunrize Acres. Anti hunters claim this fenced facility offers “canned” hunts. Nugent has said, “I understand the criticism” from those who say canned hunting violates the ethic of fair chase, though he still operates the facility. Nugent was recently interviewed by Field & Stream magazine regarding “canned” hunts.[13] At Sunrize Acres he personally guides customers on a hunt for trophy bull bison ($5,000), Russian boar, or white-tailed deer ($10,000 each). [14]

Nothing in his current vocabulary makes me believe he would be anything like Ventura and Schwarzennegger. He would make a great governor, IMHO.

My impression is that he’s considerably more conservative than Schwarzenegger. And he isn’t as stupid as Jesse Ventura. Probably more conservative than he is libertarian, he is a strong supporter of the WOT and border enforcement.
I know he doesn’t do drugs, doesn’t like it that others do drugs, but I’m not sure if he is for laws restricting their use or not.

I’ve met Nugent and, while I appreciate his support of both gun rights and the tradition of hunting, I am no great fan of his. That said, I do think that I’d thoroughly enjoy watching him run those Michigan leftists around the maypole a few times. If he should win such an election, it would take an “E” ticket to get into the show.

Nugent refuses to mince words and often uses a racial epithet to describe blacks that normally would mean political suicide.Really? I've never heard him say it.

Although I like Ted and his politics, I’m afraid he would end up like a dog that finally catches the car he’s chasing if he were to win.

Any non-felon in the state can get a CCW now.
