Dobbs disavowed rumors that he might run to '08. It may have been in response to rumors his hack started or callers to his radio show, but it's obviously been at the back of his mind for some time.

As for a possible scenario, I'd look for him to try and align his own libertarian bent to Beck's agenda, then he might be able to secure the Beck Ticket. This unholy alliance would definitely give him better standing and for the rest of us, it'd help keep the nuts in one place.

@Magister: I don't think Lou Dobbs is crazy enough to align himself with someone like Beck. He's not a lunatic in the same way that Beck is.

My concern is that Dobbs is much better at painting a misleading picture of why the whites aint got none of them job-a-ma-jiggers.

Beck, on the other hand, uses pure insanity to connected totally random things to one another, which glancing at may seem to have some connection, but is truly completely unrelated events more similar to John Nash, if he were a fan of Alex Jones.

If they were painters, Dobbs would create lots of those black and white pictures where when you look at it one way its a princess, but upside down it's an old woman. Beck makes Rorschach blots out of his own shit and then yells/crys at you until you see what he wants you to see (Karl Marx/Hitler!)

@Voyou_Charmant:
Good analogies, but they were (supposedly) trying to get Dobbs to run as third party candidate and if you mix Beck's followers with Dobbs' somewhat better political face, then toss them in with whatever's left of Perot's organization, you've got viable-looking, Republican-splitting, liberal's dream opponent.

@If_I_Had_a_Poodle: Festival of White Rage was copyrighted in anticipation of the Republican National Convention, which is also known by insiders as HaterFest 2012. You'll have to wait for the album and the concert (Pat and Debby Boone! The Osmonds!). All I can say is that I think it's going to be a little awwwkward for Michael Steele (DJ Wheels of Steele). I sometimes wonder what his conversation with the Devil must have sounded like. "You'll give me money and fame and all I have to do is throw away any shred of dignity or honesty I might have left? Sign me up brother."

Well, neither NJ Senate seat is up for election in 201 so he must be thinking about the House, which is probably more doable, depending on where he lives (or claims to live). #loudobbs

@CParis:

Dobbs should make his official residence in central Newark or Camden (or maybe Elizabeth) because I think the voting base in those towns is most in tune to his political beliefs. And there are no minorities in those towns. #loudobbs

@Zira: I'm thinking Camden, because South Jersey is always a little more conservative than Essex County.
And I'm sure all of his laid-off bilingual neighbors would love to get a chance to meet him at a townhall/tea party.

I may be in the minority here but I thought he came across as fairly reasoned in his response to most of the questions thrown at him, especially given the fact that the Spinner was trying to get him to thrown CNN's management under the bus.

@Buttafooco: I've only watched this snippet, but that he would respond so calmly and matter-a-factly to the question "is Obama the devil?" is not coming across as fairly reasoned to me, particularly since O'Reilly asked the question like that was a legitimate and literal concern #loudobbs

@Atilla the Bun: which is why I said, most of the questions. I certainly can't and won't defend many of his stances on certain issues, but he was equally harsh on the Bush administration so I am more inclined to believe he comes at many of these issues from what he believes is a principled position.....as it exists in his noggin. But you're correct, sitting there and accepting O'Reilly's description of Obama is one of the reasons he comes across as being so offensive to many. #loudobbs

In reply to Does John King Hate Mexicans Enough to Fill Lou Dobbs' Shoes?
Ummm, there's a difference between an attitude of impartiality (I said attitude, not reality) and the kind of insipid, myopic, opinion poll-obsessed, non-analytical, 24-Hour news-cycle-mongering crap that CNN pedals. Of which John King is, well, the King.

That, my friends, is why CNN is unwatchable these days. They can't take a stand or offer in-depth analysis of any kind whatsoever. If Satan himself crawled out of a flaming pit of brimstone in the middle of Times Square, they'd get a panel of pundits on to discuss how it might affect Obama's approval numbers, how this is going to affect the healthcare debate, and whether the Devil was upset because Michelle Obama showed too much of her arms. #cnn
