Today, the Wall Street Journal notes that CNN’s Lou Dobbs is increasingly being mentioned as a potential independent presidential candidate by pundits such as Robert Novak. Dobbs’s response:
Mr. Dobbs says he isn’t planning to run. “I haven’t got the personality or nature to be a politician,” he said in an interview Thursday. But he makes clear he hasn’t ruled out the idea. “I cannot say never,” he said.
Dobbs himself also “fanned the presidential speculation in November, posting a column on CNN’s Web site that floated the idea that a surprise candidate was poised to enter the race.”
