Lou Dobbs Considers a Presidential Run in 2012
----------------------------------------------



Former CNN anchor Lou Dobbs has acknowledged he is considering a run for
the White House in 2012. Dobbs addressed the issue in a radio interview
on Fred Thompson’s show.

Fred Thompson: Lou, one way to have a voice — you’ve already had a big
one, but another way to have a voice is in public service. Have you
given any thought to perhaps running for president?

Lou Dobbs: I’m talking — yes is the answer. And I’m going to be talking
some more with some folks who want me to listen to them in the next few
weeks. You know, I, so I just don’t even what to tell you in terms of
where I’m leaning because right now I’m fortunate to have a number of
wonderful options. I do know this, I’m going to have the best advice. I
may make a terrible decision, but I’m going to have great advice.

Lou Dobbs resigned from CNN earlier this month. A coalition of Latino
groups recently led a campaign for his removal from CNN over his alleged
anti-Latino bias in covering immigration reform.
