A friend wonders whether the now-former CNN host might leave TV and radio entirely and take on Obama as an independent presidential candidate. Some conservatives have been floating the idea for years, after all. It sounds kooky at first--and he could almost certainly never win, of course. But I suspect he might wreak some havoc were he to run--although the damage would more likely come from the Republican side, to the benefit of Barack Obama.

Fine by me - we Dems will go ahead and gladly take the three Hispanics left in the country who might vote Republican. Dodd/Palin 2012!

Maybe, but Lou is also rabidly protectionist, as are many blue-collar Dems. But he's not running anywhere.

Hmmmm butchie, good point. But you'd be hard pressed to find a politician these days who has a more solid pro-union record than Obama. He's air tight.

Wandrey, I like your (presumably inadvertent) desire for a Dodd/Palin 2012 ticket -- a combination designed to get absolutely no votes whatsoever.

I think that a Dobbs/Palin or Palin/Dobbs ticket would be like a breath of honesty for the GOP. Both individuals represent the wretched bigotry and know-nothingness that as become the modern GOP. And I think that they might even pull in 40% of the vote too. The GOP is a party that has no room for anyone who doesn't think like Dobbs and Palin so why not make it official.

Gee, Cookie, I don't much care for either one. Guess I better turn in my party card, huh?
