Believe it or not, he has been on a listening tour, and may announce on his broadcast tonight. He's the best thing to happen to politics in a century. He'll take about equally from both parties, and may well win. You can read the transcript of last night's show at www.LouDobbs.com . CNN, 7pm EST GB

Here it is from the transcript:
(Kitty) PILGRIM: Well, there's no end tonight to the speculation that our very own Lou Dobbs is considering a run for the white house. It really began picking up steam in the past week.
Take a look at what influential conservative columnist Bob Novak wrote. "In the name of long time CNN commentator Lou Dobbs has entered speculation as a possible Independent candidate for president."
And John Fund wrote in the "Wall Street Journal, "Lou Dobbs for president? Don't laugh. Dobbs would be a natural fit in this campaign playing the role of anchorman in the 1970s movies Network who bellowed I'm mad as hell and I'm not going to take it anymore."
Also, New York's Mayor Michael Bloomberg said last week when asked if Lou should run, "Go for it."
Well we can tell you that Lou is on what you could call a listening tour in Boston tonight. He's there after a week of canvassing the country. And all that we can only say is that Lou is still undecided. But apparently many Americans have decided already. So take a look at this.
A recent AOL poll asked, do you think Dobbs will enter the race? 40% seemed to accept Lou's earlier word that he would not run but 31% said he will enter the race. 29% said they weren't sure.
Now take a look at this, when asked if Lou does run, would you vote for him? 56% in an AOL online poll said yes. Our political analysts point out that's 1% more than Dwight D. Eisenhower got in his landslide victory in 2952.
In our own LOU DOBBS TONIGHT poll here on Friday, 93% said they would vote for an independent president. Well, Lou will be back from his listening tour tomorrow and we'll see what he has to say so stay tuned on that.

Dobbs would get my vote hands down.
He knows his stuff on the economy. (His bachelor's degree in Economics from Harvard doesn't hurt.)
I think his biggest obstacle would be getting on the ballot in every state.

Dobbs/Paul Dobbs/Kucinich - now that would be a dream ticket
No one else in the MSM has their finger on the populist pulse like Dobbs

Thanks, Ryan. I signed, gave to the site, and pledged $2100 to his campaign, a big stretch, believe me. I'm disappointed there hasn't been more response. There is also www.LouDobbs4President.net , complete with forum. GB

Dobbs would be the 3rd party, non-partisan candidate that would be ideal in many ways. I'm not sure overall, but, I'm Sick and Tired of Both REPUBLICANS and Democrats. It's time for a new turning.
He's got my vote at this time.

Lou would have my vote hands down. His candidacy would fill a huge void of what is needed in this country. I signed the petition and have sent Lou emails at his CNN link. That's a campaign I would love to help with. Go Lou we desperately need you!

I would defintely support a Dobbs third party candidacy. He speaks populism the best and we need to break the two party duopoly = basically two wings on the same bird
