Washington (CNN) - "America's Toughest Sheriff" Joe Arpaio passed on running for governor earlier this year, but the Arizona lawman who has become a national figure for his tough stand on illegal immigration is not closing the door on a presidential run in 2012.

Thank you. Yes he seems to have a strong work ethic and that tends to lean conservative. :)

I like the guy but he’ll be 80 before he ever takes office.

I would rather he stay in Arizona and fight the Feds from a state level. We need someone like him to give a good example to other states on how to fight back.

If he really wanted to have an impact, he could demand quo warranto to verify that Obama is qualified as president. He is certainly being individual damage via the AG so it seems he would have standing. The Gov. should have done it already. Why won’t someone stand up? What game is being played here?

Col. West is the man I want for president; he is the one who could provide the leadership to get us out of this funk. He is beginning to look like Moses to me.

I nominate Russell Honore, LtGen (Ret).


He’s a good man. And he’s definately “not stuck on stupid”.

Now that alone would scare the hell out of the RNC.

Lol! Didn’t think of that. He definitely won’t get the nod.

I’d have to break for Joe. He’s in the thick of it and taking the heat we can’t.
