The Newark Star-Ledger reports today that “several well-connected Republicans” in New Jersey have heard buzz that “CNN’s Lou Dobbs is thinking of running for governor of New Jersey.” Dobbs, who has reportedly “inquired about the steps necessary to start a campaign,” refused to deny that he is considering a run, only saying, “I’m just not going to comment.” A gubernatorial run by Dobbs would likely not be without controversy. The non-profit Hispanic Institute recently announced “a Latino boycott of CNN” largely because of Dobbs’s coverage of immigration issues.
