Here's a thought: LK decides to enter the race, so that when the legal walls eventually cave in on him, he can claim that he is being politically persecuted because he is a "new kind of Republican". Plus it is a fresh venue for him to get postive media publicity by criticizing the Bush admin. and put out the smears that the Dem candidate would normally throw out. And perhaps attract just enough nutball/purist/'I'll never vote for GOP candidate X because of issue Y' voters to play the spoiler role and deny a GOP win. Maybe LK has found some new 'financial contributors' who have 'encouraged' him to run...

You have postulated a most likely scenario, unfortunately.

People attacked those of us who were onto this guy's scams early on. HA!
