[history]
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.

You bet, Joe is for closed borders and Rove is for amnesty. Great ticket, makes for a really big tent.
Puleez get a clue.

I love Sheriff Joe, but give me a break. The media would have a field day with a guy like this that they consider a “hay seed”. No chance. nowhere, no how.

The Media is never going to be happy with anyone we like. If we think Joe would do a good job, I could care less what the Media thinks.

Oh damn.....
He’s probably one of the best sheriffs in the history of the country, but please don’t do it, and if you do, don’t go 3rd party when you don’t win the nomination!
Sheriff Joe is great, but presidential material he IS NOT!

"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'd prefer Ltc. Lakin.

Hayseed? He would rip the MSM a new a$$hole. He doesn’t care what the Media thinks. He is direct, honest and about the rule of law. He could actually direct the conversation the Tea Party has with the rest of the US.

I’m guessing you don’t live in AZ. Think about it. You know about him, yet he is a Sheriff in AZ. The man knows politics, and the Constitution as well.

he would make one hell’of an attorney general.
WOW! Now that would cause faint to the 'rats after this administration is over. Joe would need 8 years to tackle it all and he would.

“No more skills for doing the job than you or I or Obama.”
Frankly, I have to disagree. You and Sheriff Joe are much more qualified than Obama to be President. You two have good ole common sense.
Heck...a turnip is more qualilfied than Obama.
However, I would love to see just one debate with Obama...and I would love to see him come armed. ;o)
